I like it. Keep it going please.

Looking nice, Stu. I use a variety of things for fuelines - 20 lb test fishing line (comes in clear and translucent red), different gauges of wire, #1 Beadalon beading crimps for fittings. I'm fairly cheap and don't like spending lots of money on braided lines and A/N fittings.

Looking good man

Looking good, I like the chassis colors. Looking forward to seeing some paint and what wheels you will be using.

thanks mate i will be using the wheels that are on the box on the yellow one . i dont really know the names of them lol

[crazyjim]

There's water all over the place around you, Stu. Nobody sells fishing line? Do you have a craft store? They usually have an assortment of wire in the bead section.

Nice I really like the color selection , please keep it going !

About the size as your ignition wire. 20# test fishing line works well. How about paper clips? They're harder to bend but work.

i did try paper clips in the past and they looked to big in my opinion lol .

We have a few different sizes of paper clips over here. The smaller ones don't look bad.

Stunning motor. The dipstick was a nice touch

[W-409]

Really nice details on that engine, looks great. I often forget to install dip stick... Hope you don't mind, if I give little suggestion: Maybe push those ignition wires bit lower from both sides of that distributor. Now those wires look like they are made from metal, as they are like that.

Maybe that doesn't matter in finished model, but that's what I should do.
