It's apart and must of been in a damp area since I had a hard time getting the screws out and were rusty.

Probably just use the whole 65 engine but are the optional Buick engine in the 40 Ford kits similarly made. I noticed all the Ford FE engines of that era were similar except the trans.

I do not have the parts to fix it but have them on the way,I have a complete unbuilt 65 engine on the way that should have the parts I need.

This was with that bunch of parts I picked up early last year and is going to get restored,going to remove the side pipes and repaint and the chassis is definitely going to be painted. It has a incomplete engine and have one coming and might see if I can get a nicer set of bumpers. I am also going to see if I can find some stock wheel covers or ralley wheels.

I was told they were a pain to build so I am going to get the later version and build it,the guy at the hobby shop said he never seen anyone build that version.

I have a old Revell 56 I started on last night but after looking at the trim that goes down the side I doubt I can get them off the trees without destroying them so did GM ever make one with no side trim.

If it did not have that decal I wanted to save I would have painted it and done a better job of painting the trim,it was originally put together by a teenager back in the 60s.

That will be the color.

Tires and hubcaps arrived today so almost done,I have a top coming and will have to repaint it.

This is one of the bodies in that batch of parts I got earlier this year,it has been built with mostly vintage parts except for the Atlantis/Revell Caddy engine. Since it had that decal on the trunk I left the body alone and just painted the chassis and interior.

Almost finished,just waiting on paint on the engine to dry then it will be done.

I ended up making that 4 carb intake into one for a single 4 bbl.

I do have around 30 built 40s from all manufacturers.

I am going to use the Revell engine with the AMT 3 carb intake on this build,might look for a stock looking air cleaner that will cover all the carbs.

This is my fourth one in the last couple months.

I think the one I have is from the 59 kit as its slightly larger then the Revell.

I found one that I think is the optional engine from the 59 Elcamino that has stock valve covers so at least I will have those.

I am putting the Alantis/Revell Caddy engine in a AMT 40 Ford and would like to make it stock and like it was just plucked from the junkyard so are there any kits out there with a stock 50s Caddy engines. The AMT threw carb intake fits so this one will most likely be put together with it and aluminum valve covers but would like to build a stock looking engine in the future.

Gave the body a bath and getting the Caddy engine ready to go in,this is just going to be a quick build while glue and paint are drying on other builds and just the chassis,engine and interior are the only parts being painted.

Last summer I was given a bunch of models that came from a thrift store and this one was in it,not going to do anything with the paint and just do some detailing and install a correct engine and wheels and try to find a convertible top.

It's going to get a quick build after I get the ,64 Dodge and T bird done.

Was originally going back stock but would needed to come up with another set of stock rims I did not have,I had a set of them coming but put them on the convertible.

I presume it's a original issue that I got with some other models,it had been built as a race car but I put it back on the street. Paint is as nice as I would have liked but could not get all the old brush paint off but good enough for me.

I almost started on it,I found a decent 32 coupe body and frame that I was going to throw together but no interior so it's the 64 Dodge

It seems a lot more 261s were available up north.
