;D Like Bill said, "We are here to learn!" I also agree with your statement Mike, that You can never have enough "visual aides" for a build. "Show me" and I can follow, there is just to many "interpretations" to an explanation.  So, with that said . . . . .   Scratch built bracket from sheet plastic  Painted and mounted in place this was mounted after the fuel lines and injectors were finished so as not to break any of the work before-hand  Drilled out the injector bases for the fuel lines  fuel lines going in  I cut and stripped some wire then super glued it to the manifold    Some shots of the engine  Radiator hoses in place  Brake cylinder in place, wipers removed and drilled out, with the hood mounting pins in place  Jewelry wire was used for the hood pins and the holes on the hood are drilled, but, I didn't center my shot  I sanded off some glue blobs from the bumper and re-glued the bumper nubs     A few more shots of the mock-up I just read an article in Scale Auto Magazine about Gary Seeds, "A BIG THANK YOU TO HIS WORK!," ;D I believe I have my paint scheme worked out. And I picked a name for it too!  Later Guys Russ  |

 Okay!! Got my wife to get the right batteries!! I have been "slacking" BIG TIME!!! SSSSOOOO . . . . . . .  The engine is mounted and ready to be sealed up . . . . .  Here I have the top sprayed white. Which had to be done twice cause I got a speck of something in it. CRAP!!  Here is the body sprayed with Boyds Alumina Yellow, I wasn't to thrilled with this . . .  but, after looking at it awhile, it kinda grew on me.  Well, I tried getting the body and interior on and, these had to come out because of the set back of the injectors.  I had to cut out the firewall and replace it .  Then I had to take out the windshield, because . . .  I failed to compensate for glass height of the roll bar! So, once I get those fixed and painted, I will have more pic's! Later Russ
