vaughn Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Great detail for such a small item !! And all aluminum. Cool !!! Quote
crazyjim Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Hey Bill - those Grizzly guys have a vendors table at the IPMS convention. There was nobody there to day though. Quote
Kyle Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I just got into milling and I have to say that you are making that look a lot easier than it actually is. The motor looks great. Just wondering, what kind of adhesive do you use to glue aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to plastic? Quote
vintagedragfan Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 is this a real engine? too bad it couldnt run and have your own 1/24 hemi rc car I'm sure the next post will be of the lumpy cam and crankshaft he just machined freehand. The post after that will be of the spark plugs...... Seriously though, this is an impressive build. I can almost hear it run now..... wouldn't that be cool? thanks guys Quote

Just wondering, what kind of adhesive do you use to glue aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to plastic? ya Kyle this is not easy for me, especially being my first time using a mill, but so far the only part I have to re make is the distributer, because it is a little too tall, I use C.A. glue from my LHS, thanks for looking Quote
