vintagedragfan Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 then is the kit gonna be able to hold the weight without it collapsing? hey Jake, I am planning on trying to make the chassis and suspension out of brass (hopefully) we will see how it goes, its really not that heavy, thanks for the interest!

MicroNitro Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Great work! How did I not see this sooner.
dirtracer2448 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Why not do a belt driven distributor? Awesome work so far!
vintagedragfan Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Great work! How did I not see this sooner. Why not do a belt driven distributor? Awesome work so far! thank you Jim! thats means alot coming from such a talented machinist as your self, and you did see it sooner when I asked you about the scale of your wheels I have, lol thats a good idea Tyler, but I'm going to have so much stuff on the front of this engine all ready I figured I would just use a traditional MSD type distibutor, thanks for looking in
Randy D Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Hi Bill, Just awesome work!!! Look forward to each update Randy
Sixx Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I just looked at this thread.......................WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice work!!!!!
mnwildpunk Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 A------huh-----what the----, how m--,w-w-w-o-w I'm speechless I guess is the jist of this message
vintagedragfan Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 thanks alot fella's, been putting off making the other header and turbo,because I know its gonna be a pain to try and match the one made, I have to be in the right frame of mind I guess, need to make the throttle body too, thanks for checkin in on it!
JunkPile Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 You may have to ask your wife for some help with the other header and turbo. She is a good model builder and has the trophys to show for it.
mopar68 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Thirteen pages, thirteen broken teeth from my jaw hitting the floor! In my opinion, that mere styrene kit does not deserve to hold the masterpiece you have created. If you do put it in there though, I don't wanna see a hood covering up that beauty unless it's see-through!
bryan_m Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 you bet bill! its only like a 8 or 900 mile drive! ok, lets see some more mindbending progress buddy cheers bryan
vintagedragfan Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 SICK !!!!!!!! You may have to ask your wife for some help with the other header and turbo.

I am thinking I might have the whole front clip removable, not sure yet Bryan thats nothing, just drive about 850 MPH and it wont take but an hour and a half! lol
bryan_m Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 well, i could always just buy a new airplane......hopefully you live close to an airport, if not i can just land in a field or on the highway! LOL cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 oh yea, i agree with the removable front clip idea! you have to.... dont wanna hide that thing, its too dang nice! bryan
MicroNitro Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 absolutley beautiful BIll!!! like i said, when i get my mill n my lathe, im coming over to your house for lessons! LOL keep it goin cheers bryan Were do you live I could sure use help in the shop.

LOL keep it goin cheers bryan You have to wait until I have had the chance to meet up with him. Living just a hour or so away, I haven't had the opportunity to spend time with Bill to have him show me the ropes just yet. I'm afraid if to many people do this Bill will start charging for lessons!
outlaw105 Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Great work!, I wish i found this thread a little earlier!

gasser59 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I just found this thread and I can't figure out how I missed it. After reading and drooling over thirteen educational pages, I need to go take a serious nap. My head hurts and the bottom of my jaw is raw from hitting my desk. Truly magnificent work Bill. Now I'm expecting a removable front clip and no paint anywhere up front. Thanks for posting your detailed progress, bro!!
Art Laski Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Bill, I'm continuing to be amazed. What an engine!! -Art
