I forgot I have a Black widow kit that I was planning to use the six from the 60 pickup kit to make the cheapest 57 made,I picked up three engines from the 55 Cameo kits Saturday and two extra now. I might end up with two more 55 engines as I have a 55 2 door sedan that will be getting a Revell parts pack Caddy engine and have a 55 convertible on the way so there could be four. I was more concerned about a oil filter then the mounts.

Working on the the 59 El Camino and wanted a small block,I ended up using one from the 55 Cameo which to the untrained eye is close but it does not have a oil filter on the block. In case I need another what kit would have a good stock version including a air cleaner and nothing in chrome.

Got color

I got this one in a box of parts missing the chassis. Instead of a 348 this one is getting a 283.

Getting closer to done

This was in the collection I picked up a few years ago and now time to restore,it's rough and had a few coats of paint on it. Will try to paint it a original color or something close.

The bezels will be on a NOS chrome tree.

I can get the bezels but not the lense.

I got looking through my parts and found a truck 4 speed from a Moebius kit.

I am going to be building a mid 50s F600 or lager truck and wondering what is available,a semi trans will be too big and a car trans will be too small.

Getting closer,this one is made from mainly 60s parts except for the fenders from the green 70s version.

Most likely will use a FE and make it look like it got a engine swap,the FT came out in 64 and to the untrained eye looks like a FE as one fooled me years ago.

If I do it I will use early FE parts to make it work.

I have one of the Lincoln engines from the T kit in my hands and it looks more like a MEL engine then the Y block with the 56/57 Mark style valve covers,the engine from the T kit has a place for a front mounted distributor where the Y block its in the rear like the Ford Y blocks. The MEL resembles the big truck Super Duty engines so I could make it look like one where it was swapped in after the Y block worn out.

Planning on building a mid 50s F600 or larger truck and those had the Lincoln engine and wondering if one was ever made,most likely will just use the Ford Y block but would be nice if a Lincoln engine was made.

64 Dodge,just waiting for a chrome pen with a smaller tip so I can finish it. Those two 40s came close to going on the trash.

Those wheels were what I thought of so they had to have came with kits made after 1966.

I used them on my 40 Ford sedan made into a hard top and I have never seen them before,I presume they came in the 60s parts I got a couple years ago

In the bunch of 60s parts I picked up were a coupe and sedan bodies that were made into hard tops and came close to being thrown out. Both were not in great shape and far from perfect but I was able to save them.

Looks great and it seems like every ,60s build has all the extras glued on.

I think I am going to use these hubcaps.

It has color

Paint is coming off.
