Alright - '37 Chevy. I got as close as the camera would allow for an engine pic. It's the block,heads, valve covers from the ala Kart kit. The valve covers would in terrible shape so I stripped what litlle chrome was left and painted them Testor's Steel. The rib across the top was painted body color.
Body color is Testor's Mystic Red rattle can. Body was rubbed with Novus #2 and then polished with Model Car Wax.
I got the front end down by mounting a parts bin axle below the springs instead of on top. The axle was narrowed to keep the wide tires under the fenders. The springs were notched to accept the axle. Grinding the spring mounting points front & rear also helped bring the body down.
I screwed up by opening the rear wheel wells to the factory scribed line. They were too big for the tires. I had to fill in with 2 part putty and grind & sand. It actually worked good for me because the tires fit the wheel very well.
The exhaust tips are polished 1/8" aluminum tubing that attach to solder exhaust pipes. Larger diameter aluminum tubing was used for mufflers.
