afx Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 That pump is very impressive Tim as is all your work.
Scott Colmer Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Oh my god. That dry sump pump is amazing! I'm super impressed.
STYRENE-SURFER Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Tim... Where did you get that giant pair of tweezers to hold that full size oil sump pump?
allford Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 What a SUPER job just to nice to hide in down in the car.
Codi Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 I want to be respectful of those that have left a comment.. Cheers to all, tim JC, Mark, Scott, Iborg and Ray.........thank you as always. I've appreciated your interest in my builds since the Bantam. Hope you like the rest. Francis....the pump gave me a real taste of the challenge what the carbs will be like. thanks too. Kurt, I got the giant tweezers at the giant tweezer store of course. ? Ray, thanks for the thought, the engine though won't be in the car. I'm going to fab an engine stand for it.
mustang1989 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Spankin' it dude!!! One of these days I'm gonna have to get all the tools and the know how to do this kind of stuff. Just adds a whole new world of realism.
Codi Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 Appreciated Joe & Carl. Bench time hard to come by as I'm now a substitute teacher......but I had to get something done. So I finished detailing the water pump. Put the pump snout pulley bracket on, machined and attached the fuel pump housing & machined a red cap for the water pump pipe. The pump is not attached to the block or pan as of yet as an fyi....cheers, tim 1
iBorg Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 If this was CNC, I'd be impressed with your drafting abilities and your skill converting those drawings to code. Knowing you do this freehand, I'm simply in awe. I think I have most of the tools although I have Sherline and I think you've got a variation of a Sieg but I don't pretend to think I'll ever perfect your talent.
comp1839 Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 ...and the amazement continues............beautiful work Tim!!
AmericanMuscleFan Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 No matter the time left for the bench you will always find a way to surprise us with your tremendous talent to transform these raw pieces of metal to jewels! Super job on the engine so far Tim!!! Take care, Francis
OldNYJim Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Stunning! What material did you use for the red cap?
1930fordpickup Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Tim this is stunning. They made the Autolite In - Line Carbs at my dads Plant. He worked on a lathe right down the walk way from the white metal furnaces for 30 years. They also did Starters and Alternators and many other parts there.
Codi Posted March 23, 2020 Author Posted March 23, 2020 Greatly appreciated iBorg......I wish I had the knowledge/skills to do CNC but......all of my equipment is Sherline too btw. cheers Thanks as always Dave. Learned most of it from you. Thanks Francis.....you crank out an entire block and I'm foolin' around with this thing. sheesh....... CabDriver, I did it out of aluminum and machined it on the lathe. Painted it Testor's Guards Red. I love that color. Andy, that's a cool story..........they ARE unusual and to my eye very trick looking. I think they'll truly set the engine off if I can figure out how to make them. They'll be tricky. Cheers everyone, Tim
2zwudz Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Holy smokes!!! Edited March 23, 2020 by 2zwudz
Belugawrx Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 You never cease to amaze me with your machining skills on this Tim ! Great to see your updates,... Be well my friend Cheers
mustang1989 Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Keep 'er comin Tim. Blowin' minds all the way.....
Magic Photos Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Tim your detail work is just AMAZING Thank You so much for sharing these great builds
Pete J. Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Tim, always love to see your work and how you did it. The diagram was very helpful. My health has kept me at bay, but hopefully one more trip under the knife next week and we can get back to making some chips fly. Thanks for keeping me occupied in the meantime!
Codi Posted March 27, 2020 Author Posted March 27, 2020 Thanks Mark. Bruce, Thanks too......the progress slowed down obviously but in the near future I'm onto the body and designing the chassis. This will NOT be a one year build as hoped. Joe, appreciate your comments coming from someone that shares my interest in Mavericks. Mike (Magic Photos) appreciate your stopping by and the comment. I'm enjoying it but I wish had more bench time. (don't we all) cheers Pete, sorry to hear what's been going on. Obviously something fairly serious. I wish you the very best and a quick return to the bench. I miss you posts and the tips you share in how you do things. You have a lot to offer all of us. Take care, Tim
GoatGuy Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Superb work as always Tim. But i think I see some 1/25 scale fingerprints on it.....ha
Codi Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 Dave & Scott......appreciate the sentiments and YES Dave, I saw those 2. I'll be sure to get em' off when I do final assembly of it. Heads are done and I did a quick mock-up (nothing is glued yet). Next I'll detail the valve covers, the block and oil pan. I've yet to make the distributor & coil but next on the fabrication list are the Auto-lite carbs then I'll do the manifold. cheers everyone, tim BEFORE I FORGET......Thank you to my friend Dave(comp1839) for the dimensions/detail he shared for me to tackle the heads and valve covers. Made it a lot easier to say the least. Cheers Dave!!
