sweet !!

cooL ! looks great !

whow that red , the shine and cleanness overall > awsome

sweeett !!!!

i see .. whell i still feel removing the pillar will make it look better .. also would mean you could do like a few decals along the bottom lines of the glass .. ?

immediately sanded and rusted the aircleaner house , matches so nice with the rest ties in the engine with the rest now

haha thnx joe !!! whell last update tomorrow i'm of to a hotel with my wife , just got back from a nice steak dinner , today is our 12 1/2 years anniversary (married) so tomorrow chilling in a hotel at sea !!! with spa , pool , beach , forrest ... hmmzzz but i got back from dinner and looked at the engine and thought hmm the weathering doest look right , didnt like the dark metal coat anymore ... so i got the paint out and redid the green on the block , made the dark metal coat silver ...put the belts and pulleys on .. then took the chrome inlet manifold and washed that heavely for depth and desided to keep the single carb set up (engine was like this from the kit) gearbox and drive shaft silver (yes i know tranny is a bit small but i already have some space issues grille axle and wheels already sit further forward then i really wanted then what to do on the carb ... i love those quirky airschoops / filer housings .. i had a cool one that actually fitted like a glove .. made a spacer so it sits up higher and so later you can see the carb still and the fuell lines etc . i will put on there on top i glued a ford hubcap .. but !! i think that will come of and i will make the filter scoop rusted like the body and grille .. could be cool ! and the fake mesh opening i will keep and wash that with black

thnx , thnx .... just polished the alu firewall just a tad ... so it reflects the engine a bit .. i dont want it to shiney .... and a rough mockup with the front wheels and grille ... i will have to make the wheelbase a bit longer then i actually want but i have to with this engine

thnx thnx started on a engine .. the revell v8 is pretty small so i took a v8 from a nascar ford thunderbird (monogram) i use that entire kit for parts on several builds nice big engineblock and with those massive rear wheels it more in balance .. a flathead or small block would look too tiny painted the block blue/green (very mild tone) like the scallops .. dark metalcoat on the oilpan , transmission and driveshaft ... p/e licenseplateholder with a joke , it says showtime hahaha ... the dark metalcoat it still needs a second polish to get more metal gloss on it .. but it alkso depends on how light hits it , with daylight it really shines metal-ish

very very nice !~!!

how stock or original do you want to keep it ? in terms of i feel it would be cool to remove the pillar in the back side opening and just make that one window opening ?

cool !!

hmm very very nice , love that engine bay !!

thnx guys

nice!

cool !!

thnx guys ... but here are some daylight / outdoor shots .. these just show how it looks so much better then the night time bench shots made some dark spots in the rust on the grille shell

thnx tonight i started with giving the rims a wash with black .. more depth and less sterile then gave the grilleshell a first coat of rust and the grill insert is a mix of dark metal coat and then polished with a black wash to imitate aluminium and then i knew it .. the problem where the white walls .. sooo white against the rust and brown .. so i washed them with oil paint to get the tone more to the body in the front i gave it a even wash .. so its more a tone , the rears have a effect more like filth

very very cool !!

i would say if you love them and would want to build then > build them .. if you think i'd rather build xxxxxx then sell them for a profit and buy new kits and build those personally i would have no problem building a rare kit or valueable kit and even would hack up a body

cool stuff !!

great details !! looking great

well i made axles for the rear wheels , drilled open the rear axle and rim and now i can put on and remove the wheels when needed .. the position needs some tweeking (camber) on the bottom iput some gold on the brake booster and 2 decals (acle and fluid reservoir) .. later i will add more detail on the bottom ... i could just make some pics outside (was going dark) .. outside pics show the tones and rust way more like irl .. on the bench pics look less like irl .. the chassis pics are quit clear but when i put it on the wheels it was going dark outside quick so they are less bright ... for now it sits up on the lift ...
