I'll be watching. LOL.....yea, I'm running out of room for my stash and wanted to get a few out of the way so I can buy some more. This one will be slow as the weather has got too cool for me to stay in my work shed for very long. Hope to get it painted this in a few days.

bluestringer Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 I was going for a burgundy/maroon. Used Createx Transparent Deep Red over a black base. Think I need to put on another coat. Have not put on the clear yet, should look ok after I get it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Looking online at images of this 4.6L Ford engine, it looked like the plugs were at the top of the heads. I hope that's correct, that's the way I ran the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinGardens Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Except for the fact that your coil pack drilling/routing is a bit off; good start. Yes, the 4.6 SOHC has both the plugs and injectors at the top of the head (and located pretty much beside each other in both 1:1 and in scale); same with the 3V 4.6L of 2005-2010 GTs. Your upper intake tract and lower intake plenum are correctly colored; the only tip to scale accuracy is dull both (the lower is thermoformed plastic and is semi-gloss Black on its' best day). Valve covers and Power steering reservoir are looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drilling those little coils packs was a chore, did the best I could. I still need to do some touch up painting. The instructions did call for semi-gloss black on the lower plenum but I just used what I had. I may can dull it down some with some dullcote, but I'm not really going for precise accuracy, just wanted the wires to end somewhere close to plugs.
