Cool! You never need a excuse for a moch up

We have vidio evidence! Looks like we're getting this. Min marker 7:10 to 9:00. https://youtu.be/cpFa37e2YZs?si=u0w2SHcTATrUXxyX

"Got more class than a little duece coupe" Competition Coupe, The Astronauts. This is really cool. I kind of like the bare metal look around the window.

Wow, in the real world this doesn't take any talent to make. In kit world it takes a whole lot more to get it where you can basically pick the whole car apart with your fingers. Great job!

I got the engine wired this week. It was my first time doing it and it had dual distributors, what a task.

Oh gosh! What is this chevy blazer rip-off! PM sent.

Owned my own raft to at one piont.

Nice picks! I didn't know it existed, then I went on vacation to myrtle beach and saw this driving to my hotel. I knew I had to go.

Yep.

It's like a cow, outstanding in its own feild. Great job.

I wired my first engine with actuall wire yesterday. It was the S&M 71 cuda hemi. The daunting thing was that the car has 2 distributors, but that was no problem since I just took it 1 distributor at a time. I also did fuel lines and carb linkage. It really wasn't that bad and I am really happy with the results! Yes the real car looks like a hairball with that tangle of wires to.

Would you really call Harleys high performance??

This looks great I love long nose mustang (or just long nose fords in general.

Looks good! I like the grill a lot, the custom one not so much.

I got some 30 awg wire (seamed to be the right gauge) off of Amazon. It was super cheap for a lot and in 5 different colors. This wire will be used for my first time doing wires on engines.

I know, I always appreciate knowledge from people who know a lot about that topic (and any other knowledge). I was just kidding around with I just get that feeling sometimes when I'm working. Edit: let's get back to the original topic. Can't wait to see more of this build.

Now it's got to be just right and accurate ?.

I like this soap box fords are cool and so are drag cars so...

? no words. Your engine detailing skills are top notch. I swear you could put a little fule in it and... ROAR. I also like you didn't stereotypically go with a hemi and went for a single carb setup. Good work.

Ah well don't use the method I mentioned if you want to save them.

I used micro set or sol (can't remember) on my johan 71 cuda glue bomb. You put it on top of the decal, let it set, dry it off, put masking tape or scotch tape over the decals and peal (it should come off).

Cool this will be cool. So I just watched the cupple episodes on this car. It started out in hot rod garage where they restored this cars frame and drive train. The body was trash and that's where roadkill got involved. They put a solid body on this car and went racing! And they named it the 56 chevy Feild car. This cars got a lot of patina on it. And I would really only say surface rust, also a lot of different coats of paint. This car would really test your patina skills. I also like how this car has skinny cregars on bias plys. Here's my favorite shot of the car.

Man there's a lot of those on the forum right now. I like the color of the silver on that body, looks sleek.

Yeah me to, Sorta. I always used to wire my engines with sewing string, then I realized that actual wire is much better. Never have gotten to do that yet though. I will experiment with that on my next build.

Looks spot on man. How did you make the grooves in the tires.
