 Been making more progress and still am scratch building parts. Since there is no compatible parts for the engine, I am to create one using the sclupy to make oil pan flatten and create the manifold. To make it as of the nail head engine. Its a big challenge but am getting there. I also have to create the radiator since there is no compatible size to fit with the engine and the chassis is also scratch built I have been measuring and adjusting quite some times. Hoping it will blend in all together. Its a painstaking work! whew. More to come.. |

Fabulous fabricating B!👍👍
One of a kind. Helps us imagine Ed Roth doing the same with fiberglass full size 😲
A Toon'd Nailhead 😎😎
Love it! I loves to scratch a flattie, but I might just have to consider a scratched up Nailhead 🤔😊

Lot's of great looking work going on here Brian ! Building from scratch like this always ends up more involved than originally planned .  |
