man, that looks great! i love it! cheers bryan

thanks Josh! it time to hit the bench! cheers bryan

cranky in space?? oh no! what was the tagline from the original "ALIEN" movie..... "In space, no one can hear you scream"??!! LOL cheers! bryan

Brownsville........its near uniontown, about 35 miles south of pittsburg. cheers bryan

its a tough one, but im gonna have to say real.......the glass looks way too good. cheers bryan

this build is really shapin up ira, as i said before its more bodywork that i could ever handle.............and ill give you two guesses what i do for a living! LOL.....yea, i do bodywork and paint! LOL been doin it for probably 20 years. keep it goin! bryan

nice! ill be watchin as well. cheers bryan

thanks mike! im building the fifth wheel trailer, i have some really thin wood im gonna use on the interior walls, and scrathcbuild some tie downs and what not..... cheers! bryan

except for the upper intake plenum and throttle body the engine is done.. i have to do some work on the plenum, it didnt line up very nice so im waiting for putty to dry.... heres a few shots of what i have so far........everything fits nice, and that really makes me happy. i usually have to fight with something to make it fit! LOL and a couple shots of the underside, i like how the tranny lines and wiring look. thats about it for me tonite fellas, lemme know what you think, thanks for lookin! cheers bryan

looking good!! cheers bryan

my engines usually look like this......... ford louisville hauler engine........i spent 2 weeks bending wiring and pouring over reference photos for this one. i think its one of my best! heres the engine from the model king 71 chevy blazer, another heavily detailed/weathered one from my twisted mind... thanks for lookin guys, lemme know what you think.... cheers bryan

its been a while since i have built and engine that hasnt been weathered (severely) its nice to build a clean powerplant for change, it will get a very light black wash, just to bring out some of the details here and there..... more to come! bryan

finished installing the plug wires, and exhaust manifolds, made a coil from brass but im waitin for it to dry......next up will start on the frame. more to come, thanks for lookin! bryan

just a litle note, i decided to use a different a/c compressor, and power steering pump. they came from the 59 caddy kit......in case you guys were wondering. i just thought the kits ones lacked detail, especially the compressor, and the p/s pump was way too thin. cheers bryan

i finally installed the belts and all the ancilliary components, just have to do a little touch up on the pulleys n stuff... heres the trailer im gonna use... more to come bryan

Beautiful!! i want it!! LOL cheers bryan

nice ride! for some reason it looks like a model to me, even the building behind it. until you look at the pics of the interior, the seats look real......cool car anyways, thanks for sharing! cheers bryan

amazing work don! all the added bolts really make a big difference, plus all of the other work you have done! very cool! bryan

thanks guys!! im gonna hit the bench in a little bit and hopefully get something done. stay tuned bryan m

thanks zac! i think im gonna block out the primer tomorrow. the gas filler area needs a little more attention as well. cheers bryan

thanks guys! yea hopefully this one will get finished all in one shot..... ha! belts are such a pain in the butt to paint! i usually chop em up, and make belts from rubber bands, but this one just has too many accessories. and one more shot of the engine for tonite...... thats about it for me guys, tune in tomorrow for more! cheers bryan

very nice work!! cheers bryan

ok, so you guys will probably think i am nuts starting yet another project, but this is how i work. i start a bunch of projects, and eventually they will all get finished......well maybe not all. ha! i have had this project in mind for a long time, and this kit has been sitting here for at least 6 years, well i should say kits, this will be the "1613 Autoworks" (my ficticious speedshop) car hauler. im using the monogram ford f350 dually kit, and a galaxie fifth wheel trailer. i started out wirh the engine, i removed the oil filter, and made one from brass, along with the breather and filler caps in the valve covers. heres the filter painted the engine ford gray, i drilled it out for tranny lines, speed sensor, oil pressure sensor, plug wires, ect,ect......i went a little overboard. i removed the mold lines from the rear of the cab while i was waiting for stuff to dry......there were hardly any mold lines, and no flash to be found on this kit, very nice.... the rest of the truck will get equal detailing as well, i plan on doing brake lines, fuel lines....ect. so now that you know i am nuts, because i have started yet another project, thanks for lookin. lemme know what you think. cheers bryan

cool! the hair looks great Ira, nice work cheers bryan
