Mooneyzs Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Tim.... I am thoroughly Impressed with these brakes and love seeing the set up of your parts. Super Impressive my Friend. I look forward to your next update.
Codi Posted September 23, 2021 Author Posted September 23, 2021 Thank you Chris...... Rear brakes are done. Photos aren't the best as I couldn't get the camera to focus that great. Too many fins for the camera to focus on......1st pic is of an Airheart brake that I was trying to mimic. On Dyno Don's Pinto I believe. 1
comp1839 Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Tim, i'm always blown away by how far you have taken your machining talents!!!! your work is extraordinary!!!!!!
OldNYJim Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Absolutely beautiful - these tiny parts are like jewelry! I'd be really proud to make anything that intricate and well-done!
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Pure jewelery. Another mind blowing update.
Ian McLaren Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Looking at the rear end as a whole (which is outstanding ) I was struck by the fasteners. Are they fabricated by you or sourced?
mustang1989 Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Haven't been here in a while and regret it. What a beauty this is turning out to be Tim. Good LORD man!! You and Francis are just tearing it up pal.
AmericanMuscleFan Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 You'll need a jewelry box to store this! ?

GoatGuy Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Tim, it's always great to see what you've done. That rear and brakes are (no words are adequate)...... Dave
Codi Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 I've been away too long. After the rear brakes I was helping my daughter with a school project and blew my back out. It's slowly coming around. This 65 year old thing just sucks. Eyes, now this. Anyways THANKS to all that continue to follow and I promise to be back at it right after the holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! Tim
cobraman Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 You are one very talented guy. Your work is truly impressive .
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Yup I agree with the age thing. I'm 69 and frequently find my limitations. When I have that happen I have to remind myself I'm not 18 any more. Always enjoy following this great project. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

It's been a while since I've been on here myself and saw this here. Hope that you are doing well and that you had a good Thanksgiving. Looking forward to more on this great project of yours.
Codi Posted December 5, 2021 Author Posted December 5, 2021 Hi Everyone, Wanted to share pics of progress in this post but sadly still dealing with my stupid back. Next step might be an MRI and some minor surgery..........if this week coming isn't better. But to everyone again that keeps checking in for progress on the build and for your kind sentiments, THANK YOU. Cheers, Tim

If we're not over here, drooling over your work, we have more time to drool on our own!?
charlie libby Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 hi tim hope your back is getting better. hope you get it cleared up for the holidays.charlie
charlie libby Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 just here to check on you .we old people have to check up on each other. i hope you are doing better.
Codi Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 Morning Charlie, Thanks for the note. Things are much better and I finally sat down at my desk to continue finishing the chassis drawings. Serviced my machines and have ordered some brass too............again, thanks! Tim
bobthehobbyguy Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Glad to see you're feelimg better and back on the bench.
AmericanMuscleFan Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Health has never been so much in the news and I'm glad to hear that you are doing well Tim! I can't wait to see the first photos of this brass frame, definitely more wonder in store! ? I myself will have some maintenance to do on my equipment before a new project as there is too much play in the handwheels...
Codi Posted February 24, 2022 Author Posted February 24, 2022 Surprise surprise....5 months later....I FINALLY sat down and made something. It's a modest post but I got the spindles done. The first pic is of a Strange Engineering spindle that was popular in the day that I did my best to replicate. Going to tackle the upper and lower A-arms next in brass. Once I have these bits together I'm moving onto the chassis finally. Thanks once more to all of you that have followed along and with your patience. Most appreciated, Tim
