Codi Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just stumbled across your thread Andy. Glad I finally did and will be following along like many others. Great build you've got going and your fabrication skills are something to see. Cheers, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 thanks again everyone. Your comments are very motivating and appreciated. Tackled the block detail and pulleys this morning, I was dreading this part because I knew this would be what either made this engine, or threw the whole thing off. I am very pleased with how it turned out, and while not 100% accurate or perfect, I think its quite convincing. Cut up a modern ford motor to get the front of the engine detail and pulleys and belts. a cut here and there and it was good to go. fit in the engine compartment, Ill source an alternator and make a bracket next. still a little cleanup needed, but that's pretty much everything..

exesivefire Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 easier to see with a little primer, needs a bit of cleanup, but overall not to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
