I'm workin on it. lol I've been workin my ass off here and haven't had a single day to work on my car yet. But this weekend I am off for 3 days and none of my friends will be in town to distract me. So you will have them for sure by this weekend finally. lol

thanks bro. I totally understand about the camera phone. It is kinda funny though, 3 attempts at 2 seperate forums over a few months and I've gotten 2 sets of pictures

Hopefully black crow will make it 3, but even still...

Anyhow, I've decided to build fully functional scale replicas of vertical door hinges, will posable struts and all. How will I do this? Nadda clue

But I'll let you know if I ever find out!

Sounds good! Hey, are you by any chance going to use a Magnus SMIM? I need some measurements before I go wild with the knife and glue...

I also have an in depth question about the wiring harness(es). Umm, more like 10 questions, mostly about where stuff leads to, does anything branch off, etc. I drew a diagram of what I do have figured out, but when I posted it on PB, it shrunk down to unreadable size, no idea why...

One more point, don't know if you saw the mention of the hinges and what not, but I'll need pics of the hood hinges, the hatch struts, and the door rear most part of the door jamb, where the catch for the lock is...

Thankee much, kind sir!

No I'm gonna go with a BJ's intake on my new motor... I seen the update about all those hinges and such, I added them to the list of pictures I am able to get for you. lol

1G throttle body

Man, I hate this camera, I think I might go splurge and get something with at least 5 megapixels... You can't see anything really. The 4 black dots are for the vacuum lines. The blue dots are for screws (BISS farthest one). The green square is where the coolant passage thingy is. The red square is the base of the TPS, I'll add a chunk of styrene with some wiring that hooks up to the wiring harness...

This is from the other side, you can see the throttle shaft with a wire winding. I'll cut it off at the blue line and add a disk of plastic and the throttle cable:

I'm a little lost on something: I have that the Throttle Cable comes out the firewall and into the cruise box. Then there is a connection between the box and the actuator next to the strut tower... and then what? Directly to the throttle shaft or is there something in between?

And here are the runners for the Magnus SMIM, still needs to be squared and cut to the exact length, plus have the flange made. I'm still debating whether or not to taper the runners, since it won't be seen under the fuel rail and N2O system....

Later...

Wow... Thats so awesome looking... What are you making all that out of?

daklunk · #39 08-05-2006, 11:55 PM

It's called styrene, it plastic that comes in sheets, rods, and tubes in all different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. Really easy to work with, it's the basic staple of scratchbuilding, next to glue and putty.

Do you know the answer to my cruise/throttle question? Enlighten me, O DSM Knowledgable!

The thing I'm trying to figure out is how I'm going to wrestle all this into a 2"x2" space...

Oh and the hinge idea is dead, I can't photoetch .020 Stainless steel. I'm still going to try and incoorperate posable struts, and the hinges will still be vertical style... Just need to figure out how...

Blackcrow64 · #40 08-06-2006, 12:01 AM

I can't remember how the cruise cable went on mine... I'll throw a picture of it up too when I get the rest of them tomorrow for ya.

daklunk · #41 08-06-2006, 03:13 PM

Awesome, sounds good.

Hey, is it unreasonable to call the turbo a 16g if I'm advertising the build as "450+ hp"? A Schwitzer S200 would peg it well into that, but this is supposed to be a street and show car, too. Can't be juicing at every stoplight to beat the lag... Maybe I could say I lifted a variable geo turbo off a Porsche recently...

Blackcrow64 · #42 08-06-2006, 06:27 PM

I've got lots of picturessss.

I'm gonna work on getting them online for you now.

**EDIT**
I have them up on my site now and kept them at a high resolution for you so you can see more detail... The only problem is I can't remember how to make it just list everything in the directory folder as if it didn't have an index.html... Does anybody know how to make it do this?

Blackcrow64 · #43 08-06-2006, 07:33 PM

Alrighty, disregard my last edit... My server is composed of homosexuals... Anyways, I took the time and liberty to put together a simple one paged list that includes a link to each and every picture I took. Please do not visit this page or pictures unless you are me or daklunk... I don't need my bandwidth killed for the month by having 50 other people browsing through it for no reason. Thank you.

And with that said, here they are finally...
http://www.threadlinedesigns.com/modelpics/

Daklunk, as you view them, save them to your harddrive so you have them. Lemme know once you have them all saved so I can remove it all from my site. Because of the high resolutions they killed 1/4 of my space. lol

daklunk · #44 08-06-2006, 07:41 PM

You're the best bro! I'll save 'em right now and let you know as soon as I'm finished. I have dial up so, uh, it may take a minute...

Thanks man!

daklunk · #45 08-06-2006, 07:50 PM

Holy shizzle, when you said high resolution, you weren't kidding! Yes, to anyone else reading this, please don't visit it, it WILL eat up his bandwidth hella quick.

Hey I will have to look at these tonight, I'm sorry, I gotta mow a lawn and get my back adjusted. These pictures will take probably an hour to load and save...

Thanks for doing this, man, this will be a huge help...
