Meant to post this when I started it 2 months ago. I will try to post the photo's in order of compleation...... or mistakes! ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/43c3r6opb/DSCF0014.jpg) After getting the wheels mounted I discovered the frame was "tweeked" a bit. ( The drivers side front wheel was a scale foot off the ground.) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/polrsjatr/DSCF0022.jpg) Cant decide if I'm going to Chrome any of the trim.... but I did add some Chrome to the firewall. It just looked too bland. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/6rz3buu8f/DSCF00101.jpg) The following pict. are after I HAMMERED the frame back into shape. Not the kits fault...... totally mine. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/qc910w5fz/DSCF00022.jpg) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/9tla82hzj/DSCF00031.jpg)

After adding the Blower to the motor I thought it was a bit too big (out of scale?) So I switched to the kit supplied Velocity stack's ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/dneqh7zbj/DSCF00061.jpg) I also added the spark plug wires. This photo shows my second attempt. I first used a scale size wire that looked like crap. I glued the wires in from the underside of the valve covers. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/48u3pgh3j/DSCF0024.jpg) I had some trouble with the fuel tank. My first try I wanted the tank the same color as the body with the mounting bracket's in Chrome. But the masking tape didnt co-operate and the Chrome bleed through. so I preped 4 tanks for round 2. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/dedzn7ogf/DSCF00023.jpg) I also decided to use the driver figure. Added what I think is a period correct logo to his shirt. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/syuk58dcf/DSCF00073.jpg) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/lhc5yj91r/DSCF00082.jpg) He still need's some work. The kit didn't supply a fuel pump so I scratchbashed one from bit's in my junk box. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/nibwaujyn/DSCF00012.jpg) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/g4wibvzwv/DSCF00043.jpg) Oh yea..... almost forgot the interior shot's. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/aehb7lpxr/DSCF0012.jpg) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/90pocaqof/DSCF0013.jpg)

Sorry guy's. I totally forgot I was posting this WIP here. The kit supplied distributor was "lame", so I cobbled together my own Magneto using two different sizes of Evergreen tubing. The electronic's box on the side is a Square strip of Evergreen. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/4klello4v/DSCF000711.jpg) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/j3sjn0ozj/DSCF000811.jpg) Top of Magneto trimmed and Electrical box painted. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/sbks3q3rj/DSCF000910.jpg) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/gmgsfrkin/DSCF001011.jpg) Still need to get a decal on the box, and make some wire loom's for the spark plug wires. Got a bit more done to the driver... ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/i1id4g3lb/DSCF00143.jpg) ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/cdc2dk6yn/DSCF00152.jpg) The shirt is a scale 2 inches thick ! ( Look's like he's wearing a "bulky sweater" ! ) There are a few detail's on him that are thick ,and need some work..... like the goggle's... ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/5zmzaamn3/DSCF00136.jpg) He kinda look's like an "Alien invader" from Bugaloo planet. I'm planning on tinting the goggle's Transparent Blue. ( Wont help the Bugeye problem tho ... Also got the fuel pump Chromed. ![](https://s25.postimg.cc/3v2m97dan/DSCF00129.jpg) Hoping to get some time this weekend to "button it all up". Don't know if I'm going to be able to get the figure "sanded down to scale". ( Should I just cram a gearshift through the roof and "stuff"him in... ? )

Lookin' good so far Timmy. Engine looks great and the spark plug wires have a good and natural "lay" to them. Awesome work man.
