'65 Dodge A100 Monster Truck, "Doomz Day" NEW Progress 11-18-2016

Have you got sole photos or plans of your machine? It would be cool to see that!

Actually, No. this whole build is Fictional! I'm building it as I go..... I have no plans, no nothing, just my own fore sight on what I am trying to make from thoughts in my own head!!!! So for what its worth, I'm "Winging" the whole build. by the seat of my pants!

No No I told about your turning machine for billet parts I know this engine getting out your psychedelic brain

Fred, your funny!~ LOL Yeah talk about a psychedelic Brain, your NOT kiddin! LOL

But honestly? I got no plans for this build, I go as I think it up in my head and the trick of it all? Is making IT what I have in my head.... LOL thats where the skill really shows on my building!

I told you about your machine to realize pulleys and billet parts It would be cool to see yours because i would like to built mine

Fred,
OHHHHH Using mine as an example. I get ya now!!!! Can you turn your own Aluminum tho? As mine is machined from real Aluminum! And then polished as you see it in the pics!

Let me know, Maybe something to discuss in PM?

It's amazing motor I need one for my jeep

LOL custom, Thats a LOT of motor for a Jeep LOL Would be cool no less!!!!! -Thanks!

Yes i think the chassis not resist the torsion

custom8 a écrit:Yes i think the chassis not resist the torsion

Custom,
Yeah, your probably right! The torque that engine produce would be enough to twist the frame like a pretzel!

Sadly, I even "beefed" up the frame already!

Well, a little more done to this build! I am slow going on the details as A LOT of it HAS TO BE well thought out as it really is A LOT going on, in such a small area, so things have to be placed as just so, to not hinder other details that are major pieces to the engine.... SO all takes time and a lot of thought going in, SO with that, I went one to get the plug wires in-place on the engine! In my last update with pics, you seen the Blowers on the inverted "V" Plenum, that whole sub-assembly was merely "setting there" for the pics, all mocked up for looks sake! So, having that HUGE Intake Plenum, with the Blowers, I had to apply the Distributors, and all the wiring for the plug wires, remember DUAL-PLUGS, meaning DUAL plug wires too! 2 Distributors, & 16 plug wires total had to be fished through the Plenum's Tunnel-Ram intake base! So, with that, I color coded, the wires, one Distributor has Red wires, and the other one has Black wires! BOTH Distributors were turned in my Unimat, and then polished, BEFORE the 2 of them were mounted to the drive plate under each of them! The holes for the plug wires was drilled AFTER the polishing stage to keep the "polishing Compound" from getting in the holes, and hindering the glue adhesion....
Then going forward, the front Distributor, has the red wires, and the rear Distributor has the Black wires! Meaning, the FRONT plug locations of EACH cylinder will be getting RED wires, the REAR plug location to each cylinder will be getting Black wires!
So with that all said, I began by running the closest wires, first.... The Black ones....


All nicely ran to their proper locations, and looks pretty "natural" laying.... I was pleased with this and kept going!
I went on to get the Red wires in-place to the proper locations on the engine....



LOTS of wires for merely one "type" of detail! I let 2 wires "loose" for the Coil, for each Distributor! I'll be running dual MSD ignition boxes to those Coils as well!
A little update, BUT a lot of miniature work! (I'm now focusing on the intake Plenum, and all the details that will be in and or around it.... Stay tuned, more will come as things are done (and pics are taken), as always Comments welcome, ENJOY!

total cute!!!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated! The intake set-up will be coming next for an update..... WAIT till thats seen!

Well now the details on the intake on this engine has been a mystery! All in itself, as I really was unsure of the direction, in to which I was taking it, or it was headed. Had no real direction actually, building it as I go.... With a little inspiration, and some aspects that I seen else where that I liked and then tied them all together into one... Thats pretty much what this is!
With that, looking at the Intake Plenum, with both Superchargers, and how its all going together, I needed to break up all that silver and shiny on this part, SO, I took and painted the "Ribs" of the Superchargers Hemi Orange, as well as the back of the Superchargers. THEN, on the side I added a "Label" to the engine, to match the color already in use!

