Body:
The body is being built out of a variety of materials including polyurethane, styrene, evercoat, and brass. The door skins, trunk skin, and hood will be formed out of .010 brass sheet on a mini english wheel.




Engine:At this stage I have to begin building the engine before I can continue the front section the body. The powerplant will be a Chevy ZZ502 built from styrene, polyurethane, brass, and aluminum. The engine will include all the internals including valves, cam, crank, rockers, push rods, etc. Currently the engine has been designed, and is starting to be built.

This particular piece is master machined out of polyurethane. The master is of the tops of the cylinders with the coolant ports and cylinder bores. I will pour RTV mold rubber to cast these pieces for the engine block and heads.




I had to seperate the post to post all the images. Sorry.
