When I was sixteen (and rainbows were still in black & white) dad bought me a 1947 Chevy Fleetline.

A little poetic license with the engine colors

But the plug wires are in the correct firing order (which is actually on the kit's exhaust manifold in raised letters; see previous pic, to the right of the oil filter)

That's what I call a fun build .. your first car!

Mine was a '51 Plymouth (those black & white rainbows wouldn't reflect in the old paint) and a tougher car to find. I have a resin '49 with big plans .. eheheh
