1965 Chevy Pickup & Hemi Hydro combo

I got the boat all sanded smooth, just a bit of fine sanding is left before it's ready.









I somehow missed this sink mark...and the one on the other side of the dash! I'll throw a bit of filler on it and take care of those little problems!

Now for a bit of engine work! I mocked-up the headers to see how they were gonna look, not too bad!



I spent the rest of last night getting the wiring started. Adding a photo-etched wire loom to these Fatkidd distributors is fun, I don't know how Paul makes 'em, but getting that boot back on after adding the PE piece is a blast!  







Oh, and the starter is in place...it's also drilled for a bit of wiring when the time comes!

Next, I completed the plug wires, and installed the coil. I plan on adding a black wash around each plug wire to cover the weird looking area around the boots later.









And finally, I glued the carbs in place, so the boat's engine is nearly completed!

I finally got some Primer/Sealer on the boat. I'll let it cure for a few days, and see if I have any problem areas to address. Right now I can see a slight run at the top of the dash, but that's a minor issue, everything else is looking good!

Well, I sanded down the boat a bit more, applied a bit more putty to a few tiny issues, and decided to tackle the ill-fitting hood on the truck. After trying to get it to fit right, I ended up screwing it up with hot water....

So I went out and grabbed a second truck kit to steal the hood from. Since I'm going to get another kit, I figured I could hack the bed up a bit and really get it looking right...



Yup, I'm going to really make the bed look good, it's gonna look like it should now...wood bed floor and all! This baby is gonna look like I want it to, whether it likes it or not!
