Ken Gilkeson Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 instructions are vague on placement of some parts and test fitting is a must. I have the basic chassis together, and the engine painted. I really like that they put the firestone tires in the kit for proper spacing of the rears. I carefully got the rims together but still need dulled down a little. I have wanted to build this kit for years and picked this up immediately when I saw it on the shelf. as for color I have six cans that are being considered. more later..
Ken Gilkeson Posted September 7, 2019 Author Posted September 7, 2019 got the rear suspension and axles mounted. rear wheels looking more like aluminum, fronts to do yet. coming along.
Ken Gilkeson Posted September 8, 2019 Author Posted September 8, 2019 chassis about ready for paint, there's a slight twist that hopefully the wheels and tires will take out.
Sergey Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Oh my good! Those seems on tanks, air cleaner - too visable.. I would prime the chassis before paint.
Ken Gilkeson Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 thanks for your input Sergey, the back of the air cleaner is fine. the front won't be seen with the piping in place. as for the air tanks they have been scraped and a dark color will hide what is left.
Ken Gilkeson Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 engine will get lightly weathered once all the piping is hooked up.

Ken Gilkeson Posted September 10, 2019 Author Posted September 10, 2019 still working on intake system. got the engine about done though. starting on grill. there appears to be cab clearance for the piping.
