Ulf Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 When I first read it I thought you had put in a Volvo engine which would not be unreasonable but that was not the case. Anyway, it looks great.

TarheelRick Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 A Volvo powered Ford pickup would make sense, much beter than a Chevrolet engine. Really like what you are doing with this one.

Ulf Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 There has been at least one 30-32 Ford hot rod sporting a Volvo 1,8 l B18 in Sweden, one of the resin 1/24 from Tradera* straight mounted ? *Swedens EBay

customline Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Can't wait to see what you're doing a year from now. You hit the ground running. Don't stop! If you haven't already, look at a thread titled "RUST" in the "Under Glass" section. There's a picture of a product some of us use to create a rusted finish. It's called Sophisticated Finishes. You would use the "rust" variety (there are others for different finishes). Since you are in this deep, you might try it. Of course , it may not be available in your neck of the woods. It's a pretty good short cut to convincing rust. It's really rust! 1
