1955 Ford Panel Truck

Well, things were going good until I got to the distributor.  The kit distributor and my 3D printed distributor are both to close to the elongated air breather.  No way I could run plug wires so I pulled off the kit 3 deuces and long air cleaner.  I found a different 3 deuce setup that doesn't fit as good as I would like but it'll have to do.

Got the wheels & tires done so I thought a little mock-up was in order to make sure the stance is still where it should be.  I'm a happy camper with it.

 

 

 

Stance is looking spot on with those wheels Bob.

Much obliged there Luke.  The stance turned out pretty nice.  I'm happy with it.

Bob, good call on the Titanium Silver for the wheels. They remind me of the old polished magnesium wheels.

Great carb setup on the engine too.

Thanks David.  There is something about the carb setup that just doesn't look right to me.  I may paint the plate under the carbs the color of the intake.

Zippi, any chance a "crab style " distributor will let you run the carbs you want to? Maybe look for a 3d file for one. Just a thought

It’s coming along nicely Bob. The wheels look great!😎

It may have worked but I've already solved the issue.  Thanks Buddy.

I appreciate it man.  I think the wheels along with the stance came out pretty nice.

Thanks Keith.  It's coming along.

I got the distributor wired and installed.  I shaved the emblem off the side of the hood.  It was so faint that I didn't see a good way for me to make it look good.  I'll look and see if I have any decals I could use in that area.  I also puttied up the firewall and it will get sanded smooth.
