TooOld

It's been a while since my last update but this last week I've managed an hour or so every day and I'm slowly making some progress . Here's several photos of the engine compartment , I can't install the radiator until after the engine is in place . That's next , it'll be tight but I tried it once already to make sure and it does fit okay . Thanks for looking !

Great work Tommy , really like that 70's look !

Bob your foil looks really good to me ! I wouldn't dare take close up shots like that of mine , it always looks good from a distance but pretty bad close up .

Excellent work Bill , that looks awesome !

Very sharp looking 2+2 ! Some nice detailing and that pearl looks great , I bet in person it really shines . Well done Sidney !

I like very much ! Great work Dan !

Beautiful build of maybe best looking race car ever , well done Gary !

I bought these decals from Speedway Decals , the pattern measures 7" x 2-3/16" and the circles are approximately 5/64" diameter . I think it was $8 or $10 plus postage .

Oh my . . . not much I can add to what's already been said . . . it was worth the wait !!!

Looks good to me John , with this kit the paint and foil are most important part and yours came out great !

Looks great in that color and with those wheels & tires , well done Anthony ! That's how we did our cars when I was in school .

That looks great Tommy , well done ! The issues with the engine seem to be pretty common across all of the Salvinos kits , a real shame since overall they are really nice kits .

Beautiful Impala ! Looks like that chassis fits perfectly , well done Gareth !

Very well done Doug , and in the perfect colors too ! I've always liked the '56 Ford's , they don't get the attention they should .

Everything you've said about this kit is correct but it's such a great looking car that who cares , when built carefully it always looks great ! Very well done Sidney !

That is looking really nice !

Beautiful work Tim , that's about the nicest build of this kit I've ever seen ! Well done !

Wow that looks great with all the extra goodies ! I didn't realize it came with those crank out windows .

That looks great Mario , well done ! I agree it's a cool looking car and pretty cool box art too !

That looks great in that color , well done John !

I haven't had much time so this isn't really an update . . . Before starting on more assembly work I created the artwork for a few decals , the oil filter and battery , and a Petty Enterprises decal for the aluminum panel on top of the radiator . I don't remember if I saw one on a restored car or a clone but it looked neat so I made one with white and one with black lettering . Here's a photo of the actual printed decals .

Thanks Scott ! Thanks much Martin !

That came out beautiful Mark ! It takes some extra effort with some of these kits but it's worth it , well done !

Very nicely done Bruce , I always thought this kit built up great right out of the box ! Maybe not as detailed as the Salvino's but sometimes simpler is better .

Sharp looking C-Cab Steve ! That Fruit Wagon kit gets overlooked but it has some decent parts in it .
