Thanks Buck...That dash looks like it needs a little "touch-up". The Camera sure lets us know...don't it...LOL...
I really like purple too Brizio...The Body will be purple/white and maybe a Gold separating line..at least that's the plan right now anyway..... ;D

Thanks Dave....I think I might have it ready for the Renton Show.Sure has been a labor of love Gary. Lookin good! Hey Bruce....you're right my friend. This Build has been a GREAT challenge. I've really enjoyed what building in this scale has to offer in terms of patience and staying true to scale.
The chassis is on it's feet and the only thing left to make is the racing Harness..the rear view mirror. I'll get that finished today(maybe...lol) and get the motor in so the headers can be finished. After I get the Motor in the chassis permanently...I'll shoot more update pics.

Thanks Brizio....Right now I'm wiring the engine. I'm in the process of doing 90 degree boots on the plug wires. I just fabbed a coil and strapped it on the left front of the head. It's wired and waiting for the rest of the plug wires. The fuel lines from the fuel block to each bowl on the carb is up next. The upper and lower radiator hoses are made and ready to go on. I'll shoot pics of the finished engine soon.

Well...the engine is in and ALL the plumbing and primary wiring is finished. The secondary wires will be added tomorrow. Here are a few pics of the engine before and after. I put a Quarter next to it in one shot to get a feel of the scale of this little guy. click to enlarge....

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm in the process of RE-BUILDING the front Nerf bars. They needed a little shortening and as I was working on them...they kind of broke...LOL soooo...I have to build a new set for the front. I just might shoot them chassis color. A lot of the Modified's did use chassis color instead of chrome. Cheeper for one...easier to repaint for another..... but..it don't look as cool! I still might Alclad it... One thing is for sure though....this body is ready for the white primer. I need to get the Decals laid out too. That will come after all paint is on...This week...hopefully..
