Hell, you were building this when I was on my 56 F-100!! Lookin' forward to more.Joe, it may be too much detail. I did start this one back in 2013, and became such a huge project that I got totally burnt. I do want to get it finished so I am pushing my self to getting it done, with just the truck and the tomb trailer. I want to finish the 1932 car as well but will see how that goes when I get closer to completion.

slusher Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Real nice color choice Darren, is it Inca Gold??
Darren B Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Real nice color choice Darren, is it Inca Gold??Carl, yes the Inca Gold from Testors , I love the one coat line of lacquer paint that they put out. They dry fast and have a good color line, only draw back is that they are thick.
Darren B Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Not much to update have a lot of bodywork I am working on and the fit issue with the engine and the fire wall, will have more soon hopefully...One of the fit issues was with the air cleaner I was originally going to use was to high and long, did not fit, so I will use this little pyramid shape as an air-cleaner....

slusher Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Darren, will sanding get you anymore clearance on the firewall. Something has to be off.
Darren B Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 Darren, will sanding get you anymore clearance on the firewall. Something has to be off.Carl, did some sanding and the intake manifold fits better, as far as the spark plug boot Ill just make them real short and bend it. What I do not understand by looking at hundreds of pics of the 1:1 real trucks the fire wall just has a very slight indentation and the real engine does not even get near the firewall, but the models engine actually sits back behind the fire wall. Guess its how they engineered the model. I am close thou.
