Motor is about done.
Having some paint compatibility issues I have never experienced before. I have always used duplicolor clear over duplicolor paint with no issues. This week I am seeing random crackling issues. Hopefully I can get things fixed.
Thanks for checking in on me. I added another fan to the radiator so now I have two side by side instead of one in the the middle. FYI The fans are out of the Matt and Deb Hay Thunderbird.
If you happen to have a pair of the custom rear fenders from the AMT Ertl '53 Ford F-100 you may find that the overall shape of those fenders more closely resemble the 1:1 57 Chevy rear truck fenders than the fenders in this kit.
Got all the pulley brackets done and the radiator is about finished. I need to do some alignment particularly the power steering pump needs to be moved forward.
Bed strips harvested from Amt flip nose 53 pickup and covered in tape used to seal furnace ducts. The wood is basswood with cherry stain and a dozen coats of duplicolor automotive clear polished with Maguire's mirror glaze.
