Hello,

Thank you!
I couldn’t have left this marvel in the stash without building it!!

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.

Next soon.

Great to be able to follow along.

This is one of those kits i almost bought even though the subject doesn’t immediately appeal. So much care has gone into the design.

Enjoy!!

Good evening,

Thank you!


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!

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.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


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.

Image

Image

Image

Image

The sequel very soon.

Good evening,

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.

Image

Image

Image

Image

The engine mounts are also bolted.

Image

Image

Image

The back of the block is positioned.

Image


The engine is then positioned on its stand to adjust the dimensions and permanently weld the side and front supports.

Image

Image

Image

Image


More soon.
