In order to avoid stepping on John Tapsell’s thread, I decided to start a post on Bad News.
In his thread the idea came up that it might have been re-engined. Why else would you relocate the radiator?
It may not be a 302, but it’s a V-8, and can fill the void in the engine bay nicely. In real life, it would require some modification, what what cool project doesn’t?
This works. There’s little visible, but enough the you’ll see those Ford Blue valve covers from the front.
It fits, and the hood comes all the way down even with the air cleaner.
The sun even shines on a dog’s ass some days.
By the way, if you’re following this and have the bullet style headlights to trade, I’ll trade in your favor for them. This whole time I’ve thought I had a Palmer kit that had them. I may still, but this was the only I found in my rummaging, which doesn’t have them
Yes, I can see that. I’m hoping not to purchase a whole kit (again) for a couple of parts. Hence my query. I don’t really care what they come from as long as they look the part.
It was only a matter of time. Although I do want to thank you for looking.
I have a scary stache. Or is it stash? Both I think. I found exactly what I need in the old Revell Katyusha, which I have more than one of. Complete with clear lenses too:
