Thanks Tom.
Got the headers pin mounted. Replaced to oil breathers with nicer units from HRM.
Drilled out the molded screen on the intake trumpets, might leave them open or install real screen later.
I've seen builders use these for hose fittings and they look great, what size(s) work best for models? How do the sizes work - is #10 bigger or smaller than #11?
Now that the go-kart is readily available it would be nice the have some aftermarket parts for this great little kit. I don't have the expertise or CAD software to design the parts but more than willing to help with research and recommendations. Any one interested?
Thanks for the comments gentlemen. Ricky, the kit has it shortcoming to be sure. My goal was a simple build focused more on the look and less on the last detail.
Won this recently re-issued MPC kit in a raffle. My inspiration for the build was the JDM Legends shop truck.
Added the Go-Kart from the recently issued '60 Chevy pickup.
Here is the build thread on both the pickup and Go-Kart.
