I really like these planes Gino. That definitely looks like a difficult camo pattern. Good goin man! What scale is that anyways? I picked this up at the Houston show last year. I soooooo wanna build this.

Thanks James! I ended up painting two black dots in the middle of the white dot on the shifter ball and then I painted a white dot inside of each black dot to make that 8. Here's the 8 ball shifter so far: and then with the shifter boot:

Movin' on with the interior. I black based both of the seats and the console and will be painting the seats what will end up being a dark red color and the console will be gloss black. The shifter in the console was for an automatic so I sanded the PRNDL and the raised portion down from that area and will be installing a shifter boot from another kit and will be using a bobby pin as a shifter lever/ stick that has a black head/ ball on it. I formed it back towards the drivers seat in an "S" curve. I just didn't like the straight stick. After smoothing out the ball I've already got the white dot on it and have a small syringe standing by so I can put the "8" in the center of it. I couldn't NOT put an "8 ball" atop the stick you know. More coming on that shifter.....................soon.

That's a good lookin' powerplant you've got there Jonathan!

Oh man! He's at it again! Cant wait to see the outcome of this one Rich!!!

Sorry to hear that about your friend Rob. Sounds like a great guy and you're doing him proud with the build here.

Dang Bruce! That motor looks great. Lovin' the stance mock ups BTW!

That powerplant looks great in there!!! Jump back on it and stay the course.

I am going to use seats from an AMT 1988 Mustang kit that I just recently acquired since it has two sets in the box. I'll also be using the center console out of it as well. First off the seats sat too low for me. So I managed to snake a small Lego to use as a platform: Seat is right where I want it in regards to height after sanding the towers of the Lego down a bit: So with that.....let's add some carpet to the equation:

Looks like a million bucks! Great work Rich!

This was definitely worth every minute of watching this masterpiece come together!!! You can't beat that with a stick pal.

She looks great Marcelo!! Hat's off to a job well done! What color did you use for your carburetors?

Thank you Dave, Bruce, Tony, Del and Gino! Del: You know I knew something was missing!! Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks Carl! I'll be moving to the interior next.........

Dang Richard!! Your car looks awesome here! I really like the paint and trim work. As Bob said the little details really bring a lot out in a build like this! Thumbs up all the way!!!

You're really doing a swell job with this one Marcelo! I re-worked an old Challenger last year kinda like this. It's a great and fun trip down memory lane.

Now that the engine's almost completed except for a few peripheral nick nacks I test fitted it once more on the rolling chassis: and then test fitted the body with the interior tub just to make sure we don't have any interference issues..... Fits perfectly: Overall look so far is right in line with what I envisioned:

Lookin' good as usual Steve! Way to go man.

Thanks fellas for all the support! That's one of the reasons I like this site so much is for all the friendly help and support like this.

The detail and paint works on this thing are just outta sight. Thanks for sharing this beauty Tyrone!

Man there aint a thing wrong with that! A real head turner!!

Well after about two months of working with the engine......I think I've got the base assy completed. I still have to add the radiator hoses and clamps, the throttle linkage from the firewall to the engine and an engine oil dipstick but I'm going to call this part done. The 427c.i.d. Dual Quad Chevrolet Rat Motor:

Thanks Gino and Carl!

Got the anodized fittings and braided fuel delivery lines installed this morning. I think it's starting to look like an engine....

This thread is among my top favorites in this forum. I am just speechless at times in regards to the level of ingenuity and brilliance that I see here. As far as the detail on the engine goes.....keep adding it. That whole area is the showcase of the entire build so please.....have at it. Will be looking forward to more updates Steve.
