This is a curbside with a little twist. I detailed the engine a bit and displayed it outside of the car. Please excuse the rag over the manifold, but we didn't want the rodents getting into the engine while the carbs were off.

I have to admit I had some troubles with this kit. Neat subject, but I had some fitting problems. If you look close you may see some of the dust it picked up around the pits. Thanks for looking.

That's really cool. I especially like the way you adjusted the ride height in the front.

It looks like an old, homely, no-name built car. I LOVE it. Just my style. Simple, not cluttered, no frills. Really nice build. You might want to drop something with a bit more giddy-up though in there though...

Love it, simple and that's just how a lot of them ran....run what ya brung!

Thanks for the comments guys. I replaced the last picture with a new one to better show the dust. Remember, there wasn't so many paved roads back in the late 50's. Not to mention the pits were often dirt. Here is another pic.

Ryan; These little Chevy sixes were known for their low end torque. This one has been hopped up with dual carbs., head and cylinder work. Also, it was common for racers to choose a particular engine size to help put them in a particular (lower) class.

Fantastic look to this.

Guess I've been drinking too much of the V8 Koolaid...

I didn't know that! But it makes sense, some of the Mustang 6-bangers were pretty torquey. I like that added picture! You can really see the dust now. Did you just use some chalk pastel or something? I like it.

Yep, just chalk pastel. It's hard to get it to stick to a smooth surface.
