dimebolt Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I think it's art in metal, pure and simple. If only there would be a way of getting engines like this into the after market, how sweet would that be. Your skills are of the highest level. For sure!
jonno356SC Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 LOVE THIS!!! Are youy using CNC or doing manually?
Pat Minarick Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I Don't think I could ever hid that in a car ! I would leave it on the stand and just look at it!
jonno356SC Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Sorry, I ready thru and got my answer. Incredible work. How did you know how to do this? Do you have engineering skills? I would love to know how someone who has never milled before (great machine btw: full-size ta boot) can get these results? How did you plan the pieces? THANKS
Snakebite Customs Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I have a had enuff time just assembling kit engines lol. This is just amazing work.WOW keep it up
Platerpants Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 in the time its taken you to build this engine ive built like 5 kits or so. Your doing awesome though show us what a chrysler engine looks like for real.

THANKS Jon, this is something I have wanted to do pretty much sense I was a kid, dreaming of aluminum parts for my models, I just decided to give it a try, I don't have any engineering skills, I am just using the kit parts as a reference to size and shape, and some imagination, I can see it my head what I want ti to look like, so I try and get as close to that as I can, thanks for the interest!
jonno356SC Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 It's amazing. Really and truly. May I ask how long you have been building/how old you are? I'm in my mid 40s and wonder if I can ever get to this level. I want to so badly.

Jantrix Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Bill, you are really gonna have to knock the rest of that model out of the park to make it worthy of that engine.
