Custom Hearse Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 Take yer time Marshall. Gives us all more time to play with ours, instead of lookin' at yours Funniest thing , been havin' trouble with my Fotki, not being able to post up pics 'n @, so what do I do? I goes back to the bench and gets busy! So, yeah, take yer time.........but HURRY UP! Don't rush me Cap'n!!!! :lol: :lol: Sorry to hear about your Fotki album. I use Potobucket. There's been only 1 time I've had a problem with it, and that was when some NoNads had hacked into the system, and knocked out Photobucket for a couple of weeks. Hope you get it fixed soon, I like seeing your work! NICE on the 12 cylinder Hemi Here's one I did a few years back with a Jimmy 18-71 blower. I used 10 cylinder Viper exhaust and added one xtra "Leg" to each side. dave Ah!!!! So you're the the person I need to give credit to!!!! It was your build that inspired this build. I saw that car in a magazine a while back, and thought it would be cool to build something like it. When my friend Jim gave me this kit, the first thing I thought of was your build, and how cool it was! so here is the inspiration of your work Dave.... SCARY? ISN"T IT!!!! Thanks Dave!
Custom Hearse Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 P.S., Ya wanna race for titles when I'm done Dave? :lol:
Custom Hearse Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 I'm using a 4 speed trans from the Revell '67 pro street kit. here's a few pics of it.... The engine and trans before separation.... Separated and cleaned up.... Attached and ready to paint.... I'll have another update later tonight!
Custom Hearse Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 Did some work on the rear fenders tonight. I used some Evercoat 2 part polyester putty on them to mold them in. Here's some pics.... Still need to add some more putty, then smooth it out completely, but it's looking better.
CB Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Lookin' good Marshall. It's comin' along. Can't wait to see dat HEMI coming together
Custom Hearse Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks Cap'n. I'll be working on it tonight. I'll have some pics posted later.
Custom Hearse Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 I'm starting to get the engine together. I first had to scratchbuild some motor mounts for the car. Here's a couple of pics.... With the motor mounts attached, I painted the engine yellow, attached the valve covers, painted them black, and added 3- 4 barrel carbs to the supercharger.... More updates soon....
CB Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 ah! Finally! that HEMI is lookin' GOOD! Love the colors, especially the black on the valve covers . NOW....can't wait to see it with headers !! Starting to look like a 'Monster-Mer-Rod'
Custom Hearse Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks Cap'n. I'll be working on it some later. My days off have ended, so it's back to the old grind stone again....
prostreeter69 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Hey Marshall Crazy build you got going there, what's the chances of it being ready for our show in North Little Rock on the 25th? Hopefully you are planning on making the trip. Jon

Custom Hearse Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 I seriously doubt it'll be ready Jon. Plus the fact I have to work on Saturdays doesn't help either Thanks for asking though. If you happen to have plans in advance for another one later in the year, give me a shout about a month in advance so i can ask for the day off, and I'll come on down. Thanks for the compliment on this build!
Custom Hearse Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 I decided to remove the valve covers that were on the engine, and scratchbuild a set for it. This is the first part of it. The base of the valve covers.... More to come....
Custom Hearse Posted April 14, 2009 Author Posted April 14, 2009 Well.... Almost. I just need to drill some holes in the top of them for the wires. here's the pics.... More soon.
Custom Hearse Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 After looking at the pics and the valve covers, I've decided to re-do the tops. I'll have new pics tonight.
Custom Hearse Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 I scratchbuilt the valve covers last night, but they didn't come out as well as i had hoped, so I re-did them tonight. I was wanting to get a good arch on the tops, and I think they came out much better the second time. Each valve cover has 7 separate pieces. Here's the new and improved parts.... More updates later tonight.
Custom Hearse Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Thought I'd have a little fun with this build, so I scratchbuilt an intake scoop for it. Here's the pics.... It looks pretty good on the engine I think. It'll go through the hood, Which I have an idea I want to try on it. I'll have another update later tonight....
Custom Hearse Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Here's some pics of the scoop on the engine....

Custom Hearse Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Yup.... That where i saw it at! Unfortunately, my copy is water damaged.... I couldn't stop drooling all over the picture!!!! Thanks for the compliment, and hopefully I'll get this thing done before I kick the bucket!
CB Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 ah yes Marshall! looking most excellente! I was likin' those hemi valve covers, but these scratched ones give it a much more massive, powerfull look, and then ya tops it off with that scratched up scoop! This thing is comin' along like toadually awesomes! Can't wait to see what you come up with fer headers
CFnutcase Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Looking good Marshall, but with that much engine and those tires, that frame sure is looking weak! You are gonna have to be carefull when you get on it, its gonna get all twisted up and put you in a wall! LOL Jim

I injured my hand day before yesterday, and now I can barely type. Thanks for your support with this build, and hopefully I'll be able to get back to it soon. Looking good Marshall, but with that much engine and those tires, that frame sure is looking weak! You are gonna have to be carefull when you get on it, its gonna get all twisted up and put you in a wall! LOL Jim Too late.... (see above)
plasticbutcher Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 This just looks better and better, the valve covers look a lot more "right" on that engine, and you'r scoop looks better than mine, keep up the great work Marshall And stop hurtin you'rself,
Custom Hearse Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 Thanks Rick.... I'll be back at it soon.
