So it will be side exhaust. One last question: Should I leave the tips extended like that or should I cut them closer to the body?

Thanks guys.

Dan, would you be offended if I did the "observation deck" treatment to mine as well instead of the tire rack?

Modified the Cat's air filter duct and adapted it to the 534's air filter. Made a bracket to mount it to the frame. If it was oil bath before, it is dry element now. Turns out those hinges won't work without beveling the edge of the hood panels. So I took them out and will glue tabs to support the inside edge of the hoods. Painted the rubber trim around the windows. This is where I'm at with the exhaust outlets. I might bevel the pipes.

I use a home made tool chest/cabinet next to the bench which is an old computer desk. The rest of the desk holds the jackpot that is in frequent use.

Here's the air filter photo that somehow fell through the cracks.

Finished installing the decking. Added 1/16 square rod to the topside to continue the"curbs". Also epoxied the hood panels to the hinges. Gave the tanks their gloss black. Started looking at an alternative to the upright air cleaner. Will need the cab in place to finalize. As the weather is warming up and snow is going, I will take my granddaughter out for what may be the last snowshoe outing of the season.

Hey Joe. This is a different kind of Messershmitt! Lovely job. A Boss 9 Hot Rod pickup. I bet you that thing will boogie.

Thank you Mr. Martin

Thank you Scott. There's a thread on each of them in here.

You'll need to make a ladder now.

This, my '67 Mustang GTA convertible. Out of storage and back home with its old buddy.

The body is still curing so I played with the deck instead. Performed a total rampectomy, replaced them with some tread plate, did the Dan Slade test. He's right, plenty of clearance.

Glad you think so J.T. I certainly hope so too.

The tanks are dechromed and puttied up. I can now 1.try my hand at Alclad or 2. Paint them body colour with BMF banding. BMF'd the headlight buckets, installed the lenses and gave a bit of a wash to the rad louvers. Interior is pretty well ready. I might redo the steering wheel. I'm trying to decide whether just leaving those dips alone or filling them in. I'm also contemplating lowering those ramps to floor level but I'm worried the spot indicated by the arrow may end up high centering some cars. Put away for now.

Niiiice! Do you own the inspiration too?

Back to the exhaust: I was planning to use straws for the outlet pipes. They scale out at5". That is pretty big for a gas engine isn't it?

About the painting, took out the test Trans Am and shot the driver's side with the rattle can, And the passenger side with the airbrush. It came out heavy. Lowered the pressure and cut back on the fluid and shot the actual model. It'll have to do.

Thank you all. I have to decide whether the inside of the body will be the same as the outside. I think the floor will be aluminum.

Started adding color to the interior. We have wheels. Round 3

re. post # 55, Harry what is your recipe for that Future/acrylic wash? And what works best to clean brushes used with Future/Pledge?
