After what seemed like forever I got an oil pan, oil pump, and the first set of lines routed.

Everything is real tight in there. Final assembly should be interesting

Please post some pictures of the completed engine before you install it.That level of creative detail will serve as inspiration for a lot of builders.

How did you make those collectors on the end of your exhaust pipes?I am building a 1920 Olds track roadster hot rod that I would like to make a collector"can" for 4 pipes.

Great photos,Very clear and nice depth of field.

Heat shrink. I can't take credit though, I'm sure I saw that somewhere

Not much, took a break from it to work on a couple other builds.. I do not want to rush this one

Please take your time with this Andy, it's just too cool to rush! For someone with no experience with a lathe, you're making it look too easy man, that's some awesome work! This one's just my opinion, I'd polish up the rings you made for the rims and dull-cote the centers, they've got a good color already, remove the shine and add some polished-up rings and they should look great!

Decided to pick back up on this one, I was never really happy with the crazy noodles header. So I started over.

I will make a flange and a tapered collector/down pipe to connect to my exhaust. I think this looks a lot more realistic.

As much as i like noodles.... I do like the new header a lot more. This thing is amazing in person... So tiny with little shiny pieces of jewelry all over it.
