How To Detail an Engine 

Any time my friend, glad to help in any way

Yeah, that was a great tip. I think I'll use some small paper clips, and when done spraying stick them into a small piece of Styrofoam to hold them while drying.

Thanks man

Thank you Dwayne

Thanks bro

Thanks bro, glad you like it, after this one my detailing improve a lot, practice and more practice make the difference

@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 your welcome practice and doing it often helps a lot question for the AMT models do you use Testers cement compound?

Yes I use testors but in my last build I’m using tamiya thin cement and 5 minutes epoxy, so far work a lot better

@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 okay thanks for the tips.

Thanks bro, glad you like it, you can do it, you should see my firsts engines, they’re not even close to this one, I can do it, you can do it man, and I’m still in learning process and new tip every week for me

@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 Thanks for the inspiration man. I'll keep at it!

N.Y.S MODELING awesome Dylan...

Thanks David

LOL thanks Steve, thanks for stopping by bro

On this one yes, just because the distributor is on the manifold

Thanks man

Thanks Richard for your awesome support man, glad you liked bro

True North Models whaaaaat, LOL, no problem bro, glad to help in any way...

Thanks John, but unfortunately I don’t know the gage of that wire, I get it on Michael’s for $3.00 and so far I used on all my build and am not even half way, and I used for hinges too, fuel lines, body clips, radiator brackets mounts, etc, very handy

Ok thank you so much @@marcosfernandeznanita7150 !

Thanks for stopping by, yes I did airbrushed the block but the transmission was hand painted, I like how this project turned out

ok

You’re welcome my friend

That’s a good question man, I never thought of that

Thanks Mike, yes man, if you want I can send some on Monday

That would be awesome! Are we still going to the auction on the 22nd? Did you get my form? If so I can just grab some from you then, and if not do you still have my address? Thx. bro!

Mark Forster yeas, I mix the silver and the blue, cake out really close as the original color

Thank you my friend, glad you like it, well thank cam say I have a new set of magnifying glasses and they are amazing, I can nor see well at close and with those that can see everything now, cost me 16.00 on amazing and they even came with a LED light, very cool

Hello my friend, you can go to Michael’s or Home Depot and get wires 30 gages and you can find them I. Many colors, Olson you can go to amazing or eBay and get a bunch for like 8 dollars and that will last forever and try to see if they are flat color without gloss, they look more realistic, any other question feel free to ask

@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 Thank you 👍🏻

I appreciate the help....When placing seats on the floorpan...There is just a single reference line, does that line up with the front or the back of the seat itself

@@MrFlabbybeast that all depends of the kit, sometimes is the front and sometimes is the back of the seat, just put it in place and see if stay steady, is not changed the placement

Well man, on this project I did used a lot of wires, but those are 30 gage crafting wired, they are easy to bend and super handy to shape any way you want, you can get them at Michael's

@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 Did they come pre-coloured, or did you have to paint them yourself? Unfortunately in Australia, so no Michael's for me.

@@mattcollett2098 No worries my friend, they come like that, well in your case i think you can go to Ebay and get them with more color then you think, low cost

Fantastic building man, can I ask what glue you recommend for the wiring

Thanks for the support man, back then i used super glue, but now i'm using 5 minutes epoxy which better

It’s aro nd there Sammy

Thanks for watching man, sorry I didn’t mentioned that, I used a real small drill bit and put the wire around it until I got the shape that I wanted, I’m doing a more detail video of detailing an engine explain how to do it, not just showing how it looks, thanks for stopping by

Wat size drill bit do u use for the engine detail? I want to try it out I got 28 gauge wire for the cap and plugs wat else do I need?

You need 0.75 drill bit and 30 and 32 gages wires for other details like alternator and starter

Do u have a video on detailing a 64 impala engine? And thanks very much, much appreciated

well man, actually no, I don't have a video on a 409 engine, I only tuck pictures of the one a build but I think they don't look detail as I wanted, but if you like send me an email to tortugakustomz@gmail.com and i'll send you HD pics of it, let me know if anything bro

Yes Sammy, with a 0.075 drill bit from Habor

Marcos Fernandez Nanita I have drill bits that are number like this #48, #49 etc. . What number would 0.075 be?

The wires are from 26 to 32 gages, for the distributor is 30 gage

😂 bueno hermano eso quisiera yo, pero lamentablemente vivo en un apartamento pequeño el cual no tiene mas lugar donde yo pueda trabajar mi carros, pero en cuanto pueda conseguiré un espacio para yo tener mi hobby room para mi solo, creo q esa es de las razones q mi modelos no quedan mejor todavía LOL

Para mi, me gustaría tener una oficina por mis pasatiempos, o mejor un ‘shed’ separado de la casa, pero también me gustaría tener los carros verdaderos en vez de modelos. No tengo el dinero por los carros y tampoco por un espacio dedicado. Mi reto no son niños, son gatos traviesos quien les gustaban robar las partes más pequeñas.

Thank you, and yes, shouldn’t be like that, but back then I was more a rookie making details 😂, now this days I pay a little bit more attention

Si, disculpa la tardanza en responderte, es que casi no eh entrado a ver cómo va el canal, casi no eh tenido tiempo últimamente

@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 Hola... gracias por responder.. Soy de Argentina.. no cuento con mucha información en español. Quería consultarte cual es tu técnica para envejecer los modelos y darle ese aspecto de viejo y oxidado. En youtube hay varias maneras, pero bueno.. no sé cual es la mas fácil. Aqí no hay un gran mercado de accesorios y pinturas. Tampoco consigo el kit de Tamiya que se utiliza para eso. Bueno.. gracias y muy buenos tus trabajos !!!

Flavio Paparella muchas gracias por contar conmigo pero en realidad nunca eh realizado un envejecimiento aún, tengo planes para hacerlo con un Gasser q quiero hacer, pero ese proyecto no lo haré hasta el año que viene, de todas las técnicas la más fácil supuestamente es la que se hace con sal y es con esa que quiero hacerlo, lamentablemente en nuestros países no tenemos tantos recursos como aquí en Estados Unidos, yo estuve en argentina por 3 semanas hace unos 20 años, pero de todos modos trata en eBay para buscar el Kit de tamiya, yo lo compre ahí y aunque aún no lo eh usado lo tengo todo planeado, y gracias por el apoyo, trata de subir un video con tu projyecto a ver cómo va, de seguro encontrarás personas q hablan español también, ah por sierro, tengo varios seguidores que hablan español también y se ellos si han hecho ese tipo de trabajo y ellos te pueden ayudar por que son ellos los que me están ayudando con ese futuro proyecto, de todos modos mándame un email para que nos pongamos en contacto por las redes sociales en las que estoy involucrado que también conseguirás muchas información allí ( tortugakustomz@gmail.com ) y así nos pondremos en contacto, espero tu respuesta

LOL you know what, my hands are super unstable, I have to hold my breath for a moment and try hard not to move
