Irish Setter Red Poodle!! Nice. My mother was a poodle breeder and helped develop that color. The first dog my wife and I got after getting married was a standard Poodle in Irish Setter Red. Beautiful and intelligent breed!!

I’m off to a new scratch build part . I never done anything like this before . I see Nigel and Hendie do some amazing builds .

So Im going build a basic engine from 0 … I know this wont be 100 percent correct . But I just want to get out of the box look .

I will start this later today . I have some other things to do .

Enjoy

Rick

below is the engine …

infofrog · December 13, 2015, 4:22pm

I started the prep work on the engine cover and door .

Here is the engine cover 2 parts . With no engine . I mock this part up . Cut the door out , then I had to glue the 2 cut parts together. This made the door .

I added rib supports to the inside door panel

Enjoy
