Engine/ headers now mounted on chassis

I missed this so I'm bumping it to the next page. Awesome update. That looks wonderful. 

[moparman18064]

Made new driveshaft from styrene tube and cutoff end yokes from Duster kit. I finished trunk details and married body to chassis

Thank you Kyle. Yes, I can’t wait, so I can get on to my JPS Lotus 72

[handiabled]

This is coming together wonderfully! You are definitely close to the finish line now.

Thank you! Closing in, but many more details to go!

[moparman18064]

Added some more details, washer bottle, fuel line to cool can, orange ignition box, super coil. Working on making fuel pressure regulator, starter solenoid, brake and fuel lines.

[kyledehart5]

I really love all the detail you’ve been packing into this build from the start. It’s all paying off nicely. That engine compartment is looking great.

[406 Silverado]

Some good progress being made here Rich and all the details that you’re adding are giving this one a lot of depth man. What a cool project this is.

Thank you Joe. When I started it, I wanted details, but somewhere, I went waaaaay down the rabbit hole.

Rabbit hole is a good description as one small detail usually leads to 5 others that go along with it. You are doing a great job balancing detail throughout this entire build. The engine compartment is coming along great!

Engine bay looks fantastic. All those details really make it.....

That shifter would have caused nightmares for me. I thought I was bad with over 40 pieces in interior. By the way, where did you find the fuel pressure gauge on the cowl? I can’t locate one anywhere.

My slicks, Tricks and front runners from 3d Scale Parts have finally arrived

[handiabled]

Those are some cool looking meats for the rear end!

[kyledehart5]

Some very nice looking parts indeed!

  Dang it Rich!! Those look fantastic!!! 

[moparman18064]

Thank you Joe, Kyle, Brent. After many x-rays, MRI, neurosurgeon visits, 2 days of tornado warnings( one actually hit 400 feet from my house), I decided to get back at it again. I now believe I have the under hood finished( for now ha ha). I made hoses from solder and heat shrink, made the spring type clamps from 26 ha. wire. I wired starter, ground to block, made throttle cable bracket, return spring from 32ga. wire, throttle cable. I plumbed fuel lines from tank to cool can, made fuel pressure regulator and plumbed from cool can. I made fuel lines from regulator to carb from styrene rod and braided line/ hose from Ted’s Model marketplace, same with nitrous lines from tank to solenoid and fuel pressure regulator to solenoid. I made brake lines from master to metering valve. Mopar orange ignition box, Accel super coil , cool can are from VCG Resins. Nitrous parts from Neffy’s Customs. I also fabbed the ballast resistor and starter solenoid.

I also started the hood pins, but may just glue the parts to hood, as lining up 4 pins this small on a lift off hood might not work well.

[kyledehart5]

Wow Rich!! Sounds like you’ve had quite a time of it!! Hope everything is all well with you. And another great update. This has been such fun to follow along with the whole build.

[406 Silverado]

Dude.......that engine bay is frickin' SICK!! The only thing you may have forgotten was to put oil in the dang thing!! This is some really......really .....impressive work Rich!

BTW.....sounds like you've been through the wringer in the past couple of days and then you had a tornado that close. That is NUTS!! Glad to hear that you are ok bud.

[TJ]

Wow that engine bay.....

Glad to see Helene didn't damage anything. Storm missed here but hit North Florida bad

[handiabled]

Glad your good after a close one like that. Had one pass my brothers and I when we were outside by a half a city block. Not something I would want to repeat. Your detail work under the hood is sensational! You haven't missed a beat with this build!

Yes Kyle, quite a time! Luckily, no one was hurt. NWS said it was EF-1, it tore roofs off a couple garages, relocated a shed, destroyed a carport, etc. As for me, not so good, need another spinal fusion, barely been able to stand, sleep. Thank you for the kind words on my everlasting build.

Thank you Joe. I knew going in to this build that I was going to put a bunch of details in from the minute I cut the trunk out. I figure now that I can get it out of my system by pretty much loading it up. I really want to get it finished up, so I can get on to my big scale stuff. My 1/8 Lotus really wants to hit the bench. And thank you again for the well wishes.

Thank you TJ. Glad Helene didn’t get me also. For a few of my neighbors, they can’t say the same. Zeta got me 3 years ago, tore up my pool fence, tore my inground pool liner, destroyed a $5000 French casement window. I was lucky. I truly feel sorry for all the victims of Helene. Over 60 dead now, it left a serious path of damage. They are still searching for people the last I heard in Western NC, the flooding was unbelievable.

Thank you Brent. It was scary indeed. Thank you for the kind comments on the build also. Now, on to the undercarriage!

[moparman18064]

Installed rear bumper, scratch built fuel pumps, fuel filter, driveshaft safety hoop. Next up is plumbing from tank to pumps, filter, then on to backing plates.

[kyledehart5]

So good!! I love this build. You’re cramming all the details in and it’s paying off.
