@fiveten @johnb thank you John and Spiros I was pretty pleased with it…not perfect but looks pretty cool!

Here are some of the last 2 day update, we got more storm moving in today/evening…UGH :/

I sanded the tires the first one took 45 minutes to do! YIKES…the other 3 were as long but really tedious here is a pic of the first showing before and after

I painted the engine and transmission engine with airbrushed AK Steel, transmission with AK Duraluminum I’m pleased with both. The fuel injection lines were black wire I added a clear tube instead

So here we are as of yesterday

The sanded tire looks way better, Cricket @bikequeen
What tools did you use to get it done.
The engine and transmission look beautiful as well.

Tires look awesome, as does the engine and transmission, my friend @bikequeen!

@garybrantley thank you Gary, this one is taking shape nicely

@johnb thank you John. I used an emery board used for fingernails and sanded until my finger bled 😉

@fiveten Thank you Spiros, I’m proud of the engine! Did a ton of work on it today

@brithebuilder @johnb @fiveten @ssgt @jdtruby @clipper @gblair @anthonyricco @epinac @chinesegeorge

Did massive engine work today, i see some touch up needs to be done after looking at the photos but here it is. Since these photos were shot I have added the fuel injectors and wired the plugs. I looked up the photo of the one I did 2m years ago (almost to the date) what a difference. I cant believe how much my work has evolved … I’ll post that pic tomorrow
5 attached images. Click to enlarge.

@faraomike Thank you Mike, I live in a very small rural community there is nothing here and the nearest “city” is 45 minutes away, so I build models. Better than sitting on the couch watching TV all day 😉
