landman Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 I had built an oxy-acetylene set for the restoration shop. It was a resin set with scratchbuilt cart & torch. I needed another one for the engine shop. I found this one on eBay. It is white metal and wood. Started by drilling the bottles on the lathe. This way the fittings will be more centered than by eyeball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) A clapped out Porsche 956 has been brought in. Its engine is shot. The owner has asked FTB to do a cosmetic restoration and to set it up like this for displaying in a museum where he has donated it.

landman Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) The kit engine doesn't have a bottom. The headers are molded to the floor. The suspension cross arm wasn't meant to be seen from the front. That was easy to fix. Edited November 25, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 The air intake/rad/intercooler interface has to support a lot from a narrow connection. So I drilled the interfaces out & pinned them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
