What? Doesnt look the part? Ok, the Ardun heads have four ports.

Ford V8 with Ardun heads.

Working on the bling. In 1952, in Ontario one reused his 1951 plates with a windshield sticker. So will this car. I'll use the plate from my series

Yesssss, that puts things in perspective all right. Very neat comparison shots.

I ended up with this setup, sort of a hybrid.

Nice.

Thank you Mike , David and David. completed the engine and interior.

perhaps I should specify. We're looking at 45 years of Automobile Quarterly and 22 years of Collectible Automobile.

We have started downloading stuff to eventually move to an apartment or condo. I have two series of high quality magazines that I was thinking of selling. eBay has most of them individually. I would like to keep them whole. Are there websites where I could at least get an appraisal? I looked for some, found one which didn't work.

It is Moebius kit no 1204 sir.

Thanks Tom, Steve and Vince. scompleted the dash. Disappointed with the decals. they don't measure up to the quality of the model.They came apart as soon as I touch them. I strongly suggest giving them a good coat of decal set before using. I'll try and touch them up somehow. Stated adding fittings and such to the engine.

Thanks David. Started pecking at the interior.

The foiling is done. All 300 feet of it.

Thanks Brian.I’ll just call it a Scout II engine to be safe.

Anyone know if the engine represents the 304 or the 345? Or if they are visually similar and it could be either?

Although this isn't a tip or a tutorial, I posted it here since I couldn't figure where else. Anyway, I will attempt to make something like this (image taken from a thread here) out of this, an extra thread spool rack my wife has. Started by cutting the spool rack in half and making side supports. Then I started cutting shelves and playing with what will go where. Laying out the spacing for the holes will be an interesting exercise at arithmetic. Helps keep Alzheimer's at bay.

Working on the chassis. mostly unsucessful attempt at carpeting. Used clear instead of floor polish. likely not sticky enough.

They certainly could. I never cease to marvel at their work.

This would make a nice build assuming one could find the cab.

Second round. much better. Easy does it. As an aside, one day I was at a car show with my grandson and he recognized "Doc Hudson".

I love it!

And, with some figures, it seems to take away from realism as they are difficult to get right.

None of them are visible are they? I am debating the introduction of figures.
