Crazy Ed Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Clean and well done. Plus like you said "Fun Build". I like It! Ed
Greg Cullinan Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 You have all the cool ideas , what is the bottle between lights and radiator? (drivers side)
Dr. Cranky Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Fabulous. I love all the little details. Lots of love and attention poured into this one. Great job.
highway Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 You have all the cool ideas , what is the bottle between lights and radiator? (drivers side) That is a cool idea!! I'd guess maybe the bottle is an overflow bottle for the radiator. I want to know about the oil filter setup, though! Is the oil system one system for both engines??
charlzrocks Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Now I love just about anything twin engined....but this is just toooo cooool!! The color is right on, the details are great and the stance rocks! Kudos!!
Geezerman Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 That is a cool idea!! I'd guess maybe the bottle is an overflow bottle for the radiator. I want to know about the oil filter setup, though! Is the oil system one system for both engines?? Yes, That bottle is an overflow. It's from the '28 Lincoln "Gangbusters" kit. There's a whole sprue of them. Oil....... c'mon, this is imagineering at work !!!! I did not recast or re-machine any of the inside of the plastic engine halves. This is merely a piece of copper wire to show a little continuity. I can imagine that both of the engines share a common oil filter. Anal accuracy is not my forte'. I really don't care if I insult the laws of physics either. This constitutes the 'fun' in my modeling.

I though maybe you had them connected, since I only seen the one filter.
Geezerman Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 Wow, I dunno for sure, Chuck. I thought they might be the small blocks that come with the older 32 three window coupes. Mostly because I had two of them in virgin condition. Maybe some one more knowledgeable can tell from these early in the build fotos of the blocks before I cobbled them up.
Geezerman Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 Thanks for the comps,everyone. I DO enjoy buggering stuff up!
george 53 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Yeah, Clay them'r Ford Big blocks, FE's ta be exact! Too Cool lookin, but then again, EVERYTHING out yer Garage there IS!!!!
Chuck Most Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 They kind of look like Revell engines to me- not sure of which kit, though.
george 53 Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Chuck, they LOOK like they might be outta the ThunderBolt kit.
RodneyBad Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 Very Cool looking Love the twin Engine set up.. That's one heck of a go getter Great work.
bigmikevee Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Geezerman, Don't know if it would run in the real world, don't care neither. I just know it is cool, and to me the cool is what makes life....and models.....well, cool. Enjoy your work, please make next one with THREE engines just to see what it looks like. Thanks for posting and making a cool ride!! Mike
Lyle Willits Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 This is just TOO (TWO) COOL, as is everything that comes out of your "garage".
Chuck Most Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Chuck, they LOOK like they might be outta the ThunderBolt kit. They do- but he must've cut down the oil pans, I think those had the deep-sump pans.
Geezerman Posted July 13, 2010 Author Posted July 13, 2010 Pretty sure I didn't modify the oil pans. No major surgery on blocks other than joining them. Thanks for the interest
horsepower Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Actually they appear to be the 427 engines from AMT's '32 Ford 'Vicky kit.
