[Bill Hincher]

how are you going to start? well I need a datum line and what better place to start then to cut an engine in half and begin the build, the first step to a long journey starts with the first step, DO IT NOW!

the starter needed to be located and mounted, in this case I used a reverse starter location to aviod the steering linkage and get ground clearance

after a LOT of snading and sanding and SANDING, the molding is done
I keep using the datum lines to keep it straight, its a long process

the numbers for the machine work was gathered before the tear down of the build, so I can cut the blot holes using the CNC bridgeport

Those 6g motors sure are hefty bastards! Great work, I need some of your skills for my 3g 4g64 bell housing adapter!

Hi Bill

Glad to see your magic, I am very familiar with all your work from Project Zero, read all your posts in it, and made a couple suggestion to you before,

For the members in this forum that may not be familiar with your work all I can say is, THIS MANS WORK IS AWESOME.

This is the first time I see a post from you on this forum, I most certainly read the others like right now,

Anyways a belated welcome to you and your work.

yes it is, for those of us going 4GRWD

 

[DSM Jeff]

Found the website. You've been very busy. Think I have some idea's brewing for my blazer.

 

[turboglenn]

I"ve always been thankfull that you are out there building your Bell HOusings for the 4G63 and the other engines/trannies you work with. And although i haven't gotten to it yet i've always planned on a 4g63 powered, small RWD roadster as my ultimatelittle "kit car"

It's guys like you that have the means as well as the drive to make these parts that really help fuel and keep the mitsubishi racing game alive and well... thanks again for all you do Bill, we need more people like you!
