John Teresi Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 Dang John, that blower belt looks so real man!!! Does that actually have threads in it??! Derrick.......no threads........I just painted the outside black and the inside gray.......then I drew some lines on the gray to look like threads......but,I noticed I need to draw a few more lines to match the pulley threads.......thanks.
Mooneyzs Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Holy Smokes John... this is sure coming together. Man does that engine look nice and so does all of the bottles. You know I love your work Bud!! I do have to ask you what are you using for the gauge faces on the bottles. It looks great. And what material did you use for this belt. Looking great man. I also love the gaskets under the valve covers. every little detail is there. Sure is getting me motivated to get more done on my Funny Car. I haven't worked on it in almost 2 weeks.
W-409 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Absolutely incredible! I can't believe how you do this work, but it sure looks awesome. The engine with all of those details... Just WOW!!! Can't say more, Fantastic.
