I have been seeing quite a few of these nicely built lately. Yours ranks right with the other nice ones.

Beautiful looking build. Lots of fine detailing. This is one fiddly kit.

Very nice build of a finicky kit!

[larman]

Great job on a hard to build kit! That's a great color and the engine is a nice upgrade from the one in the kit.

That looks great, Bob!  As others have said, not an easy kit to make look right but you did it.  Nice job!

Of course, the engine needs to be replaced as well. 

That's for sure. Revell's interpretation of a Ford SOHC motor is downright ghastly. The good part is that just about any other engine will drop right in with no modification. I built a Henry J a few years back and used a Revell Parts Pack Ford 427 wedge in it.

Nice.  I'll bet that 427 looked good in the business end of that Henry J.
