Nice work Clay. You can do a hell of a lot with thin sheet.

Flat out great! I am always in awe of folks who can build from scratch. To me it is just so hard and if there are flaws I always lost heart in it. Glad you have the talent and drive to do such good things.

I'm blown away Clay. I used to think I was a pretty good scratch builder, but I bow to the master.

Valve covers are painted, so now it's time to see if I can carve out a blower from styrene.
Making a blower cover plate by drilling and inserting hex rod from the back. They will be trimmed off the bacck when the glue has set.

Fabulous work on the motor. I think this is the first time I have ever seen anyone take on an engine in scratch building. Keep it up, it looks great!

Who doesn't like to rummage around in salvage yards ???
Found a 1:24 oxygen tank In mine this morning. Prefect for the distributor and starter. However, the diameter was a little oversize for the dizzy, the starter might have worked hid down under the headers, but,
But further scrounging found both halves of a muffler. Better !!!
Distributor mocked.
