Thanks Guys. I think I will Just discard it and add a breather on the valve cover. Yes, the quality does not look to be the best. I will likely fab my own distributor for these engines.

I need something to do while paint and glue dries, so I bought this kit for $5.00. It is complete except for the headlights. The nicest thing about it is that it comes with two complete engines, a 428 and a 351. I am not sure if the 351 is a Cleveland or a Windsor? I have googled both and 1969 Mustang engines and cannot find anything resembling part # 35. Does anybody know what is supposed to be? Thanks, Greg.

Beautiful! I like the color. Were the wooden bed rails in the kit, or did you fab those? The grain on them and the bed are awesome.

Hello Darren. Hold your phone sideways (landscape), button on the right, when you take the photos. They should come out correct. Also, taking photos straight down or at a steep angle confuses the phone sometimes. Greg. P.S. Interesting build!

Superb work! I love how the wheels turned out. Are the exhaust pipes done with the Molotow chrome also?

Who makes this kit? I have been thinking of getting the Revell Wrangler Rubicon kit. Is this from the same moulding?

Nice job! I bought a 1980 Blazer once and I don't think there was even that much paint left under the hood.

Glass mouldings are done. I was debating whether to do them after the clear, since I want them to be matt. They will be better protected under the clear I think, and I can always give them a coat of flat clear later. I will let all this paint dry well before I attempt to clear it.

I've got the basic paint job done. I still need to clear it and do the trim etc. I also re-painted the bottom of the cab section that was attached to the chassis. This paint is Testors Aztek opaque turquoise. It did not go on near as nice as the Aztek pearl on my firebird. I airbrushed the cab first and I needed a fair bit of pressure to get it to spray. When I got around to the box, I added a few drops of Windex to the airbrush cup and it seemed to go on a lot smoother.

Very nice! Good fab job on the flat deck.

I have just tried Bare Metal Foil for the first time on my last project and I must say I like it! I have always painted my trim before and it looks OK, but the foil is more realistic. I found it easy to apply too.

I have been working on getting the tailgate to operate properly. I am using straight pins for hinges. After drilling the tailgate and the bed sides, the hinge pin holes in the bed side were too close to the back edge for my liking, so I beefed them up with a little chunk of sprue and some custom made stake pockets. Once everything is painted I can insert the hinge pins and the tail lights should hold them in place and hide them.

Nice detail on the interior!

I've looked at this kit a couple of times and have been tempted to buy it. Any paint planned for it?

Nice job, I'd swear that's real mud!

I got the interior finished today. The instrument panel came out better than I had hoped. When I first saw the fine, shallow detail on the panel, I expected to see a decal for the instruments. No such luck! So I used panel line accent around the gauge numbers and some thinned down paint for the more open areas of the gauge faces.

They're on the front too. I went to Princess Auto and bought a huge bag of assorted springs for $6.00 and these fit perfect.

Finished up the chassis today and also the dash.

Just the right size in my opinion! Looking good.

Very nice. What paint did you use? Does this kit come with a full top also? Greg.

Yes, stay at least 2 steps ahead of me so I can glean from your experience. I hope you don't mind if I steal some of your ideas like the hinge slots. Greg.

Nice build. I am working on the '65 step side right now. Great job on the interior!

Yes, sorry. Message sent.

Nice job on the weathering! I'm sure if anyone replaced the plug wires on a 1:1, they likely didn't follow the factory route.
