You have a busy bench indeed! Looking forward to what you do with that in-line power plant.

Yes sir. Just trying to get caught back up on builds now that work has stabilized a little!

OK! Now I am all caught up. I do enjoy seeing new life being breathed into old kits. Build on!

Cheers

Thanks for checking it out. I found a chrome tree at the bottom of the box last night that I had missed so I dropped that in stripper this morning. That’s my update. It had the plumbing for the top of the engine. Back on this soon.

I somehow missed this one, Kyle. I am bookmarking now, can’t wait to see the show.

Thanks for joining! It is a very slow moving show, as we only have 70 horsepower and the car is quite heavy!!

Bit more engine work. Various shades of copper, brass and gold are used here as well as some dark iron and burnt metal. A touch of chrome for the plug wire looms. I’ll also be oiling this stuff down as you know it leaked oil everywhere. Trying to decide on a color to paint the thing now. Perhaps a darker red/maroon as an homage to the original but not the bright red of the box art.

Progress is continuing on in good fashion here Kyle and this is going to be one big car when it's all said and done buddy. Love the engine detailing and wear and tear going on here.

[brandonk]

You planning on making this one run? Goodness!

[bakster]

Very cool project, Kyle. Engine work and paint looking excellent.

Nice progress on the engine block and a good basis to work on further.

Thank you very much!! Slow but it’s never far out of my mind. I’m enjoying this one.

Thank you! We just need to find some of my buddy Paul’s scale gasoline and we’ll give it a shot. lol
