I have wired my first ever engine! *PICS*

[Billy Kingsley]

With special thanks to Ray Buck, here it is. My very first ever attempt at wiring an engine! I printed out one of the diograms Ray sent me and went to work. I used a Parts by Parks PreWired distributer and a tiny drill I found in my parts box, I think made by Exacto or Testors.

The engine in my Revell-Monogram 57 Nomad became my test car, and it turned out really nicely I think. It's not done in these pictures, but it should be completion #202 tomorrow.

I didn't know where to put the coil, or what to do with the left over cord, so I improvised. The fact that it's a custom let me do that with no worrys.

Here's a bonus shot of the Nomad, taken before Clearcoat

Nice job Billy!

I may be wrong but isn't #1 and #3 wire swapped?

That looks great Billy!8) Your Nomad ain't too shabby either!

I better get going with these projects lest I need to "Pass the Torch" soon!:wink:

Thanks guys! Jairus, no they are not, they are just bent. When I post the completed one in a few days you will see it better...Things are flexible and I didn't notice that until it was posted already.

Was a joke Billy...

Nice wiring job!

Billy, the wiring looks good and so does the engine. That Nomad is going to be a sharp looking build.
