Re: Concept Sidwinder Engine build!

OK OK got it to come up I'll post some right now.
Now you know that after I made the dip stick hole I said some thing about the Exaust assembly well I thought that this build should be built like the real one so I decided to chop up the Exaust line and add some thing you all have seen on real Exaust pipes ends or connections these parts are made out of Styreen plastic (evergreen). 015 thick [Plain] then use .025 rod for the bolts. heres the first images of that build the the dip stick thats made from thick racing car wire [black].









now I only used a lite amount of chrome paint to get that black chrome look. They tell mae thats what pipes look like befor you heat them up and the thin look like brass. if this pips where allready chromed I would have made them have that brass and blue burn look sorry and No I don't have decals for that will. "there on there way"

this is just the dip stick in place.



I wanted my model to look even more like the real thing so i used some of my Resin Disc Brakes from the reference photos from the artists in HOT ROD Mag. the brakes where big the ones that come in the kit are not right for me so I used my brakes.



I had to make some coil overs to make the look of real suspension. [A lot went in to this]:


[THIS IS A TEST SHOT FOR THE RIGHT SIZE] of coil:

ones I found the right size and type,(on the left the copper coil was to thin, on the right the plastic cotted wire was the right thickness that I needed).
I then used a 3/32 rod of brass (K&S # 5126) to rap the wire around, to acheve the right and same size as the cut off stock.

I then drilled out some (not to deep holes) for mounting the fack shocks, which are made of rod styrene (.025 # 219 for the small one-3/64" # 221 for the large silinder)this is done for front and back suspensions:





I should have shown the images of the rolling chassis but the up load images part of photobuckets not up yet but i eill post images of that soon. Back the the build The Cool Can I made on for my Mustang II Pro. I used my image as a reference point to make the only 2 I have made. what i used the make the cool can (K&S 3/16x.014 Alum tube) for the large part and (K&S 1/8x.014 Alum tube) stock #5102,5104. And yes the is a oilsump on the engine. I drilled to holes on the can and I'm going to make some small fitting for my breaded lines I don't have the right size of fitting so I'm going to make them my self.



now I going to paint the rear suspension with the coils on.





OK the Gas tank is to be Red with black straps, the hole "Fram" or Chassis needs to black so I painted the G-tank red and used Liquid Latex as a mask first time ever doint that lol:


this si the cool can and where it's located on the chassis. Oh and Ll the brack lines and oil,gas lines feed in the the box chassis and I'm going to do all that to.

this is to show the hight of the cool can under the body.


now I have more images to show soon as i cant uplode them to photobucket I'll post them there of the true rolling chassis with the wheels and tires on and the mufflers to. Oh Yah for you all how are working on the project or a tuner project the drive shaft is Carbonfiber mmmm the black and gray type this will look good on the under body on most Imports. I'll post the new images soon and thank for looking.
some thing that sliped my mine I for got to tell you, you need to sand off the words on the gas take. Images of that:


now for some more images and the site where I got all the engine views chassis looks from:
http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicl...inder_concept/
just click on the images to see them bigger.
Now on to the chassis build. After you paint over you latex mask remove it and just tuch up the black straps with a fine tip brush.









[Next] the interior paint and flocking work.


Oops I didn't see you down there sorry for running you over!
