Truley a master craftsman.could you inagine the inside of the tranny? un beleiveable!
Check this one out... it's not as impressive as the Ferrari,, but considering this guy did it himself.. Conley was the first to do this size in a v8 to the best of my knowledge. http://www.streetrodding.com/index.cfm/f/forums.getThread/id/27361 ENJOY!

That Ferrari is amazing.
The Conley guys have been around for a while. They do 1/4 scale stuff. Their first V8 engine was all machined on a mill. Their new stuff is cast. Their engines are actually 4 stroke diesels using glow plugs. I saw their booth at a Viper Show in Vegas years ago when they came out with a 1/4 scale Dodge V10.

That Ferrari 312PB is a FABULOUS model. A reduced scale fully functional race car. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Cheers!

Is anyone on the boards small enough to drive this? That would be fun. Instead of building another one he should build a shrinking ray. If anyone could do it...this guy could.
Very Kool...this guy was driven for this one. Incredible that he even took on the project but, to actualy complete it...Woah!

I first saw that video about a year ago. I copied and saved it then. That is the most amazing piece of model engineering I have ever seen. I also heard it was sold on e-bay last year. It sold for more than than a new BMW 7 series.

Um, I was more interested in some of the goofy cartoons/jokes/stupid pictures in the right column.
Sorry I'm simple, but I smile easy, its a stress reliever.

Incredible stuff!! Someone had way too much free time. Whats more scary is the engine actually sounds like a juiced up 70's ferarri.

I'd like to see him find someone small enough to drive it. :) Sweet build! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

RR, you're right, wonder if there is some Tom Thumb size guy somewhere who is left out of much of the stuff we all take for granted - driving that would make up for some of it, huh? Just incredible work, wonder what else that guy is capable of?
