Pete J. Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Just some thing to brighten your morning and encourage Randy to get back to the bench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKuNBa4uIpM I shot this years ago at the Holman-Moody garage. This is the Holman-Moody continuation car. Holman-Moody owns all the original GT40 plans and a lot of OEM parts for the Mark II's. Edited June 28, 2016 by Pete J.
curt raitz Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 RandyI just stumbled onto this thread.Having seen the GT40 at both the GSL last year and DSC in April, it was quite enlightening to see the building of the car on the forum.I enjoyed meeting you in Arizona (DSC) and am looking forward to watching the progress of this exceptional model.You are truly a "Craftsman" and have inspired me to mess with brass in future builds.C'ya down the road, sir!
Art Laski Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 So good to see you back at this, Randy! Your work never disappoints. -Art
MoparWoman Jamie Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I love watching these builds! Great work so far!
Randy D Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Hi Folks, To Lioyd, Elyashiv, Tom, Mike C. , Phil, Bruce, Jim and Steve a big thank you for taking the time to comment to you all !!! Richard, Thank you and you do realize that you can't rust the wood parts on the 'Woody" right JC, Thank you I received my first order From HRM and Harold's stuff is great!! Hi Tim, I feel the same about your's my friend! Thanks for that pick me up Pete Wish I could have been there. Ed, You will not be disappointed. Hey Joe, Appreciate it ! Brian, That is on the short list ! Chris, Time is ticking and Danno put up the first post already ! John, Weller 40 watt variable soldering iron, mostly 'Novak Silver Solder' and 'Tix' flux. Dave, Look forward to seeing you in April. Curt, Thank you for that and I always look forward to seeing your builds! See you at DSC. Art, Thank you buddy now get back to work ! Mike De, As a one time Triumph owner like you, I always wished I had Webers instead of the Strombergs on my GT6+ ! The ' Carb ' saga continues.... The HRM carbs that I ordered look awesome but I will use those on another project. I really want the Webers to be the focal point when the rear clip is lifted on this car. Kind of like this .... What follows is my attempt at a Weber IDA 48 carb. Nickel silver and brass sheet stock and tubing used on these. Reference pics, Forum member Bill E. (Ace-Garageguy) thoughtfully provided a measured drawing in another thread about these carbs, Thanks Bill ! More following........
Randy D Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Still work to done on this first one then three more to go. The stacks are a Model Factory Hiro product from an old Daytona Cobra kit that I reamed out. Thanks for looking in! Randy
Unatural Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I completely ok with you not being human. I just hope the government never sees what you're doing here, or else they're going to lock you up in area 51, and then we'll never get to see this project finished!
afx Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 You are redefining what I thought was possible in scale modeling - brilliant!
58 Impala Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Phenomenal work Randy. Your attention to detail is inspiring to other modelers. Where do you get your scale hardware? I used to use "Scale Hardware" but he has closed up shop.
Davewilly Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 That is incredible! Amazing work there Randy.
crazyrichard Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 you robot !! maNN what a stunning job again hmmmzzzz oh and noooo i wanted to rust the wood lol hahahaha
Mark IV Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Crapola......my eyes hurt from just looking at the pictures much less actually doing such fine work! Could you make me a set of the Webers for one of my projects? I will pay up to $1.97 per carb! Edited January 10, 2017 by Mark IV
John Teresi Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Randy......you are just plain insane in the membrain.......and I mean that in the best way........your skills are just magnificent ........your the best Brother
curt raitz Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Most Excellent, what size jets are you running in these webers?
Twokidsnosleep Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Something to aspire to...standing ovation on those carbs and the rest
Impalow Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 pure insanity... and i love it. outstanding work as usual randy!
Mooneyzs Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Randy.... Holy smokes... I go away for a while and I come back to this. You have me so blown away at the detail going into these carbs that are completely scratch build in brass. Very impressive my friend. It really has me considering boxing up the funny car and start collecting rocks. Love your work.
