Got the fuel tank painted. I will be painting the brackets aluminium.

Velocity stacks assembled.

OOPPS!   My photography skills need some work. I'm used to using actual film. Darn this new-fangeled tecnology!

Also mannaged to straighten out the frame. (One front wheel was off the ground ) and installed the Radious rods,Tierod ,Drag-link.

I thought the firewall was kind of bland so I added some chrome trim.

Can't decide if I shoult dress up the rest of the trim in chrome. I'm open to suggestions.

Got the sparkplug wires mounted to the valve covers. I drilled out the holes and glued the wires in from the underside of the valve covers. These pictures are of my second attempt. The first try I used a closer to scale gauge wire that looked like crap.

The kit supplied distributor wasnt going to work for this so I used a short piece of Evergreen  tubing to "shove" the wires through.

I also decided the kit supplied blower was a bit to big. (A different scale ?) So I switched to the kits Injector stacks. Now the "coolness" factor is at  11 .

I will post more pic's later today.

Sorry guys but I started this before I got the camera .So I'm about 80% done.

Still have to get the frame straightened out  and some other stuff added but heres what I have so far.....

Please excuse the dust in some of the pictures. It was windy outside.