I think that breaks it up nicely! Granted, this engine is NOT the same colors as the truck its going in, I made it "factory" colors" to that of the actual engine. As really in a build like this (even in real life) things would have to have been made custom for such a design (Even tho fictional) This engine needed realistic things done to it, in such a way to make it believable to be.
That word "HEMI" I plan to write in black "DOHC" in the Orange "H" where normally it would have "426" and then I will denote engine size else where on something else, possibly the side of the Turbo Plenums, or the sides of the BIG Supercharger style blower hat.

Did not do a lot of tu-tone painting on the front of the Plenum, there is going to be A LOT going on here anyway, so I really don't think it needs any breaking up of the colors.... As you'll see in future updates!

Rear plates of the Superchargers look pretty good! I like how they turned out with the Orange. The whole sub-assembly, looks good with just a little Orange added to it. As time goes on and things happen, there will be other colors added so, just a little here and a little there is all thats needed as you'll see, A LOT of detail is coming tho! I have drilled all the holes for adding the NOS piping to the Supercharger mounting lip! Thats to come! Stay tuned, more to follow, As always Comments welcome, ENJOY!

So as mentioned I was getting ready to do more detail to the Superchargers, whether that be the NOS piping or the start of the carburetors. I had to get to the point to have to sit and think what needed done FIRST so that I would not hinder the next detail and make detailing "difficult" SO, I went on to think how I was going to use/add the Carburetors.... This task was just that too a TASK.... I had to think what it take to make them happen, (I had already had those I wanted to use choose out, and painted, simply waiting in-line to be used!) BUT to that, how did I want them? You know? I mean looking at this whole set-up, it has a specific "feel" to it, doesn't it? I mean really, it looks and has that feel of a Mopar Cross-Ram, sort-of! SO, looking a bit further into it, a Mopar Sonoramic Commando type thing, without the Long-Arms and without all the compound "S" curves of the Ram runners that, the Sonoramic Commando has.... BUT it did have that feel to it. Or so it seems to me!

SO with that, as you all are aware of, I'm gonna be running four, 4 barrels carburetors, 2 per supercharger! SO, what I plan to do, is I took the Carburetors and did all the detailing drilling each needed. And then picked out what carburetor was going to have the "inside" effect, meaning throttle linkage, and such, was going to be places somewhat between the 2 carburetors! That signifies "inside" As the other or opposite Carburetor that would outward facing making it an "outside" carburetor.
With the above picture, I have 2 opposite corner Carburetors mounted, those 2 carburetors are the "inside" ones! WHY opposite corners? WELL, thats a good question! I ran them this way to have ALL the linkages running between the 2 sides! SO will not only run correctly, BUT the linkages will run like that of well...... a Sonoramic Commando Intake!! And or, a High-RPM "Cross-Ram" like the Ramcharger 426 Hemi had..... With just lengthened drive rods!

I think with all the details going into this, this will look GREAT!

As it seems this intake set-up just keeps growing..... Well yeah, sort of! The general "size" of it is done, but adding all the details to it makes it grow in size. I have yet to get all the carburetors in-place, as I got to get to the plumbing of them as well, BUT first, I had to get them situated in-place, on 2 of them to act as a counter so that the other 2 go in-place correctly, BUT before I can carry out the detailing work of the carburetors, I have to get ALL the top-side NOS piping in-place, so doing a bit of thinking things through, and doing some set-up to get the stage ready for the next detail, well.... That all showed me that what detail has to go on first so not to hinder the details to follow, it all has a specific "shopping order".

A pic from above a little over-view of the carburetor set-up....

