The motor is done and installed.

Neat.

No, I sold it in 1983 to a man who had the other three years of the Model A but not a '31. I had a young family (which you can see in the photo) and I bought a Packard sedan which I equipped with seatbelts so I could attach car seats. Just for the fun of it, the photo with the Chevrolet was taken 33 years after the one with the Ford with evryone in the same position.

I would print this to scalethen bend soft wire of the correct gauge into the desired shape of the neon tubes then mount is proud of the surface.

Go ahead Eric, you can do it.

This one will have to be displayed in the background, so its lumpiness isn't so obvious.☺️

He is one of the resin casters. His stuff is among the very best. I attach his carb page. Click on the 1/25 Car items.Then on the item you want to look at, then on the image to enlarge it. http://www.fireballmodels.info/

Fuel systems are in place.

Completed the interior today. Terrible weather, may as well hunker down at the bench.

Nothing wrong with that, nice job.

I believe it is one of two. There is one in Chicago whose owner took partly apart to send parts here to be copied.

Here I digress a bit. Everytime I mask a second color I go back to almost 40 years ago when I visited the guy who was painting my 31 Ford. That is him with the doors. I had helped him mask the brown so he could paint the tan. He had shown me how he reduced the tack of the tape by first putting the tape down on his pant leg. The next day I helped him remove it and he had explained that you always pull away from the joint instead of towards it or straight up to avoid pulling paint with the tape.

?

Nice project. Will follow for sure.

Absolutely! This is the kind of work which makes me wonder what I am doing here. Top flight on all aspects.

Carefully peeled the tape off. The line isn't very crisp.

Keep us posted on his findings.

Ray, that picture brought me right back to a man I knew about 35 years ago. His shop looked very much like that. He was the only one left in the area who built and repaired neon signs. He was also a tinsmith and had made the gas tank for the old Hudson below. In the summer, he went to St-Jean-Port-Joli (A picturesque village in Maritime Quebec where wood carvers congregate in the summer) and made glass figurines. He was the an absolute craftsman.

The 401 will sport a Chief Joseph Rochester carb.

Here goes. Hopefully it will cure right and the clear won't pull any stunts.

Any time soon, I should mask for the second color.

I found one 401 valve cover in the stash so I cast another one.I also cast two front cover/water pump assemblies from the 66 Riv engine as well as an intake manifold. I purchased a 3D printed intake pack from fellow member Chris Drysdale. Buit up the Showboat oil pans to work on a vertical engine. In the dragster, the engines are inclined.

One will be done as a 401 from the early sixties and another one will be done as a hotrod engine with 6 Strombergs.

They were from the Tommy Ivo Showboat kit. One has been put back as a Showboat engine.

Thanks Carl. It won't be one of the four in the first post. I have a couple of light greens I want to try with the airbrush.
