Ya I know,..I didn't commit to the angled boots...went straight plug-ins on the distributor...proper firing order tho....lmao Once the c/a dries I can mush them down a bit

Ha, I knew it! I hope you adjusted the spark plug gaps while you were at it.

So anyways,..let's get down to the nitty gritty
Not many parts left to install..top screen and night lights installed....side mirrors, 4 speed shifter, gas tank intakes,...vents still left to attach...
Brake lines done, grille permanently in, ...
Pipe clamps, push bar, battery, headers, seats and belts are left to do...

Almost ready to finish the Bronco..seems like I finish one thing and 10 more pop up
Couple more things to do..I did replace the white decals on the front placard with .005 evergreen sheet
Tire lettering, straight pipes, seatbelts,...there's a list.
Thanks for looking
Cheers

No WIP sorry..got into it this morning and just kept going
So the jack..took about 20 pieces of styrene shapes ..U channel, T channel
(drilled), L strip, hex rod, brass rod, and a heat shrink grip..painted duplcolor red and Tamiya brushed the rest..my own Grime mix
Shovel..Manhandled a chunk of .050 sheet aluminium, filed it sharp on the edges and shiny all over.. put a tooth pick in my Dremel and thinned it to fit..heat shrink tube at the hosels and the flames gave the tooth pick great grain, so I left it alone. Brush painted the red/orange with CraftSmart paint, loaded the blade with the Grime wash, and when dry, filed off the paint.
Next time..

Your detailing is incredible! But I'd say that is a Mustang or Falcon, not a Bronco

Just an example of straight boots to the distributor bud..didn't care what the car was..
Although it does look like a 289
