Re: Salvage pile
Well. I got my shop cleaned today. Shop Vac'd the whole thing and even cleaned the whole work desk area. I still couldn't find the air box that flew to small parts limbo-land. Figgered I'd just as well bash up another set.

Re: Salvage pile
That's why it's clean, did the same thing when I couldn't find the rear door to the 40 SD and still haven't found it
That is going to be a cool Plymouth with a mid eng. in it

Re: Salvage pile
Y'know, in spite of the work I've done trying to replicate the top of this engine, it just ain't funky enough for a 'Mad Max' type build. I'll be looking at other options. This genre should be ripe for some IMAGINEERING !

Re: Salvage pile
I'm not sure how this pig gets it's induction. I think I'll imagineer some FI lines from the crap between the cam covers and just make some kind of breather stacks from where the tubes came between the heads

Re: Salvage pile
In all honesty I think your talent is in variations of the V-8. Whether blown, injected, turboed, or reverse induction, I enjoy them the most. Also, focusing on engines leaves less energy for creativity regarding body work, paint, etc. Just my view, thanx.

Re: Salvage pile
Now, I'm feeling a bit challenged..... painting an engine that's assembled and already installed. I have a feeling that weathering will be my friend !

Re: Salvage pile
Are you going to put some washes on the engine, to muck it up a bit?

The jury's still out on the stacks.
So, while the jury's deliberating, Took a trip to the salvage yard to look for a cowl and a firewall. A GTO seemed like a likely candidate.
Oh, yeah !! But, gonna need some serious recessing for the engine !!
And I got my imagineered FI lines in.

Re: Salvage pile
One more for today. I'm in for the rest of the afternoon. Just want to show what dropping out of high school and forsaking a promising carer in engineering will do for a person. I had to remove most of the firewall ! OK, but I did need that cowl ! I have pieces ready to fill in the sides to the inside of the fenders and will build an enclosure to box in the back of the engine.
Buck, all 4 wheels will be heavy duty rugged type. You know, the crappy hollow ones !

You really do want me to use a blower, don't you , Skid.
Actually I've been considering going taller. but don't know yet. The key word is funky, Cobbled up, salvaged stuff, kinda like I actually build my models. Rat rod on steroids. Slightly menacing, post apolitical, a piece of survivalist equipment.

Re: Salvage pile
This morning, just dinked around re-inforcing weak spots on the chasiss pan and fitting it better to the body.
My over active brain led me to getting ahead of myself, and heading to the salvage yard where there are a couple of submarine hulks. Trimmed off part of one conning tower that had remnants of a gun mount. Not sure if this salvage seat will be used, but mocked up an idea for a rear gunnrr turret.
