Don't ask me why I do it, but it makes me feel pretty damn good. Here is one week's worth of work for a distributor.  Hosted on FotkiHere are the detail public.fotki.com/Scottcolmer/on_the_bench-1/page4.htmlWish me luck. I have to finish the fuel system and dashboard. I think I'll break down and run brake lines. Next project is only going to have plug wires. THAT'S IT! Flounder |

WOW!!! That's amazing!!! I to know all about these type of projects, they are very brain straining at best, but the end results are well worth it. You can only do so many of these type builds in a life time, and time is running out for some of us older gents!!! I think I might have one more left in me...lol. Again, great work Scott, can't wait to see the end results.

Next project is only going to have plug wires. THAT'S IT! Flounder Now where have I heard that before....?? Oh yeah, I said it! Problem is, for me it's like that potato chip commercial with a twist.... I can't just detail one thing!! ;D The whole build is looking awesome! And that distributor is wicked! keep up the good good work, and best of luck on your deadline. |

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement gents! The fittings are from Detail Master. They come in a variety of sizes. You can get both parts of the fitting and the hardline too. They can be colored red and blue with sharpies. Love those glasses. They are pretty close to what I use when I am not near a magnifying lamp, which has been lately because I have been working in the house to be with the family a little more. I bought some high magnification reading glasses that work pretty well. I was able to plumb the manifold below in a hotel room using them.  Hosted on FotkiHopefully today I can get the fuel system wrapped up. Flounder |

VERY IMPRESSIVE FLOUNDER..!
I must agree with Scurvy, you've taken up with the Jone's..! Normally I'd say you need to get out more often but I know that's not true... One hellaba reproduction Scott, makes me proud to have been a small part of this..!
