Another Super 7

I made an asbestos insulator wrap for the header. I mixed a light metallic gray color and painted the tape to replicate the color of a brand I found that offers it in two inch and one inch widths.

I finished the header and collector, also added the mounting hardware and springs. The outermost two fasteners on the flange are studs with washers and bolts, the rest are just bolts with washers. I find it easier to install headers when they can be hung from a couple studs off the head. I also added a little dirt to the wrapping.

Thanks guys!

I used end mills for both of those parts John. The ignition box fins were cut with a 1/32 end mill; working in resin it wasn't a problem.
The cam cover fins were cut with a 1/4 inch end mill. Since it is a stepped design, almost any size end mill could be used. But the pockets for the mounting bolts were done with a 1/16 inch end mill.

Sorry for the late reply and many thanks! Isn't resin great to mill...I love the fact the tools stay sharp!

The insulation wrap looks 1:1 perfect too - identical to what I use on my cars. What do you use for it?:cool:

John

The wrap is made from cloth tape. I had to look through several brands at several stores before I decided to try this product from CVS pharmacy. CVS brand "Cloth Tape". I don't know what the U.K. equivalent would be.

I bolted the adaptor for the muffler to the collector and installed the gasket.

Time to mount the trans to the bellhousing. I beefed up the connection with brass rod and tubing (inside the trans).

I discovered a way to “scratch-build” some fine detailing wire. I made this 0.005 diameter “wire” from Schedule C PVC sprinkler pipe on my lathe. I also made some 0.009 diameter. That comes out about 18 & 20 gauge wire in 1/12 scale. It can be painted or dyed with sharpie or hi-lighter pen.

Mark, superb work and craftsmanship man, absolutely stunning really. :worshippy
That header wrap looks almost too good....you sure you didn't slip in a pic of your real build? ;) :iceslolan

And man, that detail wire you made, that is seriously tiny in diameter, that's just kool. :smokin:
Still loving the whole build, build on!

Thanks a lot Greg!

Fuel tank. Yes, even the wire is scratch-built…

Tire iron. Mostly brass, aluminum for the bit. Yes, it fits the lugs and functions as a real wrench.

Fantastic stuff, the details are amazing!
What did you use to texture the rear end?
Cheers
Glenn

Thanks Glenn. I used talc, same for the texture on the trans and engine block.

Oil tank and mounting assembly. Tank is aluminum, mount is brass.

Super SUPER (7) work as always Mark. The larger tank has an awesome shine to it. :thumbsup:

Thanks Greg!

These are most of the raw acid cut brass lap belt buckles.

The belts and hardware have been assembled. The shoulder belts have pull down adjusters; the lap belts are the pull up style.

I am making a diamond tufted pattern for the seating surfaces. First I cut the pattern of properly spaced diamonds out of vinyl and applied them to a sheet of decal paper. Then I cut another set of diamonds, each about .020 smaller, and applied them individually to the vinyl already on the decal paper. (That is 262 pieces of vinyl per seat.)
In this photo the left (the seat back) shows the two layers of vinyl on the decal paper. On the right is the lower seat cushion, it has a decal I made applied on top of the vinyl texture that contains the red stitching that runs between all the diamonds.

Applied to the seats… I still need to add some stitching to join all the panels.

Almost every post in this thread demonstrates some technique I haven't seen before. The seats look amazing!

Thanks!

Seats are done, French stitching and seat beat guides have been added. Ready to fit the harnesses to them.

I definitely need to go back and read what I missed over the last year of not being here!

That's very impressive! I wish I had the same skills as yours. Man, I'm envy. Can't wait to see your output! Good luck! :)

do you ever get the feeling, that since one thing is detailed everything must be just as detailed!?

