  1. It's done. It took longer then I thought because I didn't like the big gap between the motor and the firewall, so I moved it around.
  2. Excellent work.
  3. It will be a while before I I get to this one, but I'll open it up in a day or two and post some pictures of it.
  4. I should be back on this one next week. I tried to fix the the body and haven't checked it out yet, but if it didn't work I'll finish it the way it is.
  5. I'm back from vacation and will post finished pictures so. As said above I don't know Ford motors very well, and trusted the instructions. It's too late to change it now but I will file it away. I have another one waiting for a kit to use it on and may buy a few more in the future. The same same goes for the front wheels. Thanks for the tips.
  6. Sweet. The first picture of the one in primer is mine.
  7. It's done, but I haven't had the time to take finished pictures. We decided last week we were tired of the crappy weather in PA, and to go to FL for a few weeks. At least there's a Hobby Lobby not too far from the house. Maybe by the time we get back the weather will be above freezing at night.
  8. Interior done, Wiring done, and I found a resin Accel coil from R&M I forgot I had, and decals started.
  9. I've wired a couple of hemis which are fairly easy to do. but I failed on an old Chevy six that I did for an old Ford rod. I've started on it.
  10. You talked me into doing the spark plug wires. I'm not very good at it but I'm going to give it a go.
  11. Test. It works Now I can use my I-phone camera to post.
  12. Body primed and the front end pretty much done.
  13. Motor is done. I finally got most of the old paint off. What a pain, I had to scrape a lot of it off with a razor knife even after 4 days in brake fluid. Then primed with scratch filler primer and wet sanded. The wheels are all done.
  14. Interesting.
  15. Final test fit of the motor, and the rear wheels are done.
  16. More test fitting. The body sat in brake fluid for two days and looks like it needs two more. I ordered the altered wheels from Competition Resin last week and they got here today.
  17. My order got here today. Much faster then I thought. Nice parts,great service. Best wishes to him.
  18. Playing around and trying a different camera.
  19. Thanks for posting this and welcome home to all vets. Here's a picture I took in Rumor Valley near Cobb bridge.
  20. Testing the fit on the frame and the motor, which is a blown 427 Ford Revell Parts Pack motor. Next I painted the frame and started on the suspension.
  21. Starting this one. I found and old box of junk parts in my attic when I moved in here, and I've been looking to use this old beat up body on something. I didn't have enough pieces to do a junkyard build so I just set the body aside until I started this kit. I got it in a trade a while ago and found the body fit this kit perfectly. So here we go.
  22. That's it. Jeez I can't even type right today. Thanks, I'll put an order in and see what happens. I just put an order in and got a confirmation e-mail, so all is good.
  23. I want to order some wheels and some of this company's pieces are just what I want. I see on their web site that the catalog is from 2011, so I wanted to check before I ordered. Thanks.
