Good color combination, great paint job. David G.

Very cool! David G.

Well done! I love these oddball kits. David G.

Excellent work! I love the "shop" photos. They make me want to build a diorama like that. David G.

Nicely done, interior looks great. David G.

Thanks for posting this,I'll mark my calendar. David G.

Excellent work! Just the right amount of weathering. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

More photos of more progress! Wheels! Not the ones I plan to use, but... Wheels! Getting wheels under the chassis is, for me, a landmark event, an unofficial half-way point. I did have a bit of difficulty with the front suspension. When I got it assembled and first set it down, the right front wheel was about 2mm off the ground. So I disassembled the right side and made some adjustments to set things right. Here's the finished and detailed chassis. I may still add a fuel line between the fuel pump and the chassis and dust-up the rear axle, but otherwise, it's done. As always, thanks for looking and please feel free to comment. David G.

Thanks Carl, I'm glad you like it. Thanks Richard. It's a fairly simple kit but there is a lot to work with- a lot of potential. David G.

A couple more photos. Test fitting the nearly completed engine in the chassis. I added plug wires and a fuel line. The kit didn't provide a distributor so I made one. There's also supposed to be a wire guide for the plug wires. I tried a couple of different ways to make one, then decided I could live without it. I just didn't feel like going crazy with the details. I've been working through the photos I've taken. there'll be more soon. Thanks for looking and as always, feel free to comment. David G.

Thanks for that Mike. Very nicely done, but that's waaaaaayyy more work than I put into mine. Did you ever finish it? David G.

Wow, that's a lot of work. Did you get it finished? David G.

Excellent work in spite of the setbacks! You weren't by chance whistling while working on this ship, were you? Some of the old sailors believed that whistling could summon ill-favored winds. David G.

Nicely done, the color is perfect. David G.

Wow! That is a lot of work! Very well done. David G.

Nice work. Where did you get the dashboard detail? David G.

Nice Rescue! Love the color choice. David G.

The link takes me to a page that says "You Do Not Have Permission To Edit This Page." The engine is pretty much done. I've added a few details and made a few compromises. I would like to see your build though. David G.

Paint looks great- excellent foil work. David G.

That's really very cool, and a tremendous amount of work. Very well done! David G.

Thanks Mike. The engine is now mostly finished. I should be able to get some pictures posted later today. David G.

Thank you Bill. I've always enjoyed masking and painting. Something about the process just seems kind of magical. David G.

At this rate, I may finish this one over the weekend. I painted the bottom of the chassis with oxide primer and masked the areas that are to remain red. After spraying the semi-gloss black and removing the masking, this is the result. And yes, I've actually been listening to some Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman and a few others while working on this one... and a little Slayer too, but who's keeping track? David G.

Thank you John. I put some more time in on it today, should be able to get some more pics up tonight or tomorrow. I'm building this one a bone-stock daily driver with a straight six. David G.
