Re: ULTIMATE SCRATCHBUILD: 1:12 Hot Rod-Updated 7/27

Heres an quick update. I finished the engine block pretty much today. I built the oil pan. Now I have started the engine mounts, and the design for the mounting arms. The design is the biggest part of the whole project, I still need to double check everything before building the arms.







These are the engine mounts that are attached to the frame. The tube in the middle is part of the arm that goes onto the engine. The entire assembly is bolted together with the brass bolts pictured below.





Here is the beginning design of the engine mount arms.



Please enjoy! I'll have engine pictures tomorrow since my camera died earlier.
