Been watching this from the start, what a great build it is turning into.

Here are a few ideas for headers for a Flathead and engine detail on a dirt track jalopy. These are three of my mates historic stockcars running flatheads. And yep they are supposed to be right hand drive, the steering box is on the correct side, they are in NZ.

Got the decals on the car now. Nothing fancy about the numbers or the sponsor. Don't think they put alot on these cars. Going through Ron's pictures i didn't see any of them with alot of graphics like they do today.

Should get a little more done over the weekend and hope to get back to the modified also.

Thanks DJ means alot to me. Big thanks again for the kit to build this car. I would have never guessed that there was that much work in a car as basic as these things are. It makes the work that Ron & Paul put in their cars that much more impressive to me. This being my first jalopy an all it has been a real learning curve. My next one after i get this one finished will be a hot rod jalopy. But, that will be awhile before i get to it :lol:

Got some more work done on the motor. Have the wires run to the plugs now. When one thing gets crossed off the list i seem to find something else that needs done. Got the battery from the kit painted. Still have detail touchup work left to do.
