This is looking very very impressive. I am really enjoying your work mate and for someone who has been out of it for awhile, it must be like riding a bike...

Thanks mate! I got side-tracked last night checking out my F189 kit and awesome S27 decals so not much got done...

Thanks mate...more to come this weekend!

A bit more done at the close of the weekend...

The kit ignition box was modified by cutting off the molded on coil, replacing it with a cut-down Detail Master aluminum coil, then a few holes were drilled and some wires added. The coil was colored red with a Sharpie pen, wow,instant anodize! More detail still to be added later on.


The kit distributor cap was filled with epoxy and marked out for drilling. Alum. rod was then glued in, filed down and a coat of XF-9 Hull Red applied. I buffed off the tips on the caps so you can see it better




And finally a little mockup!

Thanks mate! See you again late in the week

Hey Michael how is the progress going? Been awhile since you posted...

[chongman]

Hey mate! Ran into a couple of clearance fit problems with the rear shocks and coolant pipe mounting on the back of the engine. Got the shocks fixed and almost figured out the pipes. I set it aside and just did some painting of front suspension parts. I'll be posting picture upates this weekend for sure!
