Heres one of my projects I'm doing, a 55 Ford Crown Vic. This was my first try at using mcw paints. They polish out very nice! The engine has the correct 55 oil bath air cleaner, and is wired in the right firing order (I know alot of you think thats a waste of time but the way i look at it .......its just as easy to put the wires in the right hole as it is the wrong one!). I fabricated a parking brake assembly, fuel lines, and brake lines on the chassis. The tie rods and power steering system are from the 58 edsel kit. Thanks for looking, Raisin      |

Thanks for looking, Raisin Looking good raisin!!!! That's gonna be a nice 55 Crown Victoria. Nice engine detail!! I also wire my distributors in the right firing order, I do it mainly because I think it's easier to get the right natural look when routing the wires to the plug holes. I don't like the look of the pre-wired distributors on the market, except maybe for the Arrowhead Aluminum ones, the ones with all wires stuck in one big hole in the middle just doesn't do it for me. Therefore I either drill the nine holes in the kit supplied distributor caps or I use pre-drilled resin caps from Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland, wich I highly recommend by the way. Forcefan |

Thanks Force.......I feel the same way about the distributers. This one is from arrowhead, and i have also used the pre drilled from replicas and miniatures. Thanx again, Raisin Looking good raisin!!!! That's gonna be a nice 55 Crown Victoria. Nice engine detail!!
