midengineaddict Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) This is my new project, a rig rod with big cubic inch... inspired by this 820 c.i. ford hemi sedan,I will try to build the same intake from brass and chrome plate it. On top of it will be 8 injection funnels The starting point... the parts collection... Edited January 26, 2014 by midengineaddict
midengineaddict Posted May 27, 2012 Author Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I will post my list of parts sources later but take note that this project will be done with the special collaboration of Jim at http://www.micronitro.net/ I'll wait to have all parts I need to start this project especially the parts from micro Nitro, RB motion and the new but not available yet 1:16 Photoetch parts from futurattraction http://www.modelcars...opic=54719&st=0 Thanks for looking Edited May 27, 2012 by midengineaddict
eviltwincustoms Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 What LUC.... where is the pic of the truck with the MONSTER POWER PLANT? I figured you would have at least had a Play shot with the 1/8 scale blown motor in it... Man you have a lot of parts sitting next to your truck build... Just think, you have only just started to break the surface on the scale nuts and bolts you will be needing from Scale Hardware and RB Motion! LOL.... I would cringe to think what I have just for my Camaro build... Thank goodness I didn't add up what I have spent on the project either, because I would be very depressed... LOL
midengineaddict Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) thanks baddgass and Henry, Bart... for the 1:8 play shot, I will do for sure, but when the project will have more work on it (fire wall removed for example ) And for the parts, I went into many projects before having all the parts, and for this one, I really want to have every part before building the frame to be sure every thing is in the best place and in the good size... Any ways, I'm not in a hurry, I have another truck to go to work... Edited June 12, 2012 by midengineaddict
AzTom Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I'll be watching this one. I have most of the HW61 trucks and the IH is my favorite. AzTom
midengineaddict Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) My engine will be made with the spécial participation of Jim littiken, I think everybody knows I'm but here is his site address http://www.micronitro.net/ Jim can make custom parts and he understands what you want but these parts are pieces of art a take a lot of time to build so you can expect them to be a bit expensive but they worth every dollar they cost and even more. Hoosierminiatures@gmail.com I will start this project when my motor will be shipped back to me from micro nitro (it can take a month) I will have to be patient for this one. I Have a picture of my valves covers, it will be a V10 with 2 cam shaft in each head drove by uncoverd pulleys. Thats a source of inspiration for this project Edited June 13, 2012 by midengineaddict
Mr.1/16th Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
midengineaddict Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I recieve 10 of these stack from R.B. motionhttp://www.rbmotion....ity_stacks.html I know they are big but I measured them before I started my project and they are the reason why uses a 1:12 block. I cant wait to begin put together my motor... Edited April 2, 2013 by midengineaddict
midengineaddict Posted June 23, 2012 Author Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Some progress of the motor from micro nitro... look very good. I Can't wait to see the V10 magneto he will make, I'm sure it will be a piece of art. Edited June 24, 2012 by midengineaddict
semijoe Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 my god this is going to be an intense build. awesome start
eviltwincustoms Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 LUC, you are going to have some insane money in this project! That block is looking pretty cool.
Chuck Most Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Big scale... diecast... and it's an INTERNATIONAL! This thing is guaranteed to be sweet.
midengineaddict Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) I just receive some parts from http://www.kitformservices.com/metal.html the exhaust pipes are awesome and the small parts are supposed to be air valves but will become break or fuel device. http://www.kitformservices.com/metal/VALVES_T.jpg http://www.kitformservices.com/metal/al25.jpg but in polished aluminium http://www.kitformservices.com/metal/AL472.jpg Edited March 15, 2013 by midengineaddict
midengineaddict Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 I think that I have enough parts to start the project so... this is brass day...
GoatGuy Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I agree with semijoe, this is intense. Please chop the top. Looking forward to more. Reminds me a little of an Intl Harvester pickup I saw in RatRod magazine built by Kevin Biggs. He calls it The Binder.
midengineaddict Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) GoatGuy, thanks for the good comment, if you have a link or a picture of THE BINDER, post it in my topic, I will be happy to see it. thanks for your comment Bennyg. Some update on my work on the bed... Edited March 25, 2013 by midengineaddict
stump Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 GREAT work in this garage.....LOVE'it man. The "tin work" on the tray looks fantastic.
GoatGuy Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I could only find this short video. There was no picture of the pickup on the RatRod magazine website. The magazine says "He built an abomination known as the Binder...........a 1935 International Harvester C35 nightmare."
