Mike.........thank you for your kind words........that means allot ..........I love to build models that are different......I love to challenge myself........if people like the project that I am building that makes my day...........if i can help someone that likes my idea and and want`s to know how I did it.......I will always help.........if I ever over look someone I apologize...........if people don`t like my projects or my work or point out my mistakes that`s cool........I have learned that it helps me be a better modeler.........I may not acknowledge it but, I remember sometimes?....... it helps because I do a variety of models........and I don`t know everything thing about every car...........and in a closing note........I love to build models..........thanks -

Hi Mark.........the carbs are from my parts box.......I sanded the sides and added cut rubber tubbing..........I used pictures from the 1:1 car as reference........I also used "Pro Tech" linkage pieces and nut and bolt ends.......I wrapped wire mesh around the air cleaners........I still need to add the throttle cable and bracket set up...........it had a weird set up on the carb linkage........I did the best I could for what I could see........looking at my pictures I see a few things not even........probably not right but,close enough........once the scoop is attached it will will cover most of the carbs anyway..........and you wont be able to see the mistakes..........it is good practice for the next build ...........thanks -

Del........thank you for pointing out the cowl........I will add that arrow to the body........I almost used a model A .......but,this body was a little bigger and I could add just a little more overall detail........I think once the body is painted it will look ok?..........thanks -
