Now that my camera works, I can show you what I'm working on... It is a chassis, made out of paper... My idea is not completely clear, on what to do with it, and for sure I will have to modify it... But, for now is a start... I also start to made two springs, I need 4 of them... Soon more of it... I hope... Thank you for looking!

I finish some fuel filter, fuel pump and starter. Make the fuel pump was very stressful... When I was preparing some piece for it, some fell down in the carpet floor... Some flew around the room... But a the end I was able to complete the fuel pump. Still need some plumbing, but it needs to be mounted on the motor. I start also to make the front grille, not that is needed by the engine, but only because without it looks weird to me...

Thank you guys! Here some more progress... Exhaust manifold and pipe. Grille, modified so it can stay lower... Today I'm making the turbo charger, so soon I can put all the pieces together...

Thank you Gary! I had to build a new grill, the one I have has a radiator in it, so it was easy to build a new one than cut the original one. Plus this engine doesn't not require a radiator...
