Anyone have a source for a reasonably accurate 1/25 Ford 223 "Mileage Maker Six" 6-cylinder engine. Bonus points if it has a 3-speed manual tranny attached! I'll be needing one for an upcoming Edsel project, and can't think of a kit which might have one, off the top of my head. I figure someone here can point me in the right direction! Looks like the 215 and 262 are all the same basic engine/block etc, with just different bore and stroke, so an of that family of engines should get me what I need.

Man, that is too cool! One of my favorite body-syles ever, and this has just the right look. This needs to be built for real, and parked at my house.

Sweet! These need an old-timey garage setting, such as an old barn shed, no real garage, just a shelter where a car guy can work out of the rain. Very cool builds.

Nice job! I don't know why, but I'm surprised at how good that car looks in white! I'm not a particular fan of white cars, but sometimes it just works, as is the case here. Your choice of subtle striping provides just enough visual interest to balance that white and keep it from looking bland. Your car builds are getting noticeably cleaner and tighter. Well done!

Good job on the finish, and the whole build!

Very nice!

Nicely done, very authentic!

Great build of one of my childhood favorites of the Tom Daniel kits. Well done!

Great looking model; forgot just how much I love this body style. Color is smmoooooth!

Sweet!

Very nice! Got a couple of these in the pile myself; looks nice in the box, but it's good to see all those nice parts fit together so well. Did you have any fitment issues?

Very clean, both the style and the build.

Nice job! I, too, have a couple of these in the box, and need to see them done. Were the Cragars in the box, or did you source them from another kit?

This one has been an adventure to follow, but much to learn from each other in threads like this. All success means nothing new learned! This made a very attractive display piece, but honestly, I would have been happy to have the chassis and interior assembly displayed as a cut-away, stand alone model. That interior is just beautiful on it's own, and I may copy the color scheme to drop into a silver body. Congrats on whipping this into shape!

Instrument panel is just amazing, front and back!

Not one I care to own now, but 10-year-old me would have wanted a dozen of these based on that box art. What eye candy!

Lookin' good!

Incredible that we don't have a really good TH350 in scale! They are/were so common!

AMT '57 T-bird.

I think the Monogram 70 Buick GSX is the kit I had in the back of my head, I think it has a TH400 with separate pan.

That little no.32 car just sums up "hot rod" to me, and is the kind of kit that made me want to build model cars as a kid. Beautiful builds!

Mean!

Ooh that's pretty. That painted center on the wheels ties nicely with the body color. Sharp model.

POP!

Holy smokes, YES! I've been collecting reference materials for EXACTLY that project, in fact. Good call, Snake!
