Dr Cranky is right. Good stuff. Good progress.

Question- looks like the rotors are made from styrene? If so, how do you make a perfect circle out of styrene? A blade attached to a compass?

Dave.......I layed down a rear wheel inner on a sheet of styrene and traced around it.....cut it out and filed around the edge and drilled center hole and filed that also......then drilled all the little holes......thanks

Hello.....thank you all for your kind comments.......my good friend Art Laski gave me a spare drag engine with a couple of Chevy valve covers for this build......thanks Art..........I combined parts from his engine with the Corvette big block engine that I had.......I made a new injector.......and used "Pro Tech" pulleys........I made some brackets for the blower and made a front pulley plate........I drilled out the valve cover cap and put it further up front like the 1:1 car.......I re-shaped and drilled the headers......I noticed on my pictures a few things are out of scale......I will fix that.......thats the good thing about pictures ......it magnifies things ......so you can make changes if needed.......thanks for looking.
