crazyjim Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 This is an IPMS Reviewer Corps build of the Revell '57 Ford Gasser kit. I didn't build it as a gasser, but more a mild custom. It's finished in HOK planet green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks Joe. Bear in mind I'm retired and usually spend every afternoon in my shop where there's always 3 builds going.I am also retired, but for some reason there is a list of "to do" items longer than my arm. That being said, this is one beautiful Ford wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Nice touch using the AMT valve covers. The plug wires are on a impossible place for a Y-Block tough. They have to get to the spark plugs from below. making them reach the spark plugs like you did will result on the wires melting in contact with the manifold. On a 1:1, of course.

crazyjim Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks Tulio, Dann, and Jan. I wanted chrome valve covers so I picked a set from the parts bin. I don't know what they came from. I was thinking of running the ignition wires over the exhaust manifolds, but didn't think that was correct, so I went under them. Which was much more work.
