Wow! That was supposed to be red or purple. 😏

With a homemade somewhat improbable front axle the wheels are in the right place and the engine will de able to settle in.

Looking for a redépurole color for the upholstery I opened a can of Humbrol that is possibly over 40 years old. Lo and behold, it is still good.

So....it will be sorta like this. Made some engine mounts off a truck crossmember.

Opened up the front of the frame by removing the floor panels like Dennis did above. Widened the space at the front of the floor to accomadate the wider engines. Also picked a set of wheels in the stash

OK.It will be one of those two. An LS V12 with crossram injection or a supercharged 312.

The engine is a flathead with finned aluminum heads and a home made turbo application. I was trying to find the car to copy the engine but the owner has passed on and I could not find the car.

Doing some engine work.

I had purchased this kit with the intent of doing a coupe version of this lovely turbochrged coach. However, when I went looking for it to get detailed photos of the engine, I found out the owner had died and no one knew if the car was still in town. There was a Y block in a bag in the box, so I might do a mild rod with it or go alittle wilder with a FI V12.

Done.....

Starting to look like a truck.
