Perfect, now that you are on a roll, what is a blue paint, can or jar, that is a close match available in most hobby stores?

no way to lube. Thats not the problem. Too much force on lifters. Pushes them past the lobe on the lifter and causes them to jamb up. -
Engine is wrong too. 283's had camel hump heads.

Any tricks to making this kit actually work? Seems like the valve springs are too stiff causing the lifters to jamb up at the cam. I have the newer non-motorized crank version. Anyone make parts to convert to motorized version with lights.

Sure i can make it work with craftsmanship but you can tell the molds are prehistoric. Lots of parts not numbered, parts dont fit correctly, instructions are wrong, ie ...calling out the water pump as chrome, its not. Other then that its a great kit, lol. Guess i have been spoiled with modern kits made via cnc and edm.

This is a lousy kit. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Here is the one iam going to build. I did have a gt-40 in the late 60's. That hsd function hoods. Think it was molded in maroon.

Here is my 68 cuda. Built it over 20 years ago

Those are some very impressive GT-40 models. I am glad I found this forum. I have been building cars for 40 years, still have most of them.

Have any of you guys built the fujimi gt-40. Doesnt look like the rear opens up to show the engine. I had a revell gt-40 back in the 60's that opened up in the front and rear.
