Looking great! You're really flying on this build.
I have a lot of catch-up to do.

 

[GaryG64]

This is what I mixed up.

That's a close color. Looks good.
Did a little research and it appears there is the tan interior and a black interior.

I saw the black interior but I'm going with the tan interior.
The color mix is 10:1 buff to field drab by weight. 10 grams buff, 1 gram field drab

Since I totally suck at mixing ratios and thinning paint. I'll just need to order some light tan from Amazon, if The local craft store (Hobby Lobby) does not have any.

I'm kinda cheating with the interior as I have this on the shelf. Pantherman

I thought I had the same.. but it's Dunkel Gelb. Booo.Book.
By the way, pay no attention the the messy bench. It's still cluttered from the truck build.

Are y'all planning on weathering your engines with a wash?

I would kinda like to keep it clean as possible, probably just some panel liner. PM

I was not planning on doing any weathering

 

[GaryG64]

Ok.
I was thinking of putting a little sepia wash around just to give it some definition Around the parts and lines.

It has been fun, even though i had a late start.

 

[GaryG64]

Well, it's 1:30 am, and I finished the engine. The distributor gave me some trouble drilling holes it each connection.
I'm still working on the headers.

Plug wires is a nice touch.

Thanks. It was very tedious, but fun.

Got the headers added and engine mounted!
I went with the headers as if they had been used and gotten hot.
