Really pleased , very hard to photograph as it's a clear resin .

Tried an FDM print , it's in polycarbonate, not nearly as detailed reproduction but not bat , it's got exhaust pipes , ,carburettors and pulleys , I have a distributor designed but not printed yet . I need to move the mounting for it as it sits just a bit too low , easy to do .

Getting there with the engine , I'll post a few pictures of the previous model on the car but this version has the fan housing , is moved 2.5mm back and 2mm up , it still will protrude out the back too far but if i went with real life dimensions half the engine would be gone including the fan housing and it would look equally crap ... Previous version fitted .

Doing what I think us the final engine print , moved it in another two mm from the one shown here , also now it has working head and tail lights courtesy of Silvertripple , thanks Mark .

You're welcome my friend... The light is really adding something

Finally happy with the placement and design of the engine , i need to reprint the exhausts as the support moved so the pipes look funky.

Been remodelling the driver figure , gone is the button up shirt of the traditional Marlbro Man driver figure , now it's skinny arms in a T-shirt.

New brain pan and a lick of paint . Rather pleased with how it's going . Since Shaggy quit Mysrery Incorperated and no longer has to do all the running from ghosts , specters , creepers etc the dope and diet have caught up with him .

Zoiks!

That's awesome. I know it's Shaggy but for a moment I thought of Speed Buggy. Both Hanna-Barbera creations.

The very last piece of the puzzle , an illuminated dashboard. He's going 0mph , your only ever going to be able to read the speed when he's stationary !

Very nice details! The spark plug wires really add something to the look of the engine!

A few final pictures to shamelessly boost my BOTM score to one vote "Isn't this where"