SO then, with the opposite corner Carburetors in-place to stay to have them set the stage for the other 2, I seen in adding these, that when I go to detail, them, I would have to have the NOS pipe work already in-place BEFORE the carburetors can be detailed at all..... SO this got me thinking.... What was I gonna need to make this happen! The NOS system would need 2 manifolds for the NOS per supercharger! The lower inlet ports on the blowers lip. And then it need the upper ones just below the carburetors (a lot of times thats done with a plate the carburetors sit on!) SO, I thought, I'd get the lower NOS lines in-place that be the "inside" of them in the inverted "V" Intake Plenum. This pipe work will be added to the lower edge of the Superchargers, but run to the rear of the superchargers to keep a semi-symmetrical look going on.
In order to do this tho, I had to think of what I was going to use as a Manifold for the NOS.... Remember, there is 2 Superchargers, meaning twice the work, and to that, well.... EVERYTHING has to have a Left & Right version.... SO, having said this, the manifolds for the NOS? Theres no real detail made for those, nor if there was would I of all people have 2 of them, never mind having 4 of them! (This one engine would need 4 of them!) SO, having said that as I normally do, off to the scrap pile I go.... To see what I had that make a Manifold from, and then got to thinking a bit more into it, where, and how was I going to "mount" it? So I pulled materials to make the manifold from and then while looking for that strip stock, I got to looking for "L" angle thats a tad bigger then the material the manifolds would be made from.... I sat down and figured out in what way, the mount "L" angle was going to best suit the manifold, and then got to drilling the manifold, One manifold per edge, meaning 4 pipes to the Supercharger one to "feed" the manifold, & LOTS of fittings!


So I got it all figured out on how it was going to be, and made 2 manifolds with mount, painted them, and as soon as I could got the manifolds in-place to sit and dry so that the pipe work could begin!


Manifolds mounted inward of the 2 superchargers, And one NOS pipe with fittings in-place one adjacent from the other.

Once I got a rhythm going, I left 'er rip! Those pipes? Are NOT easy to make! WOW I mean, you want to have the looks I got here and believe me, It seemed to take forever..... BUT the end result? I'm VERY pleased with!

They're not 100% symmetrical from one side or the other, but from the looks they're close! I'm happy with them as they are!


This looks GREAT! I say that it was difficult to do, and it was, but I had fun making them all look as seen here! I'll also mention here, I used a different type wire for these! As the rest will also get as well, this is wire used for windings on a electric motor, on the Armature. The look of this made for a GREAT looking NOS piping set-up!

A shot without the bright flash of my camera.... The piping is DARK Orange/red in color almost an Anodized look to it, (Reason I picked it) and the size happened to be right for this! And one plus to it, was it was pretty easily to bend, so not a lot of pressure was needed to form each bend. The hard part, is making the bends in the right places!
Thanks for following along! Enjoy!

So in between times painting and gluing. I had a little down time to spare on and off on this build, and needed to keep busy and try to make a little progress, SO I sat out to see what other "details" needed added, painted, etc. So one part this engine is missing? The starter! I wanted this part to represent the high end and high torque starter that it would need to be.. NOT needing to be is the small one to not be "wrapped" with exhaust work, at least not this build!
So then I took it and went on to make it a High-Performance Starter....


Not to shabby I think it looks pretty good! (I have to say tho, the added red "Solenoid" makes it look the part, thats for sure!) -And really that added Red to a started is just a bit different for me..... But, I like it!
This is all for now! I'll have more as things happen and pics are taken! As always with my builds, comments welcome & enjoyed! Thanks for following along, ENJOY!

incredible !!!!!

post after post, your build becomes a true work of art
a true masterpiece



how I'd like to see it with my own eyes

A+

franck

Thanks Franck! Much appreciated! It be cool for others to see it as I do.... In person, because some of the stuff that I get pics of, the pics themselves don't give the item or part in it the true justice of a real "look"............you know? I have a couple models like that already that pics of the models just don't give the model the justice of what it truly is....

I try, to get pics that give that as much as it can, but 2D isn't nothing compared to 3D.....

As always what an amazing job especialy on the plumbing job
Like your other updates my eyes can't believe this silly job!!
RESPECT

Thanks Fred!!!!! Just think..... I have the OTHER side of BOTH blowers to do too, much the same as you see the plumbing in the TOP!

Hopefully, I can make the next round of NOS piping look as good as the one you see now!

Much appreciated, Thanks guys! More to come in a day or so.... (I'm working the plumbing on the other side of both blowers), so.... its a s-l-o-w process!

very nice job

Thank Gigi!!!! Much appreciated!
