WOW!!! That stance is killer!!

Thanks for the replies Tom and Rex!! The cals that I'll be looking for are on the front side of the rocker cover like this:

I've got a Boss 302 engine build ongoing but don't have the "Boss 302" decal for the rocker covers. It doesn't have to be the whole decal sheet but if anybody has this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Ya know MIke....that turned out pretty dang good potna!! Sorry for not looking in more on the actual build but the finish is just great man.

That Nova chassis is such a good base to work with in Pro Streeting or making a drag car out of almost any given subject. It seems to fit like a glove. Nice work so far.

On this one yes but on most builds I slide some spark plug wire boots onto the wires.

Thanks Steve. I also adopted your engine wiring harness technique on my latest build. Worked like a charm.

Thanks. I understand the connection part, just have a hard time finding anything smaller than the 32 gauge I use for spark plug wire, especially with any color to it.
Thanks for the description as well. I am going to have to go scrounging for wire. You have inspired me to do more detail on my next engine.
Here's the spark plug wire that I use Joe. Some folks use different stuff but this is what works for me. Lex's Scale Modeling Ignition Spark Plug Wire 5 Pack 1/24-25. | eBay

Got the parts all cut out for the next portion of this build which will be equally as fun to put together as the engine was for me. There'll be a few changes in here.

I'm not one for conversions or custom front ends and all that BUT.....I AM one to admire great body work when I see it and mister.,...this is looking GOOD!!! Amazing efforts on working those parts in.

This week has been pretty busy for me, I hope to find the time today to get a little more done.

I know all about it bud. I've got so many things in line to do that I'll never see the true end of it. Crazy. Looking forward to more on this one.

I've noticed that the temperatures in Canada are in 50's and it's been a little damp with humidity at around 75%. This could be some of your problems with the paint if your painting in an enclosed space like a garage where the humidity can wreak havoc on paint. Do you have a paint booth as of yet Declan?

MAN that looks good JR!!!

Beautiful work on the dash, the 8-Track is a nice touch.
The interior looks great so far. The gold seats are way cool, I had forgotten that gold vinyl was a thing back then. That looks like embossing powder on the floor. If so, what did you use for an adhesive? I have trouble getting mine to lay that smoothly.

Ultimate detailing Steve. I had the same question that ol' Dave here had. Please elaborate on your carpeting process.

Wow, what the heck gauge wire did you use for that alternator wiring? All the extra wiring detail looks amazing.
I keep whatever scrap wire I can find Joe. In this case I used a strand of four wires from a piece of automotive electrical wiring and kind of twisted it all together except for the last inch or so of the strand which I separated out into four different leads. I painted coat after coat of semi gloss black onto the twisted together part to simulate a black electrical tape wound harness and painted the ends different colors and routed them to where they were supposed to go. I can elaborate more on it if you'd like.

Love that color, and still amazed at how well detailed and accurate that 312 is. You sure are making it "pop"
I'll second that!! This is looking great Ray!!! That is one big model man.

Dang it Dan!!! That turned out great bro.

Finished the engine up this morning aside from a wingnut that I have to fabricate and put on the air cleaner.
Glamour shots before she gets tucked away till a later part of the build.
It's pretty close to my original 351W that I had waaay back when:

Jim, your great with detail, wonderfully done. Nice touch on the fan..
Thanks Carl. It's Joe my brutha. 😉

I think I'd be in the same boat with you not knowing which way to go Dave. Looking good so far and really like the Continental piece on the decklid.

So nice to see smoothly flowing plug leads!

Thanks Alan. I didn't want to overdo it with the plug wire boots. Too much and they look clunky.
