exesivefire Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Progress on the header, needs a little cleanup but I like it
misterNNL Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Every detail under the hood has a great flow to it,the headers,brackets et all.Simply stunning design and exection.
exesivefire Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 So I never have good luck with photo etch, I coukd t stand how those flanges all were at different angles... Popped them off , cleaned up and made my own
exesivefire Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Got it lined up with the exhaust I made for it previously
hjracing Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 This exaust sistem is trully nice! Keep this awesome project coming!
Codi Posted June 8, 2015 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
exesivefire Posted June 8, 2015 Author 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 Posted June 8, 2015 easier to see with a little primer, needs a bit of cleanup, but overall not to bad.
exesivefire Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 couldn't help myself, had to mock it all up again after I got the fuel rail and linkage started. I cant wait for paint!
afx Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Engine looks good Andy and the new header is big improvement.
slusher Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Fantastic work on the exhaust. Looking forward to some paint...
MuellerFace Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I think this is my new favorite build, awesome work!!

misterNNL Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Really glad to see this build back in the mix! Absolutely out of this world sourcing and mixing of different component parts.Your eye for the smallest of details like the alignment of the exhaust flanges is second to none.Great stuff! Thanks for taking the time to taake all the photos and keep us in the loop with your progress.
