The molds turned out OK. I started cutting strips of .020 to make leaf springs. It looks like it will work. Now if I tack the first one down like in the photo and I giue the leaves one by one and allow them to dry one at a time do you guys figure they'll hold the arch?

Ford 390 from the '66 T-Bird. The expansion tank wasn't in the package I got on eBay. OHV V8, 390cu.in./315 hp.

All I have is the wheel outers and some rims. since I don't want to "steal" from other kits, I decided to "borrow' and rigged up to make some casting forms for brakedrums/wheelbacks. By the way, that type of nozzle, cut down would work too. I might start saving some.

Love them all, got a kick out of the winged warrior El Camino.

Added an air tank. Added fasteners to the flywheel plate and lenghtened the frame by 1/2" as per Warren's suggestion.

Fabricated a fifth wheel plate using a kit's plate as a guide.

Curbside. It is very thick so it would be a lot of work to thin out the hood & sides. Also it would mean scratchbuilding a Red Diamond.

I'd like it the same as in the picture.

The crossmembers I have appear to be from a different kit than the rails. Using the tank as a gauge, I trimmed them to fit. They also dovetail perfectly into the notches on each side of the front bumper. Should be clear sailing with the frame from here on in.Positioned the rear suspension with a wheel at its intended location, looks like the frame is long enough. I may add the tapered ramp at the end.

t Thanks Warren. I'll be using the ones in front of the grille. I'll test them for clearance then we can decide.

It will have a saddle tank and single drive like in the photo.I have some frame rails that were cut so I mocked it up to determine where I have to splice to achieve the proper lenght. It looks like the long part will suffice. Do you guys figure it is long enough or should I add about an inch?

After I saw this picture of a K8 on the FB page of old photos from my home town, I looked for one and found it at Illini's. By the time I ordered it it was at AITM's. I'm not sure if I remember the actual truck but I remember the outfit, and I knew the owner's daughters so it has a vague connection to my past. I had looked for the rear outside tirehere and was directed to some on eBay which I thought were a bit dear so I didn't purchase them. I will use the Jeep/military style from the Paystar 5000 kit.

I am planning another background using this photo of an old open faced shed. Obviously, just folding the image at the base of the shed won't look very realistic. So I'll have to build a base with grass and weeds and maybe a clump of bush ot two. I am open to suggestions and hints at suppliers.

Looks rear engined...

X2. Welcome aboard Michal, you eill like it here.

I find that photographs fit the bill often, especially if they show some relief. The ones you picked are perfect for that application. Probably period correct too.

I meant in real life.
