1965 Chevy Pickup & Hemi Hydro combo

Oh yeah, if you haven't noticed, I got the  disc brakes and rims/tires on the suspension, so the chassis is just about done, I just need to get the exhaust installed along with the spare tire and it'll be completed. But this update is about more of my obsessive/compulsive building style...

See the separation line molded in to the front end...the one that separates the upper front panel from the fender? Yeah, it stops dead right there, I couldn't have that, so I continued it up and over the top like it's supposed to be! I've been looking at that partial line for a while now, and I just had to fix it! Now I've got to cut the separation line in the lower panel too, even though it'll get hidden almost completely by the bumper!



Much better looking, but who's gonna notice it other than psychos like me?

I finally did a bit more engine work for the truck. I painted the 4 barrel intake with some Metalizer Aluminum Plate, buffed it up and glued it down, then drilled it out for the Fatkidd distributor...



And got the plug wires glued in place on the passenger side of the engine. I'll touch-up the area under the boots once the glue has dried, and hopefully be able to finish this off tomorrow night!

I got a bit of work done last night, but nothing major. I got the engine wiring completed, and discovered that the Fatkidd distributor was missing it's coil wire! So I'll find a piece of wire around here to use in it's place, because this kit actually comes with a coil!



I did a quick mock-up of the engine in the truck, and popped the hood open...like I said earlier, the kit hinges actually work beautifully on this one, a first for me!

For the last update tonight, we're moving back to the boat's engine....I grabbed some goodies for the braided lines I'm using for the cooling system! Having never used anything like this before, I'm probably gonna screw something up, but I got all the fittings for 75% off, so I couldn't pass 'em up!

nice score on the fittings bud
do you use the testors metalizer or alclad?
havent used a fatkit dizzy yet, worth the money?
