welp,a good bit's happened since my last update.
unfortunately,i'm only going to show some of it,.....hopefully it's enough to scratch your itch for awhile
please keep in mind that these are two copied and pasted quotes.

Quote:
the engine is starting to come together.
scrapped together hood latch..
it's the top of a hurst shifter and two pieces of styrene.
like i said,some stuff will be spot on and some "will work".

here's a small mockup of the main pieces.

i had to get creative for the rest of this stuff.
first up is the washer fluid res. and dipstick.






the res. is finished but drying.
now i just have to figure out how to get a decal for it.

next up is the battery and box.



here's where i got a little sneaky.
there's no point in putting a perfectly good resin battery in a box if you can't see it right?
a little bit of slick thinking and some earth magnets......


....and we have a removable bat.box cover.(still drying)


told ya the pumpkin looked good from the back...

another small mockup.....


i finally got something figured out for the pulleys.
custom like a mofo...
driveshaft bushing,styrene and brass.






i need to do a little more cutting and locate a small black rubberband and that will be done.
Quote:
i got the washer res. finished except for the decal.


the battery box needs another coat of all colors,wires,bracket and outer terminal cover but i got it somewhat painted.


i mocked everything up and realized that i need to move the fans forward to make a bit of room for the serpentine.
it also looks like i'm not going to be able to use the kit manifolds so i guess imma be making some headers.
those will raise the batt box up to where it needs to be.

my next task is to figure out something for the TB.
i don't like it........
just wait 'till you guys see the next update...
not to brag or anything but it's pretty **** cool.


cheers,
