  1. Ricky, give me a few days and I'll come up with some ideas for you.
  2. So we have it with some primer to even things out and highlight the 396 defects that will have to be rectified. I now need to make sure I have all the bling and that it fits before proceeding with the finish.
  3. Added the cast pieces and completed the moldings. also redid the drip moldings using brass wire.
  4. The bottom molding is in place. Looking to copy the spear at the rear of the beltline molding to apply it to the front at the cowl I have foil and clay imprints. We'll see how it turns out. Failing that, I'll attempt to carve one.
  5. Hopped up Stovebolt. This is the 216 from the 1941 Chevrolet pickup kit with the "Speed" options. Intake manifold was modified to look more plausible.
  6. OK. Here are all the old cars I owned. All except one had whitewall tires. And the exception had white lettering. That should point to my preference.
  7. Absolutely! I concur.
  8. Working on the moldings.
  9. Now should I put whitewalls on one side and blackwalls on the other side and turn the model around periodically?
  10. Other than a few touch-ups, the interior is done.
  11. I visited two today, one in private hands and one in a vintage snowmobile museum. I think I got all the measurements and info I need. Small world. the man with the blue machine is the one who had restored the B18 Mack that had inspired my build here.
  12. I think that is the scheme I'll pick but i can guarantee now that it will never be that shiny. I can't paint very well.
  13. Removed the character line from the side of the hood. Started working on the interior...and yes, the dash will get dusted.
  14. If you want to see great craftsmanship. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Benoitetfils/photos/?tab=album&album_id=543112109512522
  15. Nice story and nostalgia. That kind of story brings happiness and a big smile.
  16. Thanks for sharing. I'm enjoying looking at these and discovering ideas.
  17. I'll keep you posted on how it fares. There is an engine rebuilder around here, called FTB who can convert it to inserts and full pressure lubrication.
  18. I have three behind a mountain of flower pots. I'd have to dig them out. Can't do that for a while on account of cataract surgery.
  19. Thank you Bill.
