Straightliner59 Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 There are several modelers here, whose work I go to look at, when I need a reality check. You're one of those guys.

absmiami Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 love those wing nuts - weber are going to look great
charlie libby Posted February 21, 2023 Author Posted February 21, 2023 got a little more done on the webers and machined the head to match the intake. i have several more days on the carburator,linkage and brackets. i also have the water lines to do on the intake. 2
Straightliner59 Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Those Webers are gorgeous! All your work is, but those Webers!
Pierre Rivard Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 First time I risk commenting on your work Charlie. The reason is that what you create is in a totally different league vs. the basic styrene models I make. You fabricate real parts from noble materials and assemble them like a real car. This is beyond impressive, it is magical. Thank you for sharing your methods. Pure joy to follow.
charlie libby Posted February 27, 2023 Author Posted February 27, 2023 hi daniel thanks for the kind words. hi pierre thanks for looking and taking the time to comment. its always nice to hear from new people .got a little more done on the webers. still need to make the carb linkage and the water line for the intake manifold. have drilled and taped the head to bolt the intake and exhaust on. 00-90 bolts for both. when they are finished i will go back to the flywheel and triple disc clutch. 1
lucky 130 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Oh no! Not another piece of art calling it'self a model. The amount of detail, metal work, is unbelievable. WOW, and every other thing I can say. I do have one question, what weight oil and brand are you going to use?

absmiami Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 The air box - used often but not always by the factory …. If Charles makes an air box he gets to show off his fabri skills - but then loses some of the detail features on his Webers - to ponder over a beverage … 1
