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. ;)

do you mean make them look like there sagging in between the dizzy and the first holder ???

if so taken on board and just done it lol .

thanks for the comment and advice .

and last ones

engine nearly done just the belt and fan to go .

i looked up on the net and incase anyone is wondering why there is 3 wires hanging off its because 1 for the battery and the other red and black is for the alternator . it can wire straight up to the starter and earth to the block .

Don't know how I managed to miss this thread, but awesome work so far!!. I have the Revell "Special Edition" '68 Charger kit and for those who don't have one, get one! They are fantastic kits that are easy enough for a novice, but well suited for detailing by the experienced builder. One of the best I have seen in years. Great job Stu. Looking forward to more progress.

thanks mate i did the "70 charger" kit and that was so nice to put together and a joy to build .

Well now those plug wires look good! Great job on the chassis too. It's going to be really nice build, when finished. I'm sure about that. Nova is nice car, and I like that color scheme, you've used so far.

the "70 charger" pics are on here somewhere lol in "under glass" .

What do you mean pull the wire's tighter to the model ?

Thanks everyone for the comments there really helping me out on this one .
