AMT '64 Comet kit bash

Beautiful engine detailing! If I may ask, what did you do for your distributor? It looks like you put your wires in a bigger diameter wire insulation then wrapped that.

I got that saw from my friend Dave, he buys from China in bulk and sells locally. He's NOT on the computer though.

My distributor is one of Greg Stegall's, I use them all the time, I think they're great.

No shrink wrap, just the .030 wires with slightly larger wire insulation for boots at both ends.

I always cut off the thin shaft and open up the intake manifold for the dizzy to sit lower down.

I bought a bunch of his with angled boots but they ARE too large, may be good for 1/18th scale, I can't use them on any of my builds.

I'm on my 3rd distributor from Greg's, they are really nice pieces.

I've had this photo-etch air cleaner for years so I decided it was time to use it!

Looks okay on the resin carb I had from who-knows-where.

Need to make linkages and I really can't do much more until the body marries the frame!

Engine needs to go in from the top, won't fit between the bottom of the inner fenders.

Cheers!

Excellent work so far, especially that engine! Should be a sharp build when complete.
