This is really looking good Bill. I'd like to point out the exhaust pipes you've chosen for this engine. You chose the kit hemi but used the small block exhaust pipes with the two center ones close together. Hopefully this can be changed without too much trouble.

I'm looking forward to your paint job and color choice. Any ideas in mind?

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the input. This is a learning process for me. I love cars, but I don't know much about them. So I hope to learn as I move forward.

Gene: For the paint, I looked at a lot pictures of early rails and to me it looked like most of the ones that i saw did not have a gloss paint job. I used a matt finish. I agree It looks too flat.

Brad: I messed up on the exhausts. I glued the block and the cylinder heads together before I noticed that the exhaust has to be inserted before you glue the heads and block together. I am learning that I need to look forward when building.

Hopefully, as I gain experience, I will get better at building. Also, when I do a build thread, I will add more pictures along the way.

Again, thanks for the input and please continue to add your thoughts and suggestions. Now I am off to my next build.

Thanks,

Bill
