finally got a little something done on this project, geez! 3 months and still don't have the engine done! I hope the rest of this build goes a little quicker! lol got the scatter shield and block plate made, added some hex styrene for the bolts. I milled the inside out to help lighten it up.IMG_1252-vi.jpgIMG_1253-vi.jpg

I got the distributor and wires installed, and the bell housing attached as well. and I did wire it in the correct firing orderIMG_1256-vi.jpgIMG_1258-vi.jpgIMG_1259-vi.jpgIMG_1261-vi.jpg

Hi Bill, You call that progress?????, TWO PICTURES!!!!!!

O'kay, works for me :D :D :D You build the sweetest looking parts! That heat staining is awesome. How did you do that?

Hang in there my friend, it is not fast but it sure is some of the best stuff on this forum .

thank you Randy really means alot my friend, I used Alclad on the headers, they have stuff made just for this, the perfect colors, I didn't want to get to carried away, tried to keep it subtle.

Styrene??? Really? This engine has got to be one of the most... beautiful scale replicas that I have ever seen and the thought that you're incorporating styrene in the build with all of that machined billet just boggles my mind. Please, don't take offense...I don't have the skills or equipment to produce such a work of art but I wonder why you chose to use styrene hex stock for bellhousing hardware. Did you consider using appropriately sized hex screw heads but decide against that for any reason or did you go with styrene to expedite the build?

Looking Great, Bill! This really is one of the best builds on this forum. That heat staining looks very realistic to me, it's just perfect. Good to hear that you have correct firing order, otherwise it wouldn't work so nicely when you get everything mounted and all liquids like water and oils inside the engine. :lol: :lol:

Every update this thing gets more and more impressive... which is saying something considering the very first post of the rough engine was jaw dropping. But this lastest update.... mother of GOD! This honestly just isnt fair. To hell with it. I quit LOL.

I'm sworn to secrecy, but let me say that when I saw Bill's latest piece I thought, you gotta be kidding me.

It's outrageous !

My new catch phrase: Bill is not Real

Dave, Loius, really appreciate it!
