What parts were you missing? I will make sure that I have them! M122 and M188. But another friend that got his said he had extra parts. So you need to do an inventory. Kyoko got my parts to me within 5 days. Great service! |

Kyoko got my parts to me within 5 days. Great service! Getting the 11 x 14 enlargements done ASAP. Then will do an inventory. I started step one because I knew I had the parts in hand. |

There are four pieces for the monoque walls. They are supposed to be polished. So I sent them through my polisher one at a time. Then I assembled them with the other pieces of the monoque.    I also got the basic engine parts cleaned up and assembled.   The trans and rear suspension has been mocked up.  96 |

Coming along nice!
Do you clearcoat or otherwise protect the polished parts from future tarnishing?
Thanks,
Ismael

Making progress, there, Paul! Looks good.
Are you just gluing or are you soldering?

Coming along nice! Do you clearcoat or otherwise protect the polished parts from future tarnishing? Thanks, Ismael Ismael, I haven't done anything to the white metal after polishing. I know some guys say it needs to be done. But I've got a BRM I did 8 years ago the same way and it still looks good. Making progress, there, Paul! Looks good. Are you just gluing or are you soldering? Just CA Patrick |

Paul, is there a specific reason that two bolts (one per side) are not installed or is that just me not seeing things clearly? On the valve covers? Now I know I need to drill out those! And how did you so clearly achieve the crisp FORD on both sides?
You are an inspiration for sure. I might get some time on Monday if I get everything done on Sunday!

Oh young padawan, study the instructions you must. For they are the key to assembly.  As for the logos.....paint the valve covers, then carefully sand on the letters and the FORD will be revealed. |

Nice progress as usual. Your p/e part is probably hanging out with the original mirror face I made for my Grand Sport and some other parts thru history  |
