  1. Thanks Brian, I spent more time than probably needed on them. Between the cleanup, fitting, priming, application of the alclad polished stainless and getting them installed without ruining the alclad finish, I can say it was worth it. Thanks for looking.
  2. Michael, It will test you patients at times, but as you can see, it is worth the it.
  3. I'll have to look into that mike! Thanks for the idea.
  4. Thanks Brother!
  5. Good question Bill, there is a company called speedmaster that has a angle drive dizzy just for this situation. I Built one based on the picture. Only took three try's, but ended up with the one pictured. As you can see, it sit's under the blower and can be adjusted to any angle. For the cap, the one I am using is from the 32 sedan kit. It is for the flathead. Perfect for what is needed. I don't have a picture of the completed part, but the towers on the cap have been removed and a holes drilled for the plug wires. I try'd to post a pic from their website, but it was just too big. Being that it's more less hidden under the blower, you just don't see alot of it.
  6. Thanks David and craig, Actually had a couple other ideas for induction as I wasn't sold on the 4 port throttle body. One of my other ideas was late model fuel injection using fuel rails and a hat. And this is because I didn't want to get into the cowl. But, It is what it is and I am glad two people thought it was cool. Thanks guy's
  7. Thanks Brother, your comment means alot to me and your imput is part of the reason it's made it to this point so far.
  8. Elliot, That's a great idea grafting that flathead tri-carb intake to that sbf. Looks like it came that way! Good looking engine. The valve covers just had to go taller. The engine looked too narrow is the best i can put it. Taller makes things seem wider, which is making the engine look more proportionate to its surroundings.
  9. Here is a build I just completed of a 1965 Mercury Comet A/fX. This is built out of the box with plug wires being the only addition. It's painted with tamiya paints and some alclad on the front bumper, engine and headers. BMF was used for exterior trim. This is what I call a tune up build. Keeps my skills honed while working on long term builds. For a Quick build, It was fun and a challenge at times. Thanks for looking.
  10. Nce work so far!
  11. Scott, that is one excellent build! So many cool details going on. Interesting engine, I like that! Radar wheels was the perfect choice. Very nice!
  12. I find it interesting that you book ended the trim. Now that it's done, it really works well. The side view of the car is killer. I may have left the little horizontal wing off at the front to differentiate it from the rear, but still resembling each other. Just my opinion. Some great Ideas happening here, Jon!
  13. Excellent build! I like the engine details and that interior is really well done.
  14. Great looking camaro! Super clean workmanship.
