Looking good. Just from an engineering perspective is that angled/beveled cut necessary or is it more for aesthetics.

Cobra you knwo how to get a man excited :bow: :bow: :bow:

That's pretty awesome but what happened to all the other pics up to you getting it finished :( :big: :big: :big:

Oooh caertainly looking good

Rof} Rof} Rof} Yeah it's stands for noisey like Vernon said. Back when I was a little younger I was big into car audio and they were my number plates. Well they still are. Lots of people know me as noisey but my real name is Glenn ;D

I wish I hadn't seen this. Now I want you to hurry up so I can see it progress. Speed up my good man ;D ;D ;D Seriuosly though it is looking good and i can't wait to see more ;D

Thanks Vernon. Chilly, yeah it's a big project. Nothing like jumping in the deep end and having a go. Especially when I started with virtually nothing ;D Oh yeah and that is a straight 6 in there. I'm not sure if you have heard of it but it is a Holden 6 202ci and a 3 speed auto behind it...

Chilly you may be on to something there :big: Just for those that may be interested. Rather than start a thread on something completely off topic but here is my Hot rod. It is basically scratch built. I started with a chassis and cowl section and the rest will be hand built by me. Chassis is a...

Chillybilly my workshop is very small at the moment. It's a single garage but I am currently building a Hotrod (I hope I don't affend any restorers that may be on here :-[) and that takes up a lot of room. So currently i'm very limited for room but my wife and I plan on buying a bigger house in...

Tin the size i'm looking at is more the smaller size. Like you stated the "fit in you hand" scale is what I like and maybe a little larger. Say fit in 2 hands size ;D Tmuir thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind.

Wow. This is some awesome stuff. Thanks for posting.

I've just found Flame eaters and they look pretty interesting. I'll add one of those to the list too ;D

Thanks for all the replies people. It's very much appreciated. Looks like I have some thinking to do. I'm not quite ready to make a purchase yet so I'll be looking around and trying to make up my mind. As for what i want to build. Well firstly i'd love to build a Hit and Miss type of engine...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the world of engineering and i'm a little daunted by it all :-\ I'd like some advice from all you learned peoples. What type of workshop machinery should I buy first. Should I be looking at getting a lathe first or a mill. First off I'll need to teach my self the...

Hello, I'm new around here. Is there somewhere on here on how you cast the parts. Looks very interesting.

Oooh. That looks pretty sweet. I best be finding some time to read your webpages. Nice work.

Thanks for letting me know about Alibre. I've just jumped in and bought a copy ;D I'll have to wait until i'm home this afternoon and download it and start playing. For $99 it can't be to bad and seems from what i've read on here heaps of people like it. Hopefully i'll be designing stuff soon...

Hello, I'm looking at getting some CAD software but I am unsure of what to get. I see a lot of people use Solidworks but I have no idea on how much it costs. I've looked at their website and it has some great features but i'd imagine it would come at a great cost. I like it's ability to...

Hello, My wife is the manager of a diesel fuel injection specialist workshop (long story short she is a mechanic ;D ) and what bentprop said is correct. It would be an extremely difficult task in making both the injector and the the fuel pump. The injectors alone are an amazing bit of gear to...

Thanks for the great comments folks. I look forward to reading and learning a heap off all of you ;D Now it's time to start asking question :big:
