I do a lot of stuff for local people. Usually design it in Solidworks then machine it or make it from sheet metal. Here is one I just finished. Its actually for myself. I am installing a 4 cam all aluminum V8 Lexus engine in my Nova. Lexus never made one with a manual transmission. So I machined an adapter from 6061-T6.

That's a pretty slick looking piece, gaslight. Be sure to make a thread on your build too!

Thanks for the link Rodger. Very cool stuff there.

My go to machinist who is also a tool and die maker has been fabricating and machining many of the parts on this scratch built Miller race car a local prewar die hard is building. Using copies of the original Miller drawings they are duplicating the car as close to possible as to how miller himself may have built this car that never existed. I think the engine and the wheel hubs are about the only original pieces used as seen in the pics. Any cast parts needed are being cast and machined. The only one I have a pic of is the raw transmission case. It is truly a work of art.

The Fabrication skills are incredible.

Congradulations on truly mastering this type of metal work.

It is just beautiful.

This video is a bit older than we normally see here, but I believe it's inspirational.
