    What movie is it going to be in?
     
  6. Now there's an eye for detail and a Ton of time spent! What motor is under those valve covers? Looks like early Lincoln/Merc?

  9. I take that back, I see the corners of 302 valve covers peeking out from under the Y-Block ones we are looking at. Very well done.
     
  10. The burp tank and very creative dist. cover threw me.

    Nice details...I like details.
    FYI, I've had issues with silicone hose collapsing under vacuum when it gets warm.

    Looks like there was a berserker in the family line. I like it. Very well done.

    What'cha got going on with that headliner? Is it metal? Shiny vinyl? Mirrored? Looks pretty choice.
     
  18. As far as that goes I'd like to see more of your Avitar. I speak fluent Green Car, 57 Ford as well as F-100. The Avitar looks Chopped with a Visor as well and F-1 Grill bars? I like it!

    I mean the engine is a later small block. It's not a 57 engine.

    Incredible workmanship! Tons of detailing. But, with that said, not really a fan of the front end myself. Still an awesome car.

    I made the taillights from the frames of the headlights and the bumpers from Camaro bumpers.
