Re: Another Super 7
The cast portions that make up the gearbox and tail shaft assemblies of the transmission are built and have had some texture applied.
The top of the gear case has been shot with a cold galvanizing coating. The trans is pinned together to help with future painting and assembly. More parts need to be machined to round this part out, but most of them are just hardware items. |

Re: Another Super 7
I started on the master for the Webers. The body is made from bronze I acquired from the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. A friend who worked there gave me a set of used pick up shoes (think giant slot car).
I machined the body to accept the venturi tubes; they are pieces of brass tubing. Soldering the bronze to the brass turned to be more difficult than I expected, and it doesn’t have much strength for hard edges either. It seems to be a porous and dirty metal, maybe from its previous life…? Next I added the bowl to it. Since the bronze needed far more heat to fuse other parts to it using solder than the brass, I opted to use styrene for these parts. Looks kind of like Wall-E… |

Re: Another Super 7
The base flanges have been added, they are made from acid cut brass from artwork I drew.
I also added the intake side flanges… |

Re: Another Super 7
The carb look fantastic! You're right about bronze, it's often an absolute arse to solder well...varies hugely in quality and composition, plus cast parts can be very porous!
Nice job! |

Re: Another Super 7
Thanks guys!
This is the beginning of the intake manifold. It is all brass soldered together. Mounting surfaces are acid cut and the tubes are just K&S stock cut and machined to fit. This is the carb master and manifold dry fitted to the head. |

Re: Another Super 7
Here is the windshield frame and rearview mirror. Each is made of three pieces of brass soldered together.
The rim for the face has been acid cut and soldered onto the mirror. Still needs some clean up and trueing before painting and installation of the mirror face. |

Re: Another Super 7
These are the seat belt adjuster buckles for the shoulder harnesses. More acid etched brass cut from my artwork. I cut lines into them (about half the thickness of the brass) to aid in the folding and positioning of other parts to be soldered on later.
These are the seat belt anchor pieces also cut from brass. Still a little clean up needed, but this is close to how they look fresh from the acid etching. |

Re: Another Super 7
This is the beginning of the tire master. Again I utilized PVC from the hardware store; this time a plumbing fitting that was just about the right size. It was a little thin on material where I wanted to make the sidewall, so I built it up with some CA so I could have more curvature to the sidewall. I cut the sidewall on the lathe freehand but used traditional tools to cut the bead; the tread was cut on the mill. The tread is patterned after an Advan tire.
