So... since the city of Walnut Creek told all of the small businesses to shut down at 1 pm on Monday because of the protesters and looters. So I had to shut down my shop.. but I made the best of the situation, I was able to build most of the linkage for the fuel injection, a lot of small parts and those springs took a bit to to get installed. And try not to stretch! Thanks for looking Chris nice work Chris, MFH has some insanely detailed kits and i have a few waiting to be built some day. the paint scheme looks like a decal nightmare on this one, but should really pop when done. So is your shop in Walnut Creek a hobby shop ? i always like to support local small hobby shops because they are becoming fewer and fewer.

Thanks for checking out my build!! Sorry, I am in the automotive industry. I own an Alignment shop. There was a time when I thought a Hobbyshop would be cool. But with the price of rent and insurance in Northern California, it’s just not financially feasible. |

Paul,
The detail are truly insane. Add lines to the fuel injection pump and I'm sure it will pump the fuel to the engine without any issues.

I got some more stuff done on the engine. I did have some of the parts assembled on the side.
Looking forward to running the plug wires and plumbing the fuel injection.
Thanks for looking
Chris

Paul,
Sorry for my screw up. I actually knew that but still screwed it up. Can I claim old age as an excuse?
Chris,
Just an outstanding detailed build of a super detailed engine.
