Slapped it all together with some chewing gum an cello tape. Stock air cleaner unpainted as it may not be staying.

Looks awesome Jim, just as well to finish it now that it’s on the bench!

I Ike the way this is falling together

Thanks guys, I went with red, waiting for a little bit of paint to dry and then o should be able to continue with some more chassis assembly

Todays mission as I so chose to take it is chassis and suspension. All the major assemblies are ready to apply to the chassis. Exhaust modifications are complete and this should all fit together nicely as it’s been tested a couple of times, then I can retire the mock up frame that I had from another glue bomb rescue from a couple of years back. Frame has a base coat of semi gloss black and then a top coat of Gun metal. Front a rear suspension have been coated in gloss black. Question: was red the only colour on hot rod bullet mufflers in the 60’s?

Interior looks awesome Jim, “power barn” detail is tidy as well. That FE is great looking.

All good sir, it’s a euphemism I picked up from watching Vice Grip Garage years ago on YouTube. Thankfully it’s the only one that stuck in my head.

Engine bay.

This is exhausting… pun intended!

Power barn is looking tidy @David G.

Pretty stoked to see this one move forward.

Keeping it simple he says… that’s darn fine work sir

So many variations to choose from, you can’t go wrong.

That’s a well done custom, currently working on one myself and your build is inspirational.

Nicely done James, the air cleaner reminds me of a pink pencil eraser.

Thank you Carl Thank you Chris Thank you Nicholas

Fancy tub with tasteful mods!

It would have to be a custom fab job for me as I have nothing in my stash that even remotely looks like that

Just a bit

Engine details! Love the additional details from the AMT Starliner engine, the carb looks awesome(shame to have to cover it with an aircleaner( still hunting for a nice one)) details of fuel pump, filter and ign coil are tidy indeed. Engine is wired. Not to get the exhaust manifolds on and start tinkering with exhaust (ugh).

Nicely done, I have one of those old kits, mine is missing the glass

How did you know I'm short like Danny DeVito lol( jk) not bad for rattle cans. now it’s time to get back to the detail work. The body is going into a bubble for a couple of days, then I may attempt a shot of clear of this whole debacle.

Well the cat is out of the bag, few small touchups to do. Overall pretty pleased with how the paint came out.

It was a happy moment let me tell you. Makes the FE a prime choice

Waiting for the declassification order. ?
