Started this one last week end to fill in some wait time. Ed had started this one and I agreed to take it on. Haven't seen too many of these, so reference pics are few. Decided to use some of Ed's Halibrands to give it a little more period correct look. Inspiration by Donn Yost. ( The Old Man)

Screwed up the paint job on this one and had it in the Purple Pond for a few weeks. Resanded, primered and shot with Aztec Metallic Gold, then overshot with Testor's Transparent Blue. Also did some plumbin on the motor. Let it dry for a week and did a test fit. I believe, that's the last of the blue wire you gave me Gary and those are your MILLODON valve covers and yes, the throttle linkage looks like it may be from a stainless steel snare stick
