I always enjoy your build threads, so much detail, just amazing.

Great idea, and I never new the Pacer was designed for this engine from the start.

I think your engine detail looks amazing very neat and clean. About your coil being backwards maybe the guy on the production line had a little hang over, I bet that kind of stuff happened a lot. Great work on your entire build so far.

Great work, I really like the paint and the details on the engine.

There is nothing about this gasser I don't like, the paint is amazing as are the decals, and I really like those head lights pretty cool.

Hi guys and girls time for an update, sorry it took so long but my airbrush hose broke which slowed me down a bit. I got some progress on the chassis done, installed both fuel tanks 1 of the battery boxes, both air tanks, front and rear suspension, still need to install lots more like the other battery box and cross member just to name a few. I am pleased with the way it looks so far for my first build and I am learning from it. Any and all comments welcome.

Thanks guys for all the great comments, should have an update in a few days.

Thanks for the comments guys, this forum is great everybody is always so nice it really gets me motivated. I have the chassis assembled already I just have to think about the colors a little more.

Thanks for your comment Ben, and thanks for the answer to my questions.

Hello guys been a long time since I have posted any builds, time to correct that. This will be my first truck build ever so I will just try to do a decent clean build, we will see how it goes, I will have plenty of questions for all you truck guys. All comments and advice welcome. First 2 pics of the raw engine with a few hoses and wires added along with my scratch built double groove pulleys and alternator bracket, pic 3 and 4 have the basic engine painted gold and a few bits in flat and semi gloss black, last to pics I added the 2 fan belts a dark wash and just a hint of rust to the exhaust side of the turbo. I think the engine is pretty much done. 1. My first question, the directions say you can paint the chassis black is this ok or can I use another color, the cab will be red I think. 2. Is gold the correct color for this engine, yep to late now but I am curious.

So far looks pretty good, I think the carb is on it's side so if he rolls the car it will still run, lol.

Well done, your weathering is perfect, it's hard to tell it's not real.

So far I think it looks great, I like the aggressive stance.

Don't matter how old it is, if it looks this good.

Amazing, love the weathering and attention to detail.

I always enjoy seeing your builds, I am shore this will be like all the rest outstanding.

Good work Dave, you will get better. What's more important is that you had fun and learned a few things in the process.

Every time I see an update on your build it makes me smile, just gets better and better.

Very cool, your paint work is amazing.

Nice work so far, it really has the look of the Gran Prix. I bet there will be a lot of people on the forum that would want to see casts made of this.

Well done your eye for detail is amazing.

There is nothing I don't like about this one, you should be proud.

I like the period correct hot rod look, well done.

I like it, Ford powered Ford it's about time, wait there are engines other SBC no way, lol.

You are doing really good work on this kit, my favorite part is the interior, well done.
