Coming along nicely.  I'm like Jim....I really like those flattys.  When I had my 1:1 37 Ford pickup Street Rod I was wanting a flatty for it but they were way above my paygrade.

Like how you did the plug wires and the "Crab" distributer. Now I know how to make that look correct.

Thank you Bob, I know the flatties were somewhat underpowered compared to the ohv engines of the day, but I just love the way they look, so I try to incorporate them as often as I can.

Great colour choice and I LOVE the wheel/tire combo, model on brother!

 

 

Thank you Dennis, I think that the right set of wheels/tires either makes it breaks a model and monogram did some great combos in the sixties, it almost hurts me to break them from the kits.

Thank you David, I’m glad that at least one of my modelling ideas helps at least one person. It may not be 100% accurate but it looks a lot better and is easier to keep them neat n tidy.

Thank you Alex, the hardest time for me in any build is colour selection.

The colors work beautifully. 

Thanks Jim, I did say ignore the frame ?

Took a short Break from the heat outside(don’t get a lot of nice weather here on the far east coast) and opened the box and mocked up the car since my last visit with it. I was not happy with the interior at all, and the channel with the tub was not sitting the way I envisioned it. 
So I removed that tub and have started fresh.

Might have to raise the interior floorboards to compensate for the body channeling.   

I have a plan in action David, test fitting and trimming to make it work.

Nice to see this one back on the bench Bil !?

Thanks Greg. It needs a fair bit of reworking but that adds to the challenge.
