How about a REAL update??
After some work, and some resin casting, we now have an ALMOST complete intake manifold. I need to source some small button head screws for the top of the manifold (anyone know where to get some? preferably just the heads). I've also got a pair of complete rotors for the front. I'm going to try and source some rotors and calipers from the 1/12th Skyline kit for the rear, so as to not have to completely scratch another set of rotors and calipers. The rotors also are in paint. As is the engine block and heads, as well as a set of 4 wheel centers.....finally. All were painted with model masters metalizers. I had some trouble with my airbrush....seems I have a hole in my airline which I found after I was done spraying, and thought it was a problem with the brush. But I am happy with the result. I am debating on whether to hit the wheel centers with some clear just to make them pop, and give them the powder coated look. (got that tip from Clay Kemp, he used it on his chopper build). And yes, I am STILL waiting on the sleeves. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the engine assembled. I need to add some bolt heads to the valley cover, paint those, and then I can assemble the heads and intake. Then it will be time to get started on the brake calipers. I am leaning toward a one peice BAER unit. Here are the pics, comments and criticisms please!
