That's a great bit of wiring Joe.

Thanks you guys. This morning I added the distributor cap retainers and distributor hold down bracket with the retaining bolt. Working on the ignition coil, wiring and then the coil wire now.

I just didn't like how the "magneto" on the engine looked and it wasn't "correct" for the build so I removed it and went with a regular coil. I also dirtied up the ignition wires and added the distributor cap snap retainers as well.

Wow..... very nice!

Much better Joe, the red really stands out too!

Thanks fellas. We're now tackling the intake manifold, carburetors, lines and throttle linkage.

Stay tuned.......

Hurry up joe!

Been working on the fuel induction the whole week. I started out with the intake runners and plenum. Shot with the unpainted carburetors from Futureattraction:



Then I shot a coat of Tamiya X-31 Titanium Gold on 'em, filled in the throttle bores with some flat black and assembled them



Then came a dark brown acrylic wash, allowed to dry and followed up with a dry brushing of ground up black pastel to flatten it all out and add some "age" to them.

I took a comparative pic of both carbs. One on the left is with the wash and pastel treatment and the one on the right is without it.



And with both carburetors painted and "weathered". Now.....it's time to add the details.

Very nice.
