Pro Tech Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Brad, engine is looking great. Very cool with the pulley bracket and those pop-off valves WOW, that's going above and beyond. Nice work Charlie Pro Tech
gasser59 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks Chris and Charlie. Its encouragement from this forum that keeps me at it although I'm so busy with other things that I don't seem to get much bench time lately. Since my last post, I've wired up the plug wires and put a initial coat of primer on the Fiat. Stay tuned as I'll get this done.
TedsModeling Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Love the nut detail on the idler pulley bracket. Great build going on! I also admire the extra work on the suspension.
Rrrrrrumps Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Nice pics, what kind of camera and lens are you using to shoot your pictures. You've got an eye for detail.
John Teresi Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Brad.....looking great!.......will we be able to take a gander at this ......at the DSC? Edited March 28, 2012 by John Teresi
John Pol Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Really looking good what do you use for your fuel line connections ? John
vintagedragfan Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 yea Brad this willys is looking great! VERY nice work!
gasser59 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback and comments. The camera is a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS and by utilizing the macro feature I can make a postage stamp fill the whole frame and still be in focus. I love this camera. I have a whole lot of work for this to be finished for Desert Scale Classic next month and it will be a tight one to get it done along with my Fiat altered painted and decaled. The fuel line connections are the smallest threaded nuts from Scale Hardware, number THRN-05-N. They work quite well for this but are a bear to keep in the tweezers. I loose as many as I use. Stay tuned as I get back to the bench on this and thanks for following along.
vintagedragfan Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 man Brad I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who loses things out of my tweezers!! LOL gettin tired of crawling around looking for it??
gasser59 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 It took me awhile to learn to order twice as many as I think I'll need due to loosing them across the room. Plug wires and magneto are finally wired up. I shot some dull coat on the blower and the plumbing lines as they were too shiny to represent rubber. BTW - I use alot of different colors of wire from the local Orvis store that is intended for tying flies for fyfishing, which is another of my hobbies. There are so many choices in thickness and colors to choose from so if any of you are near an Orvis store, check them out. You can also order online at orvis.com. Other flyfishing specialty stores will have similar stuff as well.
Mooneyzs Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Brad... Looking good buddy. I can't wait to see it in person in a few weeks... I have shot my fair share of bolts across the table and onto the floor. Just the other day I lost two during my pedal build...lol
Romell R Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 man Brad I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who loses things out of my tweezers!! LOL gettin tired of crawling around looking for it?? Same here it got so bad at one time I had the wife crawling around looking for tiny parts that tend to disapear. I think gremlins run out and grab parts when they hit the floor because somethings hit the floor never to be found again.
gasser59 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) OK guys, I've finally pulled this one off the shelf and back on the work bench. I'd forgotten just how fiddly this one is. Stay tuned... Edited September 12, 2012 by gasser59
Mooneyzs Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Brad I am stoked to see you back on this build. Love what you did on your 23T. I know this will be a beauty just like that one.
90lowboy Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 JUST RIGHT!!! (need's a wild paint job,any ideas?)
vintagedragfan Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 it's about time Brad!! lol lets see some progress on this cool ride!
beeRS Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 This is gonna be a master piece. Can't wait to see more Brad - keep up the good work.
gasser59 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 I've gotten a bit done on this but, sad to say, my camera refuses to focus so its off to the shop for repairs. I'll see if I can't figure out how to get some updated pics posted.
Mooneyzs Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Hey Brad.... it's great to hear that you have gotten more progress done on this build. I can't wait to see these updates. Bummer on the Camera.
vintagedragfan Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 have you tried bouncing it off the nearest wall? thats probably what I would have done with it Brad
