Scale-Master Posted December 28, 2020 Author Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks Ray! I made the first sections of the exhaust pipes, brass, styrene rod and pliable tubing. 1
Beamerman Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) i can´t stop looking at this. Outstanding as others say. i´m done. ? Edited December 29, 2020 by Beamerman
HotRodaSaurus Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 A fantastic build, so many hand made parts make me envious.? I built one box stock when the rerelease came out minus all the motors and lighting. One thing puzzles me? Why was the gearbox gear change rod left out, it's not exactly attached to the eliminated electrical parts.
Scale-Master Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 Thanks guys. I'm not sure what you're referring to as the gearbox change rod John. The shifter linkage is included in the kit.
Scale-Master Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 I spent some CAD time this week designing the brake master cylinder. The clutch master cylinder. The clutch slave cylinder. And the J-56 Corvette adjustable proportioning valve & bracket. Full assembly. 1
Scale-Master Posted January 12, 2021 Author Posted January 12, 2021 For some reason the proportioning valve would not print/grow with the rest of the layout. I tried to print it separately but the printer stopped reading all files, so I made one from scratch the old fashioned way while I try to figure out what the problem is. 1
Scale-Master Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 These are the masters I pulled a mold off for the brake and clutch parts. I broke the little bracket extricating it from the RTV, no problem; it will be more resilient as a cast part. 1
Scale-Master Posted January 14, 2021 Author Posted January 14, 2021 I got the printer working again and made the original proportioning valve I did in 3D. (I guess it's like losing a part in the carpet; make a new one and you find the original…) 1
Scale-Master Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 The cap for the clutch master was made with the other parts, it grew well and even cast nicely, but it didn't look right. So I milled a new one. 1
Scale-Master Posted January 22, 2021 Author Posted January 22, 2021 Finished clutch slave cylinder, installed. 1
IanH Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Amazing work! I noticed that you mentioned that you produce some of these parts for sale... Do you have a website or something?
lordairgtar Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I just got done reading this over two days. Totally amazing work.
Reeves Racing Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 When I grow up I want to be as cool as you Mark.
Scale-Master Posted February 3, 2021 Author Posted February 3, 2021 Thanks guys!! Some of the 3D parts will be offered through Fraxional after the car is finished. The master cylinder assembly with J56 proportioning valve & bracket and cap w/gasket. Working cap clamps too… (overkill?). The bleeders and front line fitting will be added later. 1
Scale-Master Posted May 3, 2021 Author Posted May 3, 2021 I reworked the way the mirrors mount to the car. The tabs were kind of clunky (and the blue plastic is proving to be very brittle). [img]https://i.imgur.com/n9BnOtZ.jpg[/img] I cut off the tabs and made new ones and receivers in the fenders out of brass.

peteski Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 The latest forum software update doesn't accept the BBS codes for images generated from online photo sites. But it happily accepts the image's URL after stripping the [IMG][/IMG] tags. Which is what I did here. I simply took the URLs from Mark's post and pasted them in this post.
Scale-Master Posted May 3, 2021 Author Posted May 3, 2021 Thank you Mitch and Peter. I'll go back and edit the previous posts and see if I can make it work there too.
Scale-Master Posted May 3, 2021 Author Posted May 3, 2021 Not having much luck on that... The forward bulkhead was not a very good fit. I didn't realize how much of an issue it would be when I first installed it so I had to disassemble the oil coolers and do some additional fitting and filling so the body sections would continue to align properly. https://i.imgur.com/FfZP4NG.jpg 1
Scale-Master Posted May 5, 2021 Author Posted May 5, 2021 To commemorate the two year anniversary of the start of this project I made this filler cap. Machined and hand finished aluminum fitted to a brass mounting tube. https://i.imgur.com/6G67h1Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OxLyWlC.jpg 1
