Very nice!

Maybe. This is a pic of a 1964 Ford F700. Looks pretty close.

I agree. The rails on yours seem a tad wider. I was afraid that if I ground it to match there wouldn't be much "meat" left.

Nice project! For the chassis, I bought a printable file for a similar one but 3 piece for a project I'm planning. The center section is square like yours and I designed and printed one that narrows to fit the angular body of the F-100. How do you plan to make yours fit? Grinding/sanding?

I hope you didn't leave it for long, that stuff will soften resins. For cleaning mold release you can just use a brush and clean it by hand (gloved). No need to soak it.

Yes! I swapped out the Monza V8 for a Vega Cosworth engine (stalled build) which would explain where it came from. Thanks.

Awesome project!

Its kinda like paint models, kinda. If you're going to use a new paint, test it first! When I was a warehouse analyst, and IT was issuing an upgrade or patch, they put it on a separate system called a "sandbox". Then we tested it until it broke or didn't. I'd hazard to guess that they don't do that anymore because of "resource constraints". Fancy words for reductions in force prompted by a desire to reduce overhead. Plus, they use AI for a lot of coding now, and AI never makes mistakes! ?

I was looking at the exhaust manifolds and my first guess was SBC, but the front cover threw me off. Turns out you're right. The pulley setup fits the water pump, but the water pump doesn't fit the front cover. Mystery solved! Thanks.

Thanks Bill. At least there's a consensus on the Caddy engine. Doesn't matter where it came from anyway.

It does resemble a Caddy engine. I've never had one of those kits but perhaps it was in another kit.

Hey Gang! I do a fairly good job of keeping kit engines together that I haven't used in a bin. I put them in a small bag and label them. However I didn't label these two and have no idea what they are. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum Nathan.

Cool, cool! Always double tap! ?

Nicely done!

I agree with the proofreading issue, however I think that may not be the case here. I went to their site and selected a similar item. The first item below Is available "In store only", period. Meaning that this item is not shipped. Though I don't get why it can't be available for pickup. The second item is shipped and is also available in store and available for pickup. I don't go to Michaels for any paint because at my local store they don't even bother to sort the stuff. They just throw it in wherever it fits.

Welcome!

Nice!

I dunno, we just do!! ?
