eviltwincustoms Posted November 3, 2011 Author Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Randy, Niko and Jeff..... Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement. I really like how the bottle mount is coming out, just struggling a little bit with the cut outs on the very top bracket. The cut outs are so small that my miniature tools don't have much room to file anything down. My end result is to make it so the 3 T Handles are functional and will screw off to take the top bracket off. Thanks to Jim's (micronitro) talent, looks like I may be switching gears here soon and working either more on the engine block and tranny or rear end housing and get those Hubs/Rotors mounted up.

Mooneyzs Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Bart those parts are going to look awesome on your build. Man Jim does some great work doesnt he. I am still waiting for my hubs. Saw a finished pic of them and they look great. So i am very stoked to het them mocked up when I get them. I love that bell housing, very awesome!
MicroNitro Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks Bart and Chris, Chris I think it was Monday when I mailed your hubs. I made Bart's rotors out of graphite impregnated Teflon and it really looks like the carbon rotors used on the 1:1 cars. I have been having a blast making this stuff.

I bet they should get here today or tomorrow then. Those rotors look great made out of graphite impregnated teflon. I am planing on making some more drawings for you as well. Just need to find the time and i will send them.
MicroNitro Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Hi Bart, I got the wheels almost done what do you think?
eviltwincustoms Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 Jim!!!! That is frikin Awesome!! Can't wait to get them in my grubby little hands and begin working on that rear end housing and getting the hubs and wheels mounted.
Magic Photos Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 How much Jim? They look great as always. Mike
tyrone Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 those wheels are off the chain,can't wait to see them on your build...
doomcrew Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 bart, this is an awe inspiring build, looking forward to seeing this done. jim, those are fantastic looking wheels. i will be getting some wheels from you in the near future, hopefully you may add these, hint hint. :-)
Mooneyzs Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Jim and Bart... Those wheels are off the hook and are beautiful. I can't say enought about Jim's work and how great it is. I cant wait to see more on this build. You are doing great work on this.
Prostreet Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Dam, how did i miss the update, wheels look sick. Can't wait to get my stuff from Jim, No updates Bart?
eviltwincustoms Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 Wow... it has been some time since I have made any posts. Just got back from the Philippines for work and had Friday off, to get acclimated to the US time again. So I thought I would get back to work on my block. Here are a couple quick pics of where it sits today. I still have to surface the deck after inserting the cylinders it sort of warped the deck surface. My next project is to work on the Valley section then the bottom end for the crank mount then to the rear to get the back part made right to mount up the flywheel and bellhousing. Enough talk, here are the pics. lol.... Still need to trim the Bellhousing down and to the shape I want to look like a Trick Titanium Can.
outlaw105 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Engine looks great Bart!... What did you use for the bellhousing? it looks great also Edited December 10, 2011 by outlaw105

Mooneyzs Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Bart... that block is looking great. So is the transmission and bell housing that Jim machined for you. that is the TDR lenco right? i cant wait.to see your next update. so you going to.me.making pistons for this block??
outlaw105 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Engine looks great Bart!... What did you use for the bellhousing? it looks great also Nevermind I found out.... I went back a few pages
tyrone Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 that looks really good Bart, cant wait to see what's next...

Thanks Chris for the complement! yep the bellhousing is what Jim turned for me with the TDR with the front section, two middle sections and a reverse housing slid onto a 3/32" rod. Thanks to Comp1839 for some measurements, I have been able to scale down a block and get actual deck height. So the rod is where my crank shaft would actually be. You were reading my mind! My plan is to hit up Jim and see if he can turn me some pistons and a crankshaft! So we will see just how far this goes in hitting "Insanity"!
eviltwincustoms Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Outlaw105, Tyrone, Joe, Andy... Thanks guys for the complements it means a lot... I really need to spend more time working on my project, instead of admiring all the great projects by all of you! This forum is just BAD NEWS for me... I see great projects and want to incorporate different things from each on my project and I think that is what drives me insane... I know... I know... I should just build and finish and use the techniques for another build.. But I just can't get myself to do that. Outlaw105, you beat me to it, I was going to post but it looks like you found out. For others the Bellhousing is turned aluminum from Micronitro (jim). He did an awesome job and left the flange wide enough for me to cut it however I wanted.

So we will see just how far this goes in hitting "Insanity"! Bart dont stop at the crank and pistons... Do it all, throw some oil in it, plugs, fuel in the fuel cell....then FIRE IN THE HOLE
