Hands still shaking but I’m making progress

Chassis just about done, work on the engine is at a standstill, for some reason I’ve developed a slight shake in my hands??‍♂️

I have no proof of purchase

Productive day!

At this point I may go slightly cross eyed

I’m liking this more and more, suspension will be getting final assembly pretty quick, then the engine will be plumbed and installed.

and that comment confuses me haha

Throwing some colour tonight

Awesome work as usual @Kit Karson

I got mine from a friend in trade, so I’ll have to deal with the warped hood, I can’t send off for a replacement. I’ve dealt with worse. It’s funny though my 70 2wd has a perfect hood, and the 70 4x4 has only a slight twist.

Love that green

It goes into the big case then

Ewwww Oilers! I’m a Chicago fan, have been since 74. ? thanks for the compliment all the same though

The headers/dumps are welding together with sprue glue, you can see that I’ve used the fact that it gets stringy, I wrapped the “strings” around the seam, once it fully cures I can then smooth it out. Body parts are prepped for the final “colour” coat.

Wow that’s a compliment and a half ? To be honest I’m not 100%sure I think they are from the early revell ford f100 that had the ardun heads, I know I added the dumps to them, they are currently in the next in line for work on the bench to get rid of the seam. Ill have som progress pics here soon, been home sick for a day or so so I’ve been between the bench and the couch (seasonal cold/flu , nothing serious)

Thank you Carl, monogram molded some really nice wheels back in the day.

Nicely started, I don’t expect to see the new tooling roadster in stores here soon enough.

It’s good to see you spending time at the bench Bill

The manifold and the heads are 3D, I had a local friend print them for me, I’m sure iceman collections has some as well. I just sent my last full set of parts to @chris chabre

Some 3D printed engine detail!

Did some trading with a local guy last night, tbh I was very surprised he even had this! The only thing that appears to be missing from the kit is the engine, well specifically the block and heads. But no worries for me.

It’s in limbo atm, trying to find the parts from the cab, glass mirrors, trim etc

Looks good Bob, mine is warped as well, so far the only bad spot for me will be the hood, I got the ramp body square enough for a shelf build.

Interesting work going on here!

@customlineI think this might give you an idea of where I’m headed
