I wondered if you'd be able to stay completely away from your comfort zone while working on the Brad Mence! Nice progress on this one.

Thanks chaps.
Decision has been made to 'park' this one for a while. The colour / combinations are really clouding the whole build so until I'm totally happy with my colour plan, I see little point in continuing.
I will resurrect this when I'm totally clear on the look I want to achieve.
Thanks for following chaps and special thanks to Jeff for providing so much inspiration.
I'll be back...

All is good mate, it's such a great subject that I'm certainly not abandoning it.
I'm sure something shiny will come along to take its place...

Thanks chaps.
Engine is underway and a tiny prewired distributor arrived a few days back so all is good. Instructions call for the engine to be painted gold which seems unusual but hey, I like the sound of it so that's what it gets!
Back soon.

Hello chaps. As promised, an update. Engine is pretty much sorted with the help of an aftermarket pre wired distributor. Nice little unit although I may need to trim the HT leads a touch before fitting in the engine bay. Thanks!
