Brutalform Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Looks amazing, JC! It’s coming together nicely. I like your subtle details like the starter housing, and oil filter mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl LaFong Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Great job so far! And the Moebius motor makes the various AMT versions look like something out of a Palmer kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Thanks Scott, Tom & Daniel. Keith, I agree very impressed with the Moebius SOHC, best I've seen in a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to have to pick up one of those kits. That engine does look great. No more need to cobble together parts from 15 kits to build a decent one!

Very nice, to finally have a good model of such an iconic, if not hugely common engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Would be nice if the aftermarket would offer up some intake options. Hillborn and/or a nice high raise manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks Bruce. Wasn't crazy about the brown was on the valve covers so I removed it and went with a black was in the ribs only. Edited March 27, 2019 by afx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drilled out the molded screen on the intake trumpets, might leave them open or install real screen later. Dude, that engine looks sweet even when there wasn't any paint on it yet. Rock tha house JC!! This one is going to be a good build for sure. Edited March 27, 2019 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Appreciate the comments gentlemen. The front clip should not be visible below the bumper but such are the challenges of getting everything to line up in kit bashing. Since it will be exposed I decided to detail it.
