Thanks guys. Ron "Jezebelle" looks awesome . Well all i am doing for the day is hard mounting the front bumper. The way i had it in mock up it would have fallen off the first time i used it. Gave it a little more distance from the radiator. Tried to make it as crude as possible and still function as a bumper. It is all angle pieces. Main square is just a bit bigger than the supports posts. Would this have been bolted on or welded?![]()

Could not resist posting this mock up. Starting to get fired up about this build now that it looks more like a race car now. Painted the frame semi-gloss black to make it blend better with the red and white body. I know the wheels aren't the ones i am using on the car before someone says i can't use them /b/ . Hope to put a clear coat on the body tomorrow. Also removed the chrome from the engine parts and will get it primer tomorrow. No clue what color these motors were but it will not be black. Don't want it to blend in with the frame. I will be using the number 67 for this build.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

ALL RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!! LOOKIN' GOOD, KEVIN !!!!!!!!!!! The color combo is real "of the era" type too !!!!!!!! DJ ps---and RON was giving you all the different "factory colors", and those were certainly ALL OVER THE PLACE, but too, have seen ones that different people have painted all most "every color under the sun" in order to "match their car"......... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!!!!!!!!!! |

Thanks guys for the kind words. Ron really want to say a big thank you for taking the time to put the engine color chart together. Went through my military paints and came up with a close green i think. When it cures i will go back and paint the detail stuff.![]()

Today i just reworked the sprint car seat i used in some of the pictures i have already posted. As it was it was incorrect. Removed the support on the right side of the seat and carved it to look like the left side. On the motor i want to wire it up but i don't know where the wires begin. I know they end on the plugs but where do they start? When i start to mount the seat would it be correct if i do a center mount with it? Then where would the pedels and steering wheel be? Plan is to use the stock rims in the kit but with a little wider tire if i can get them to fit. Does the tread pattern matter? Plan on decaling a little tomorrow since it will have been 48 hours since i coated the body with future floor polish. It still isn't shinning the way i want yet but it will when i am done i hope. |

Kevin on your flathead the distributor is in the front of the block right in the center.Im sure Ron has a picture of it The seat should be in its stock position as is the steering wheel Carl |

r2d2 Just for info Kev, what I do to wire an early Flatty is drill a horizontal hole through the distributor (just large enough to slip 4 ignition wires thru, wires long enough for both banks) take a small drop of CA on a toothpick to center them, and your good to go. Trim as needed, and if needed a small drop of black paint to cover the CA on the sides of the distributor. They really are easier than a late model !!!! :(
