'65 Fury. Back on the Bench.

In case you want another detail.

That little hump on the drivers side of the bell housing is the clutch rod linkage location.

Thanks Bill, but the madness has to end at some point!

 

Thanks for trying though.

Oh c'mon,  you know you want to. ?

Shouldn't be a mountain for a climber like you! HAHA

I'm sure that I could probably manage it, but I like to try to focus my efforts on things that will be readily seen.

If I remember correctly, it was getting into things like chassis brake lines, fuel lines, emergency brake cables, etc, that began to bog me down years ago when I began to lose interest in building.

Now I like to focus on bodies, interiors and occasionally engines, but I try to refrain from getting too heavily into chassis detail.

As long as your having fun doing whatever your doing, that's what counts. 

Just some gentle ribbing from me. ?

I understand guys.

I just thought that an explanation of why I don't dive into too much chassis detail might be in order under the circumstances.

I appreciate the fact that you guys follow and contribute to my build threads.

The more input, the better as far as I'm concerned.

 

Thank you!

I might check now that you mention it Bill, and at least see if that detail will be exposed in any way on the finished model.

If so, I suppose I could at least paint it black.

 

Lord.....why don't you guys leave me alone?!

I havent even built a bench yet.  Yet alone work on a model in over a year...closer to 2 now since the move to AZ.

By all means Bill, welcome aboard!

 

I'm more than happy to try to put your wealth of knowledge to work on my projects until you're able to start on your own projects.

Your ideas are always welcomed and valued.

 

Now, that said, how are you with 1968 Olds 442s?

I'm sure I'll need some advice and pointers on that project once the Plymouth s finished.

Possibly.....I did own an Olds Omega S in '74. (Prolly still doesn't qualify me.) LoL

Not sure if that will help much, but it's one more Olds than I've ever owned.

[Bucky]

LOL

 

I'd much rather own a Plymouth like the one you're building, here!!

[StevenGuthmiller]

The 426 with the removable air cleaners in place.

[freddy_fo]

That is top notch work on the engine there. 

[Bucky]

A thing of beauty!!  So realistic!!

[Belugawrx]

Nice work on the engine Steve!
