Thanks Leon!!! So far it seems that everything is going to work. Just gotta get those inner fenders / shock towers in now and we're home free for the final assembly phase. This is EXACTLY what I was shooting for. The only thing that has me bothered is an excessive angle on the engine. I've got a couple of ideas to iron things out a bit. On the home stretch now....   |

Thanks Bruce and Dennis! I'm so close on this thing I could reach out and smack the finish line. Just a little closer today but has taken alot of work to get this far. I had to redo the throttle linkage twice at the intake due to weird angles I had with the linkage set up. Got it all straightened out now. Also added a PE radiator cap for a little extra detail. I'm back to having to work with the hood just a tad to get it to close fully but it shouldn't be too big of a problem.   |

Amazing Joe, I'm just blown away by the detail on that linkage, and heck everything else about this build. I'll never achieve close to this level of building models in my remaining years of modeling. Just WOW!!
