Thanks for that link.  The small working models get my attention.  That is the first time I have see a Hemi that small.

A thought ---MoparManJim--- engines are basically air pumps.---A working engine in 1/24 could work with compressed air 
I do like the idea and it would be great fun to make it work through a transmission in a 1/24th scale car.

The working model engines I have seen are just that.

Hi you all, I like you alls suggestions. But I'm sticking with the scale of a 1/25 or 1/24 scale engine. With the bigger engines being done in bigger shows they can be built in those scales to work. BUT I want to take it a step more and do it in a much smaller scale though. I'm not going to use compress air either. I am planing to use fuel or rubbing alcole to power it. I am also working on a small tranny as well to power the project plus a working rear end.

Hi you all, well we been having some storms here in PA, so I'm doing what I  can on a few projects that I have going.

I got the rear seat floor pan area done just a bout (just have to add the wheel well). I also got the original factory kit shock cross member area taken care of as well and got the new trunk pan piece for that area almost done. Working on the wheel wells now.

Anyways I'm going to leave the photos do the talking. Please over look my camera, I think it's starting to go out on me.

Now I sanded down and made a indentation and then glued in a 3mm x 4mm block.. and then filed it down to make the lip like what the real 2nd gen charger trunk pan has

Hi you all, still working on at things.  I took alittle time off from the back end area and started to do some work on the console. I am going to be well trying to use real wood on this project for the wood grain stuff. I built my own mini table saw to make the wooden pieces for this project plus another one. The trunk pan still needs to be fab up yet with using a different thickness of stryne. I also had to glue the chassis into the shell for the time being.

Here is some photos.





I had a issue here as the gap was two different sizes
