I like it. The set back of the body and engine make it one of a kind.

Some updates. Pinning the radiator  Getting gas to the carbs  Mockups. While I'm at it, I'd like to give a shout to the genius patternmakers of AMT, who figured they had to have at least three sprue attachment points to the chromed rims of EACH of the 6 velocity stacks !!!!    BTW, This white was only supposed to be a base color. Now, I'm thinkin it over....it doesn't look too bad |

I like the way the headers dump on the running boards. LOL Open the headers blow off the dust.

Those headers pass thru holes in the upper running board panels. Makes it a bit awkward to get the engine in place. Why I will have to assemble this in parts after paint. My first idea was to play with this. I was wondering what a T bodied Low rider would look like. I previously would never think of using these Donk wheels in a serious build. I figured that low rider graphics would be hard to pull off and it wouldn't be hard to return this to junker status after I mucked it up.  But now, It's looking pretty good and I'm torn between giving it a nice white paint job or screwing it up with attempts at a lot of graphics. |

I don't know what you have planned, but I agree it looks good white. Real good.

Since this thing has morphed itself away from my original intention, I figured that old original firewall had to go. So I made another from flat styrene and a water bottle cap.  |
