The work continues... The good news is that I'm just about finished fabricating "all the big stuff." Once completed, I'll create/modify/improve "all the little stuff." The work continues...
It's funny you singled that out. Initially, that was quickly fabricated just as a guide to measure the proper firewall cut-out. Then I added a fabricated choke and a few other details and thought, "Well, it's cheesy but it's good enough I suppose" (remember-I'm lazy!)
My original "carb plan" was to sculped a highly detailed master, make a mold, then melt aluminum pop cans for the pour, then add fine details to that. (Yeah right! ...maybe one day but not now). 🙄
9-7-Wed UPDATE: On the heels of yesterday's large installment, I thought I'd post a "quick 8." Here's the exhaust system. S-l-o-w-l-y but surely, the big COE is coming together.
Great work Chris, do you use a 3D printer to make any of your plastic parts.
Jeff, the short answer is, "No, I do not." (well, not yet) To date, however, this project has been my most "technically modern." I use cell phones & tablets for reference pics (no more printed paper photos) along with scale mathematics. Although I still "eye-ball" measurements, it's easier to do when I know "other parts" are precise scale replicas.
I do hope to start 3-D printing (and replication) one day, but for now it's still a combination of 100% scratch building, "part pirating," part modification....and a few compromises along the way. 😉
