hey guys, here is my next project.

got started with the engine. ran a a couple lines, fuel and oil. will work on the plug wires next. also the spots for the heater hoses are drilled out, i will add those in later on.

I didn't worry about detailing the Carb, since the air filter will be covering that up!

Nice start! What did you use to make it look nice and grimy, looks like Migs Neutral wash.

That is a very nice looking engine so far So are you going for a bone stock build or a modded car?

You make it look so simple. Excellent start.

thanks guys! yes going for a period type look factory stock.
for the weathering I just mix up pastel chalk with water and brush on a few layers then wipe the extra off with a q-tip

I got the rest of the parts on the engine. also painted up the radiator.

bonus picture of the workbench!

Nice clean work as usual SS.

I'm anxious to see the color combo you choose.

Nice tidy work space too, maybe that's why you get so many models done...and I don't. :hmmm
