Got some work done on the chassis and I'm done for the day.

Well....with everything going on today I did manage to make it to the hobby shop for some 7/32" brass tubing for the header extensions and I got the distributor wired and painted.

I know what you mean man. I'm getting selective on my kits now. Specially since the company has a different supplier and they know this new stuff is no good.

Good looking little 64 grocery getter. Love the color and the stance. Nicely done man.

Thanks to Alan for the tip on going with black instead of chrome on the dust cap and lugs. It's not a flat black but came out pretty good.

Thanks JC

He does have some great ideas. Any time I want to get info on a kit he seems to have built it.

I'll check them out next time I'm out. Yard work and fall check on the heating & air tomorrow.

Nice looking Dodge van. That color green is not my favorite but it looks pretty good.

Nice job on a classy vehicle. Color looks really nice Mario.

Indeed it does. Love the old Ford coupes. Wish Retell would come out with a new one.

Like others have said....nice chop. That color looks really nice.

That is looking so kewl. Love the wheels & tires and the stance. Like you I have never scratch built at this level but I have a 60 Ranchero and a 66 Nova tubbed rear end I like to mate together for a pro street.

Nice. That body is looking slick as a cats ass.

Thanks for the info D.W.

Yeah or maybe a good sharp #11 blade since the tubing is so small.

I decided to go with aluminum heads and paint the valve covers blue. I cut the end of the headers off and I'll take that with me to the hobby shop to get the right size K&S tubing to slip over the end for a much better look as the stock two piece tubes look pretty bad. Thank's goes out to Alan Barton for the suggestion and pics. Note to self. Next time I'm at HL buy a proper saw.

Thanks Andrew. Hope you get back to your bench soon.

Thanks Peter.

I tried a new color on the seat today. Not sure if I like it or not. Maybe after I get the seat-belts painted it will look better.

Yup....looking pretty sharp.

Thanks Steve. I've got some yard work tomorrow to catch up on but if I get done early I'll make a run to the hobby shop and take the header with me and match it up.

Thanks Alan. I've watched a lot of his videos. I don't think I've ever seen him wire a distributor. The instructions show no distributor or hoses. I'm good to go though. Found what I needed in the parts box.

Thanks Riley.

Thank's Bob. Yeah I guess it's that bit of perfectionist sticking out in me. I can't seem to achieve it but sure like chasing it ☺
