Its a revival of this lovely gal. I have been inspired by Brets build. Harvesting of parts has started, kits are in the mail.

Proof of concept for the body rings

What is the general consensus on the centerblock dimensions. I blew this diagram up to specs stated and took my dims from it.

Are these trimmed from a deck part on the Junyo. Also does anyone have spart parts from the old tool shinano?

I had to cut a new main tube I shellacked the first up. I mount all my SS models using 1/4-20 camera mounts. Now I can start truing up the blocks of abs that will make the center block.

One step at the time and looking sharp

I think they’re the same mold repackaged with different naming over the years.

A look at my simplified excel sheet. Orange indicates the kit ihas been authenticated, white is not all dupes are in my stash yet.

Still gathering parts, I have made a few new friends in the process. Body tubes will be engraved by one a pro.. I want to thank everyone who has lent a hand ( info and parts) This is the best part of building making friends and passing parts around.

Awesome that you’ve got that group of parts together. Looking forward to seeing this come together!

You're off to a great start! Let's get cracking'!
