CabDriver Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Your use of textures is an underappreciated skill on your builds Mark - those latest parts look great! Edited December 6, 2020 by CabDriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Thank you Jim! I turned my attention back to the interior and started fabricating the dash parts. The bulkhead is all styrene; solid stock and sheet. The dash/gauge panels were made from sheet styrene too. A little more styrene was used for the steering column and its mount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Its been a while since I stopped by Mark but it was fun getting caught up on your build. Nice work as always. cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Thank you Tim! The tub and some of the other bulkheads and related parts finally received some paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I fabricated the front sway bar guides from brass and styrene and then after machining the bolts and washers I lost one of the guides. I wasn't in the mood to make the same exact part again, so I machined a different style of new (beefier) guides and used the aluminum hardware on them. (I did not find the missing part yet…) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absmiami Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I know where the missing guide is .... it’s in a dusty corner on the floor under your work bench ... next to two or three parts that you lost last year ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Thanks Andrew. I permanently installed the rear bulkhead and engine mount cross-member and just had to test fit the block and trans… Figured I'd do the rear sway bar while I was working on the front one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 I made the rear hanger brackets for the exhaust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Since it's for the street I started making a crossflow muffler. It would still be loud, but at least not straight-pipe loud. Inlet and outlets are brass tubing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 This is the main muffler bracket/mount. Hand formed sheet aluminum. And with the mounting hardware… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absmiami Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Just make sure that you don’t install it upside down when you put this together! I’ve been known to do this when I try to work past midnite ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 I started working on the oil coolers, but decided to machine the sandwich block and a couple fittings first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks Guys!!! The kit oil coolers were reworked and had some details added including some machined aluminum items and custom decals. They will be mostly hidden behind the radiator when done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thanks guys! The timing tab marks are a custom made decal. The muffler was done with vinyl I cut and painted over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
