Finally, some more work by Jim Jeffries (JMJ Ohio)
-
1929 Ford Closed Cab Pickup with a 347 Ford engine
A WIP by Jim.
He noted that "Someone will comment that Ford did not produce a 347. That is technically correct. But Ford Racing and others offer this as a crate motor. It's a Boss 302 that is bored .030 over and has a +.400 stroke crank. It is used heavily in sportsman circle track racing and with the street rodding set. Works really well in an early 5.0 Mustang."
Some of Jim's renders of the engine
Wow, right? -
Mindblowing and SWEET work.
-
Incredible!
The engine renders are indistinguishable from actual photos, and the level of detail in all the models is remarkable.

I want to extend a special thanks to Steve for bringing me and my work back to the forum. The time and effort that he put into photo preparation, screen shots, narration and posting is deeply appreciated. Thanks Steve.
Mike, I don't consider myself a talented artist, more so a good technical illustrator. Machinery and product design was my primary occupation for many years. It's where I'm comfortable. I do a lot of research leading into and during a SketchUp project. I also use tons of construction geometry. For very complex parts I often create detailed multi view drawings in SU, turn them into groups or components and place them in the part to serve as templates. When it comes to organic surfaces, I fall on my face. If I can't describe something mathematically I start getting lost.
BTW, Steve's work is on my "A" list. I don't care if he stands on his head and works the keyboard with his toes to achieve it.Thanks everyone, it's good to be back.

Glad to have you back, Jim. However it's approached, work like this comes from the heart.
-
Welcome back, Jim. Good to see you here on the forums again. Thanks for the kind words, and I hope we will see much more of your amazing work here soon.
