Ace-Garageguy Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Damm Randy...that engine is some kinda nice. Makes me want to go work on my real one.
1930fordpickup Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Randy maybe just put this in a sand-rail so everyone can drool over your fine work. This is awesome by the way.

iamsuperdan Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Not sure how I missed this thread. Holy moly. That is some next level building right there.
Mattilacken Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 That Engines is amazing!! The detail you have there is insane! Not anything for my adhd case to work with! Haha
Pete J. Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Randy, I don't know how I missed this one! Great build. Spent too many hours under the bonnet of my 74 911 so I am intimately familiar with this engine. Superb detail! Another masterpiece from your bench.
majel Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Fantastic job so far!! Your level of detail and weathering on that engine is superb! That is definitely a model in and of itself. Where do you get your nuts and bolts from?
TransAmMike Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Missed this as well, Engine is incredible!!!!!
BDSchindler Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Oh boy! Randy's back at the bench! Edited September 15, 2020 by BDSchindler
Randy D Posted September 25, 2020 Author Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) To all those that replied , I thank you very much !!!!!!! This is a special update to me as it shows off a really cool part. After posting this thread I was contacted by a good friend of mine who just happens to be a true master of miniature machining who posts his 1/25th scale work in the Drag section. This gentleman pointed out that one of the pics of the 1/1 showed an aftermarket muffler that appeared to be made of titanium with some cool heat staining. He just happened to have some titanium stock on hand and he asked if I would like him to mill me one to use in this build. I, not being a complete fool, of course agreed to this most generous offer !!!!!! He asked only that I not mention his name here. After some back and forth concerning size and his purchasing tooling needed for this project I received a package from Pennsylvania. He even heat stained it using a small torch. That is all for now, Randy Edited September 25, 2020 by Randy D

Made up a new fan shroud band out of brass and a couple of nuts/bolts... Next up is the coil, Pro tecs piece with some detail added... Awesome build on that engine

Great update Randy, the muffler is gorgeous and I'm pretty sure about the donor but I'll keep my lips tight. You deserve that superb gift, this Porsche engine is simply out of this world! Hope you will find more bench time in the next weeks or months... your builds are so inspiring sir!!!
mikemopar70 Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Wow!! Most detailed Porsche engine I've ever seen, it's awesome!!!
Randy D Posted September 30, 2020 Author Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Folks, Dave, Thank you ! Francis, Appreciate you following along:) It is JC ! Thank you Ray. Glad you like Jim. Thanks Dann!! Michel, thanks for commenting. In keeping with the "hot rod" theme, i am working on some headers that would look good with that awesome muffler.... Thanks for looking ! Randy Quote
crazyjim Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 I can't believe my eyes. Wonderful craftsmanship.
absmiami Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Yup questions - the exhausts are copper - right ? What are the dimensions ? Looks like .080? weld seams - made with nickel silver Wire ? and the fuel lines - nickel ? Dimensions - .012 ?? ??
Belugawrx Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Great to see you back at this Randy, with your usual level of exceptional detail work !!
