Beautiful model, remarkable finish. The low sheen you've achieved looks much more like what would have been on an in-period race car than what's typically on most over-restored hangar queens roday.
I started a thread on this way back in 2018.
In the meantime, as LDO mentions, Texas 3D has done an indeed spectacular rendition.
Although the Hilborn-style injection setup shown isn't exactly streetable (unless you add fuel rails to convert it to an EFI rig), you can make a single or dual 4-bbl manifold if you start with something that has the right head offset and port spacing.
It's also WAY cheaper than buying enough kits to old-school kitbash a good one.
The old thread is below.
But that's not the point.
Would you want your 11 year old child to watch WAP (which does not require age verification)?
And if you don't know what that particular song is, I urge you to find out.
ANYBODY, any age, can watch the Cardi B WAP video on YT without signing in.
But you have to verify your age and sign in to watch some old John Wayne movies, and even something as innocent as The Courtship of Eddie's Father.
Clown world, indeed.
Possums and raccoons were getting more of the food I put out for the feral cats than the cats were, but since I started bringing it in around dusk, no more.
If you measure "outcome" in finished models, I'm pathetic. Not quite two since 2012 or so.
But if you measure it in enjoyment of the time I actually spend at the bench, I think I'm doing just fine.
