Ira... I am loving it. I love those fins you added to it. my first thought was some of those crazy cars over in Japan like that. The fins just go together great on this build. Adds even more life to what you have already done.

Thanks for the kind words Chris!

Ira, far be it from me to tell the master of the cartoon builds what to do with their builds but what do you think about a bubble instead of a flat glass for the moon roof ? Just an idea, you know best.

MORE ENGINE DETAILS...


I Finished the Engine!


The metal screen adds a nice bit of Texture...



I applied several small decals for fun!



I modified one of the Ferrari Valve Covers and mounted it on the front of the engine. Then I added Metalic String to the spark plugs...

BiG SCREEN TV!!!

I found this TV in a 64 Impala kit. It had Rabbit Ears and an AMT Ad on the screen. I left off the back of the TV and cut off the Rabbit Ears. Then I cut down the Dashboard and the back of the TV, for a tight fit and glued it in place!

Thanks for the suggestion Ray!
