MicroNitro Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I made some very small parts for futurattraction on the lathe. I wish I could still see as good as I did when I was young. It is hard looking though glasses and a magnifying glass at a spinning part on the lathe. I am sorry about the poor photo quality I am waiting for parts for the lens of my good camera.

MicroNitro Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Very nice Jim. What is that part that looks like a motocycle twist grip? Hi, Len that is a dry sump pump and drive pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Well those certainly are neat, but are not the polka dot bikinis I was expecting based on the shortened topic title displayed on the outside of the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 How about some kind of magnifier mounted on a swing-arm? That work is certainly top-notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Hey Ben and Len, I had Jim make these up so I can mold and cast them. They'll be available. Not sure exactly when yet. A bit more of an explanation... I wanted to add a more detail to the front of my 351C pro stock engine so had Jim make a new crank damper stub with separate dry sump drive pulley. I also had him make the water pump drive motor and pulley for the front of the water pump. I'm gonna try to design a PE bracket that will attach the WP motor to the WP. Also need to come up with a piece to mount the dry sump pump. I can't wait to get them and see what they look like in person!

MicroNitro Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 How about some kind of magnifier mounted on a swing-arm? That work is certainly top-notch. I want to go to Harbor Freight and get there magnifier mounted on a stand with LEDs around the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroNitro Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 what machine are ye using..and has it mill ability? I made these on a old Sherline we modified and made into CNC. We do have mills in the shop also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris coller Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Do you have plans on selling these to the public and do you have plans for any other "pro stock" items? Been looking for some parts to finish my drag car project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 What kinds of parts are you looking for Chris? I've got packages of parts that I've developed specifically for what I hope will eventually be a more or less complete Fairmont pro stocker. The thing I've tried to keep in mind is to make them as universal in their application as possible. I've got several pkgs that include some neat PE pieces. Some packages are resin Lenco 4-speed with PE "old style" flat Lenco levers and linkage rods, retrofit PE 4-link brackets and SS tubing for Revell pro sportsman kit that also fits my Fairmont (or vice-versa), Pro Mod 4-link PE set with link tubes, resin/PE strut front end that is very detailed (about 10 separate pieces per strut), drilled and undrilled rotor kits, narrowed and braced resin 9-inch rear end, "2x3 mandrel bent" rear frame rails with cross members, high detail Holley Dominator carbs with separate boosters, and 351C pro stock engine. If you want more specifics, or pics of stuff, feel free to e-mail me @ scott@futurattraction.com Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
