I am pulling this off of the "shelf of doom" and going to finish it. I started it a year and a half ago and got caught up in planes, some destroyers and a star ship. My stash is real low and I want to finish it up as I am just retired and now have the time. It is pretty much OOB except that I am relocating the exhaust through the trunk and out the tail lights as the original car did. I have about 2 dozen Revell NASCARs under my belt and use to spend a lot of time at Randy Ayers NASCAR site. Here's where I am at.---John

Here's the rest of the engine pictures.---John

Looking good so far, John. I really wanted to see one of these kits built, because I wanted to buy it more than once.

I'll follow this one.

Cheers!

Engine & transmission look nice.

Cool, say hello to John. My family lives closer to Albany
and in western Massachusetts. I am a Massachusetts native retired to Florida.---John

John,
Great start to the 57 Ford. Brings back some really fond memories as my father's 1st car was a 54 Ford which looked just like the 57'.

The engine and transmission really looks quite good.

Looking forward to your next update.

Joel
