Nice Build !

Awesome job !

Wow ! Just amazing John ! What park did you take the photos at it looks very familiar.

That's one Cool Monster of a puller !

I wasn't sure if I was going to install the rear seat but I decided I was so I scratch built the rear panel for the rear seat and also made some small panels for the floor where the rear seat sits so it would sit level because after tubbing her the rear seat was pushed up a bit towards the front seat back. I also finished up where I cut and grafted in the rear tub by scratch building small tunnel panel to attach to the back half which all it needs now is to be sanded a bit smoother then shoot some primer on her.After looking a little more closely at the rear seat I will now attempt to remove the rear armrests and relocate them so they are in the correct place since the rear seat has been moved up do to the rear tubs.

Steve McQueen movie out one night only Sept 28 which is a documentary on his life I already have tickets and most of theaters are sold out. Anyone else going ?

Just finished up adding three small strips of styrene to the top of the air cleaner so now the air cleaner is finished with the exception of paint and the material for the actual filter.

Thank you Anthony !

Ephesians 6 10:20

Worked on the air cleaner assembly this evening & was not sure how i was going to finish this up so I added another piece of flat .40 styrene and removed the colored area where the carbs will sit plus it gives me a bit of a foundation to add the 1/32 strip that will give the depth of the filter and also a way to secure the top of the air cleaner to the bottom half. So now that I have finish building the assembly I'm debating on adding small styrene strips to the top of the assembly to give a bit of a custom look or to just leave it nice and smooth.

Nice Work John !

Thank you Todd !

Made a little progress today on the air cleaner assembly and I was able to finish the cover so next will be to scratch build the inner support and also come up with the actually filter. I also scratch built the carb venturi's today and have them installed into the carbs so next will be a little primer then some paint.

Wow ! Awesome craftsmanship going on here.

Thank you all for the encouraging comments ! Got in a few hours today on this build which I started to scratch build the air cleaner assembly and I was able to finish the bottom portion of the assembly so next will be the top then after the top assembly is finished then I will smooth out all the edges to make the ends round and I also add a few styrene strips on the top to give it a custom look. Thanks for looking thats all for now !

I got the carbs venturies drilled & holes drilled for the fuel lines plus they are in primer now and I still have some clean up to do on the manifold. I also got the valve covers shot with clear black and they are also drilled for the spark plug boots and plug wires.

Awesome John !

Thank you Gene ! I have chosen to use the Holley Dominators carbs since they look to be in scale to the high rise manifold. I have started to detail them a bit by drilling out the venturies and I will also drill out holes for the fuel lines that will be ran.

Thank you Wayne, David & John !

I was able to get a little work in this evening on this build and after looking at the high rise manifold I decided that it looked a little to high so I cut off about a 1/8" off to shorten it a bit then I also sanded down about 1/16" underneath where the carbs would sit on top.Then I made a small plate to put in between the top half and bottom of the manifold so it would look more uniform which now you can see the difference in the height in the last picture of the last post and the picture in this post which to me looks a lot better.

Thank you John !

Few mock up photos with the high rise on and trying to decide which carbs to use . Chrome Revell Kit Carbs ,Barry Grant Demon Carbs or Holley Dominator Carbs ?
