rochoa21 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 You need to find a way to mass produce these parts. Could you make cad files and then have them cnc made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Amazing stuff Bill. Now I want you to go out to your workshop and gather up all of your paint cans and jars and throw them out. Don't think about it, just go do it because it'd be a shame to hide all of this wonderful metal work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagedragfan Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 managed to get a little work done so far this week end, got some breathers made up, the ends were turned on the lathe and some very fine wire mesh for the actual breather, you can actually see through them I made up the core support out of square brass tubing, I wanted to be able to assemble it easily when the time came, but yet still be strong so I pinned the frame extensions to the frame and soldered smaller tubing on the core support that slides nice and tight into the extensions, seems to work very well thanks for all of the support from all who have commented, really do appreciate it, thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwack Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Bill, I am new to this forum and just went through all your progress pictures of this Cuda. This is the most incredible model I have ever seen. Your attention to detail is breathless. Makes me want to throw all my modeling equipment away. I can only dream of achievements like this. Thank you so very much for sharing this part of your passion. I am just awestruck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
