Very cool and well done. I did one a lot like it a while back and called it before & after. It was a 64 Ford Galaxie.

I sell everything I build. The fun for me is building the model. Once it's done so am I, on with the next one. Now, I know I don't "make" money but I do usually get enough to keep me stocked with more kits and supplies. I buy a lot of rebuilders cheap and I'm not spending crazy money on aftermarket and 3d printed stuff. If I can't make it the model doesn't get it. Years ago I sold my Hippie bus for over $500 and just recently a Nova body for $40 on ebay. I normally start them at $19.99 and let'em go. Whatever I get, I get. It's nice to get $100 or 2 out of a model but they can't all be like that. I find building something is (mostly) calming and relaxing so that's worth something to me. Even if I'm not getting paid what the "work" is worth, I'm ok with that.

Looking great! I found some more pics of that engine in a car.

Great project, I can't wait to see it come together. This reminds me of the A that I built a while back. I remember you commenting on it. Incase you don't remember, here's some more inspiration pics to check out.

Do you also have 1:1 project cars?

Been working on this "T" again for a bit. This is the 2nd engine in the past 2 years. The last one ran good but had a quarter size hole in the block up in next to the valve guide. We got this one in a while back & got it running 2 weeks ago. Then found out the rear end was shot, changed that last week. Went for a little ride today, blew the front tire and found out the steering is loose as hello. -
A shame about the paint but you'll have it just how you want it soon.

I'm still trying! Thanks! I'm still unsure about an engine. I seriously considered just that, because 53 was the last year of the Ford Flathead v8 and I have plenty of them. More thought on that when the bodywork looks better. My brain can't handle more than 1 thing at a time.🥴🤪 -

I've been cutting, sanding & figuring things out. I really needed to reconnect the fenders so I built a radiator support. I got rid of the fender flares and reworked the bottom of the grill. It's getting a little better. -

Thanks Jose, I'm working on it. Thanks Charles, I've been working on it. It's not in a box, the garbage or smashed against the wall. YET🤨 Thanks Michael. -

You need some Zippi's Garage decals made for the sides. Great build as always.
