Thanks. The engine and drive shaft are in. I set the body on to test the fit.
Need to add headers and still pondering wiring.---John

It looks really good with the yellow. I'm guessing the engine paint is Testors' enamel.

I have the body glued to the chassis, the headers glued to the engine and exhaust system,
the radiator glued in and I made 2 supports to connect the radiator to the firewall and painted
them chrome silver. Now I need to add radiator hoses, finish the front fenders, fabricate head light brackets, then finish up with door handles, tail lights, and the likes.---John

I have the prototype fenders made up. Once the glue is set I
can try fitting them and adjust the brackets to fit.---John
