I finished the 390 CI engine minus the air cleaner decal and installed it into the chassis. The chassis is finished with all parts painted and installed. Now to start on the interior.

Thanks Joe! I'm working on this a little slower, but remembering to add details that I can remember as I go along and adding parts together the make a solid one color assembly. So far, I like were this is going!

Selecting color can be difficult at times. For the Cyclone, I thought of dark green, an assortment of blues, silver, maroon and red. I went with red based on a picture I saw on Google Images. I found some trash on the rear deck which will be cleaned up Then I need to paint the interior roof Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red.

I like red as well, but other factors like a previously seen photo with the car in that color or box art can "steer" a person towards that color.

Well, my good camera took a dump and stopped working today. I went and got my wife's camera and she left the batteries in it for over 5 years. I had to clean the contacts very well. The wheels and backing plates are one and I will have to shorten the metal axle for the rear axle housing. There must be a guy in China who pumps out these things all one length as I have to trim them! I went and found my chrome tubing and made some chrome exhaust tips.

Don't mind the two-tone interior, it is all one color-red! The lighting messes with the camera.
