How did I miss this one? Pretty cool. Nicely done, except.... You made one small mistake, especially if your running without hub caps. You have your your front wheels on the rear. And your rear wheels on the front. The the center of your rear wheels has a part that bulges out. These are the grease caps for the front wheel bearings. The rear axle does not need these. So there should be nothing sticking through the center of the wheels in back.

Other than that one mistake, you did a very nice job. At the same time, the car would have come with the hub cap as standard equipment. So why not use them?

Oh.... And you have no intake manifold or carburetors for your engine! Split exhaust manifolds are cool. Your car has a way to exhaust gas, but no way to take in air or fuel from what I can see.

Maybe the lack of a way of getting fuel into their truck's engines, is why your mail doesn't come in a more timely manner Al! I hope Mr. Mendoza has a sense of humor. Over all it's a nice model. It's just missing a thing or two.

:lol: Guilty! The engine needs work. I just didnt want it to be an empty engine bay so I placed one from my 51 chevy parts box. The wheels have been corrected since pics were taken. This was mostly to get started with my resin collection.

Thanks for the comments guys