Started installing the seat belts, shoulder harnesses first.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/Scale-Master/AnotherSeven/DSC03890_zpscaa53d5a.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Scale-Master/media/AnotherSeven/DSC03890_zpscaa53d5a.jpg.html)

After I test assembled the lap belts by bolting them into the frame and wrapping them over the seats I found they would not lay the way I wanted them to. So I had to mount them to the seats and forgo the lower mounting points. Not a real issue as they were not even visible once the seats were installed. All the stitching and labeling is done on the shoulder harnesses even the ones behind the seat.

And here are all the lap belts. I’ll probably add some wear to the assemblies later, but they’re done for now…

Man, so cool you are still going strong on this one!!!! Haven't you ever heard of Modeler's ADD?!?!?!?!

Keep it up. This keeps getting better and better!
Andy

Is this the cure or a cause of ADD?

This is the oil cooler. I made most of the housing when I was building the radiator, but I wasn’t happy with the first core. I used the same material (aluminum) and learned from my first attempt to make a better core. Then I finished the housing.
Yes, the core does allow airflow. I still need to make the mounting hardware and fittings.

Yes, the core does allow airflow.

Aw, yes, but does it allow for fluid flow?? Most likely the cause of A.D.D.

I primed the frame getting it prepped for paint. Two part polyester primer. The stuff sands very nicely.

21 months to the day I started making parts and it is now going officially into the assembly stage.
The pumpkin assembly for the differential went in first; I still need to make the cosmetic fasteners for it.
Next the fuel tank went in. I machined the fasteners for it today since it isn’t mounted on brass guides like the diff, the hardware holds it in.

It looks stunning!!! I cant wait to see the assembled car

Thanks Emil.

More work done and parts added to the calipers. I machined all the bolts and the bleeder valves and added the lines that connect the pistons. They look similar, but there are fronts / rears and lefts / rights.

Fuel pump. Both the pump and bracket are brass and aluminum. Purposely grunged it up before installation, it goes inside the right rear wheel well.

This is the DeDion tube with the rear calipers, rotors, outer CV joints/boots and lower shock sections installed. The black calipers are for the parking brakes and have the pads installed. Still more hardware is needed before I install this assembly into the chassis.

Just fabulous work. How are you assembling things? Do you use CA or epoxy or are super small bolts/screws used. Maybe this is s silly question but after all this work it doesn't strike me that you would just "glue" it together...

Actually most of the main subassemblies press fit together. Each of those are built in a traditional method of cementing (mostly using CA) and pinning and bolting together or soldering for the brass parts. Much of the mock up work was done with screws, but final assembly will be done using bolts or pins that look like bolts that I make.
I put a lot of planning in so it should fit positively and be strong.

Again, fantastic.

Totally unrelated but I used to live in HB and Newport. I haven't been back in many years but have many fond memories. Lots of good car culture there.

Yes, this area is packed full of cool cars and car people. Donut Derelicts and Cars & Coffee plus a few car shows every weekend... You can easily O.D. on car culture if you want.


I got the rear suspension installed. Even after dry fitting each step along the way as I made the parts, it was an especially tight fit with the parts now painted. A much more delicate touch was required to assemble it this time.
I made over a dozen nuts & bolts as I went. I also made the limiting straps and clamps for the outer CV boots.
The suspension does operate.

I'm not posting often here and I only keep an eye on it as 1/12 is not my scale and I'm not fan of the car built (sorry... :lol:) but what you're doing here is simply unbelievable !! :thumbsup:
and I wanted to say it. :)

Thanks rallymaster!

I relocated the parking brake from the traditional location under dash to the center of the transmission tunnel; better for gymkhana trials… The handle has a knurled pattern in the rubber grip.

I shot the front fenders yesterday and in 18 hours they are already dry enough to handle safely. The color is a mix of Tamiya Gunmetal and Testors Gloss Black enamels. I wanted a dark Gunmetal with relatively fine metallic.

Talc.

Brake hard lines. The small ones connect to the master; the line for the rear brakes goes into the firewall. Those are brass guides where the lines go through the body, not fittings.
