AND: IIRC, there are two different possible starter mountings, depending on year. One has the unit bolted to the bellhousing with horizontal bolts. The other mounting has vertical bolts that go up into the block, like a Chevy V8. But either way, it's solenoid up.

I noticed that in the kit as well. I'm mounting it solenoid up on the 389 in my Pontiac-powered Ferrari 250 GTO build. Photographic evidence: '65 389 tri power engine. Starter with solenoid heat shield '64 Bonneville

Pretty much have 'em all, but I continue irrational buying to feed my insane greed...though I would really like to snag all the HRM kits...and a few Modelhaus and AITM...I missed.

Working lovely now...with no effort required on this end. Nice job.

Acceptable is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

Just to get a rise out of you, Rob. And it works every time.

Glad to see such cogent, reasoned and articulate reaction, pretty much on time, just as expected.

Love it. You always get the vibe, the "look", dead-on-the-money.

Let the flame-war begin. I'm sure all the alternative-energy experts will weigh in about how it's a fake, or only a prototype, or too over-the-top and gimmicky, or is ugly, or is so expensive only the hyper rich could afford it, or that there's not much hydrogen infrastructure... I'm sure I'm missing quite a few expert "reasons" why it couldn't possibly work. And they'd be completely missing the point that humans have the technology, developed and mature technology in most cases, to build something derived from this on an affordable basis today, getting the hydrogen from housetop solar PV arrays cracking household waste-water into hydrogen and oxygen. I have an approximately 1/24 scale functional hydrogen fuel cell model car. A small PV unit sitting in the window in the sun makes hydrogen from water, and the little car will run a short distance on it. Honda did a full-scale rooftop-solar-generated-hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle project years ago. It worked great. The home installation made enough hydrogen every day to power the car through an "average" daily commute cycle. Getting from there to where we need to be is only a matter of scale, and the desire to do it. And it makes one jell of a lot more sense in the long term than the idiot push to battery-power everything.

I always get a chuckle when people here tag me as an old-man-shouting-at-clouds, mired hopelessly in a petroleum-based past, and lecture me on how "the world has changed". How ridiculously off base. What I'm actually opposed to is stupidity masquerading as smart, lies hiding behind smoke-and-mirrors, and change for the sake of change. THIS, on the other hand, is demonstrative of a future I'd enthusiastically embrace. The Hyperion XP-1, below, is even cooler than Jaguar's spectacular (2010) C-X75 twin-turbine / electric hybrid project :

Imagine an alternate reality where that actually existed, was the norm, was built from advanced composites and weighed less than 2000 pounds, and was powered by a hydrogen fuel cell (hydrogen supplied by electrolysis from a house-top solar PV array cracking household wastewater into hydrogen and oxygen) delivering 500 horsepower via electric wheel-motors, with a 500 mile range. My question is, as we have the ability to create that today, why humanity is more intent on posturing and following bleating sheeple down idiot paths, rather than building really cool stuff.

Typing accurately can be challenging with a bagel in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

Adobo sauce.

Man...are those gonna thump!

Ears of the big variety are sometimes found on little pitchers.

Those Famous Fords were a series or reboxings of earlier IMC kits.

Very, very nice. I love these little cars in reality, and was so inspired by your build that I sought out one of these kits for myself. Always liked the big snake eating the little guy logo too.

I like to go "vroom vroom".

Perhaps she's decreed that as they're totally useless, the family can save money by using the pages for you-know-what paper?

Not that one, but I am getting a message saying "there was an error displaying this content" or maybe "loading" instead of displaying. Ignoring it works fine though.

I prefer 30-minute or longer setup epoxy for joining dissimilar materials. The 5-minute stuff just isn't strong enough in my opinion. Barring that, "toughened" Loctite gel is my second go-to.

About every other login, I'm still getting the warning. Then I get bumped to another login. No biggie, but how hard is it to get it to work consistently, anyway?

Cool cool cool. Love the Voodoo too. I'm assuming the Zero pilot has the sun directly at his back.

Symmetry is sometimes lacking on model-car aftermarket resin offerings...and aftermarket real-car fiberglass.
