I love that movie. Just watched Man From Laramie, Destry Rides Again and True Grit this week. Dang I love me a good western. I understood you though.
I was doing some work on the car last week and my wife was watching TV with the dogs (they also love westerns) and I walked past saw Richard Widmark and said "Oh, Cheyenne Autumn, great movie." She couldn't believe I knew the movie by just the single image I saw. How could I not!
Yes, it's done. I'm not sure what the noise that it makes is supposed be though.
That seems to be the major complaint with this kit. I was thinking about getting one a year ago and finding a way to silence the motor/drive sounds.
Still, must have been fun to build...and you did it so much faster than Scott has been going with his motor
Wow! That is really cool. Is there a sound chip to make it sound as though it's revving?
I'm going to try to find something better than the current sound which is an engine turning over with a really weak battery.
(BTW, I added a little footage at the end that shows the valve train)

Yeah, well, that's because he didn't need a lefthanded M5 threaded rod...

That really is nice. I used to build a lot of scale models, when I had free time. Now all of my free time seems to be occupied by 1:1 scale cars. My basement is full of half started models. And my kids gave me a bunch of Lego Porsche kits last Christmas. Guess how far I am on those?
Only three days for this delivery of hardware. It's been two weeks since I ordered the threaded rod. I've got two exhaust gaskets, spark plugs and a heat exchanger coming from FCP. A bunch of stuff from Sunset, Pelican, Amazon and ECS. Should be able to move forward soon.
I was looking out the widow and saw two turkeys rolling in the dirt on our track. I couldn't get close to them with my camera. But I did scare up a couple of deer.
The horses, that stay out at night, had no interest whatsoever.
Its good to look outside once in a while, remember that its a beautiful world
The weather is finally turning for the better around here. I've spent a lot of the last couple of days messing in the yard and garden. Still have a long way to go. Probably even more than I have to go on the engine.
Just when I thought I was in for the night. The ladies went out for a quick ride before the sun goes down. Here's a horse walking my wife...
Then poor Sundae giving me that look; "won't you please let me in"? She scares easily at the sound of gun shots. We seem to have a lot of shooters around here.
