Hi Folks,

Glad you like it Jim:)

Thank you Mike !

As always, thank you for following along Bruce.

Andy...

copper rod   .062   slipped into brass collectors made from thin walled tubing(pic below)

weld seams are a p.e. product from Top Studio, the weld marks seemed a bit out of scale so I let the solder fill them a little.  I will scrape them after coloring to expose the top of the marks.

The fuel lines are  .007  ,the camera adds 10 lbs:)

 

Messed up the photos on the last update,  meant to show a ref. pic of headers.

The seams are very convincing 

what is you hand tool of choice to bend the pipes. And I assume that you anneal the metal first - have you found pliers that will bend the metal with only a limited amount of tool markings in the metal ? ?  I’m about do do something like this on my Lotus  ....

Hi Folks,

Thank you Greg !

Andy,  Look forward to your pipes:)

Tim,  Appreciate the comments my friend !!!   Folks,  if you have not been to the drag section lately you have to go see Tim's carbs coming to life, simply amazing.

Hello Francis,  Glad you are following Sir,  love to follow your progress in the drag section. Outstanding machine skills on display!

  Working on finishing the headers.  Thought hard about plating them in nickel but in the end went with painting them.

Im not quite done with blending in the heat staining/ lightly weathered look but this will give you an idea of where they are going...

Randy, every piece you make is a model in itself!  How could high precision enthusiasts not be drawn like magnets to your projects?  I guarantee you that I am... and I have a lot to learn from you sir!

Thank you for teaching us magic!!!

Wow that exhaust is freakin amazing.  I'm trying my first headers for my gasser '57 Chevy using aluminum wire 2mm and just not having much luck, Grrrrr.

That jig you have looks awesome.  Did you buy it or make it?

Hi Folks,

  Mike,  Hopefully you noticed the reply to Ralph above:)

Some progress....

Making up the engine suport/motor carrier parts.  I'm using ScaleHardware nuts/bolts so that I can remove the engine if needed.  Engine support is nickel stock...

Great job Randy.   The design, fabrication and engineering are top notch.   I really like the "delicacy" and accuracy of the latest bits you made.    Cheers, Tim
