The Official Status Update Thread: Part 34 - Steel Magnolias

[Suprtek]

I found an original kit for one of the old V8 motors they made and built it a few years ago. The motor I have will mount directly into that chassis and actually run it.

 

[Suprtek]

They make newer versions of model engine kits but they aren't nearly as detailed and don't have nearly as many moving parts.

 

[Suprtek]

Oops, can't forget my kaboom!

 

[Westside]

I would really love to have one of these old kits. Every time I find one available for sale in decent condition they want over $1000 for it!

that's really cool.

that's really cool.

It is. The transmission, diff, hydraulics and suspension are all fully functional. The engine I built took a lot of hours to get all the parts shaped properly to fit and function as intended. It has nearly every moving part a real V8 engine would have as well. I'd love to mount it into one of these chassis!

It was a spammer relaying mail through his mail server.

Oh, I was expecting something more sophisticated than "spammer." But it is cool.

The Crossing's version of "Mourning Into Dancing" is the best version ever and I cannot find it on the interwebz to listen to.
