Hi, Something a bit different, but a dream machine: what else?!       Tapping, cutting, drilling… Studs and gasket         Preparing, checking, testing… Few parts of the alternator.  I did some work on the alternator. All the threads are made, the studs and other threaded rods put to the right length, the parts separated from their supports and prepared... The cables will be added to the lugs and terminals as soon as the painting is done. Everything is tested to validate this sub assy and move on to another... or to painting. Here are some pictures.       The assembly or rather the preparatory work continues. This part of the kit, the intake, needs a bit of work. It is necessary to be very careful to remove the part from the tree, to remove their imprint...    It's not a 45 DCOE, but it's WEBER!  I hope you will like this pretty different build. More soon  Pascal |

Man...detail to the MAX! So this is a kit that can be purchased? If so...where and how much. This one you're doing sure looks good Pascal.

Better break out the 1/4 scale torque wrench and feeler gauges! Awesome project!

Holy cow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this! The amount of detail already is stunning. How cool. Unique and awesome build.

Hi, Thank you very much mates. This is a kit from MWT, not cheap and now sold out. There is a lot of machined parts of various material, PE sheets of various metals too, brass bars, decals, lots of cables… I’m really glad you enjoy this pretty atypical build. More soon! Pascal |

Good evening, The engine stand is progressing quietly. The base is made of 4 square section tubes. They are welded to ensure more solidity. The sturdy pieces are cut and bent to give them their final shape. They will also be welded to the base.      The bends are now welded. They are temporarily held on the structure with the Speed tape to give an idea. The wheels will soon be assembled.     The sequel very soon. Pascal |

This is very interesting. As a one-time mechanic, I really appreciate this construction. Just an excellent job so far.

Good evening, Thanks a lot Mates. Adjustments and other blank assemblies continue. The crankcase is installed on the block and equipped with some machined parts, the block with studs and bolts. Tightening all nuts will remove all play/gap.     The engine mounts are also bolted.    The back of the block is positioned.  The engine is then positioned on its stand to adjust the dimensions and permanently weld the side and front supports.     More soon. Pascal |

Good evening, Thank you! Let’s take a little height… Left cylinder head test fit. Its shaft cover is also positioned to validate the thread length for cap nuts/washers. The seals (cylinder head and shaft cover) are not installed for the moment.     Pascal |
