That is so real that it is unreal!

Many years ago I saw a an advert for Memorex audio castettes with Ela Fitzgerald(?). She hit a high note which shattered a wine glass. They recorded this on Memorex tape and then replayed it. Of course, the next glass shattered from the sound recording to demonstrate the quality of the tape and just how faithfully it recorded every frequency.

The slogan of the campaign was "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" You can guess why this build of yours reminds me of this advert!

I now ask myself "Is it real, or is it Scale-Master?"

The kit doesn't supply a slave cylinder, and the kit's clutch master, while adequate for most builds was replaced like most of the other "mundane" parts on this project.
All machined aluminum except the machined left over cast resin reservoir, and machined soft plastic seal under it.
Seven pieces for the master, eight pieces for the slave.... - Mark

Mark, the amount of detail is inspiring. When you say how many pieces when into each sub assembly I attempt to find each one of those! Thanks for posting.

have u ever thought about creating real parts for 1:1 cars? im sure u could make some badass interior accesorys with your machining skills.

I just saw this thread, I thought I was seeing the actual car being built!

I see why you are putting that "ruler" next to the parts you have made!

I am enjoying this build so much!

can we see some of those?

Well, some of the more intricate parts are only visible if I remove other parts, but I found this picture of my engine already in my album that has a few little parts I machined. I know they are nothing extravagant, but then again, I made them for function first. (Didn't stop me from putting pretty finishes on them though...)
The angle bracket that mounts the power steering pump to the head is one, just in front (to the left) of the cylinder #1 header tube. And the aluminum "shims" that align the late model alternator to this '70 small block.
Sorry, that's all I could find without taking apart the car... - Mark

[Scale-Master]

About a dozen parts in each shock, forgot how many in the lower control arms. I did use the kit springs though, painted them with R/C car body paint so they won't crack when the springs are compressed.



Also made this oil reservoir out of delrin last night. Fittings and cap are aluminum of course. The kit offering is next to it... - Mark

[mike@af]

I love those shocks Mark!

[Scale-Master]

Thanks Mike, and they work too... - Mark

I knew they would probably work, but now Mark, do they have all the seals and O-Rings in them?
