Here's another one I just finished up. This is my first time trying to add weathering. I added the plug wires, fuel line, heater hoses and an air injection system. I'm still trying to scrounge up a decent looking battery and some mirrors for it. Thanks for looking Jeff

I don't get it either. That's the what the kit came with. It's molded to the chassis pan. I didn't have anything to try and make it look better so I just left it as is.

oddly, it does look like something got left out of the kit for the front suspension, steering linkage and stabilizing suspension parts seem to be missing (from what would be on a real car...)

nice work on the engine detail.

may I suggest (in the future) sanding off the mold flash (the raised line that runs the entire length of the leaf springs, on the differential assembly) if you want to have it look like a real car... not that I'm criticizing or anything like that...just in case you haven't seen what leaf springs look like....

Cavemanx , its actually red the lighting and camera gave it an odd color in the pics.

Blunc, I really didn't notice how bad that seem line was until I had it installed. I should know better I was a mechanic by trade for a number of years Lol. It was more an excercise in wheathering and engine detail for me. Thanks for the comments all are welcome thats how I learn and get better Jeff
