the bike i found recently while digging around in some boxes. i started working on it around 4 years ago, just one of those little diecast and plastic Harley's from Wallyworld. i wish i had one of those Harley's from the Revell F-150 kit to build. Dave

here is the mostly finished engine for tonight. i made some fenderwell style headers with some 60's box collectors. i was torn on a nice carb set-up until i found the ones in the '60 Ford kit. they fit perfect and look awesome on top of the supercharger. the interior looks pretty good and the guage insert turned out a bit better than i thought it would. anyone want to guess on what the hood scoop started as?

It's coming together nicely, Dave! I like the color too. I'll bet that hood scoop is an aircraft canopy.... just don't ask me what plane! ;D

the scoop is a fake nail! a really cool guy from Lebanon over on the Scale Auto site is the one that posted the idea, i just took it and ran! i needed a scoop for this project that kinda went with the lines of the car. just so happened the "thumb" nail was a perfect fit! lot's of possibilities here with these things!

Thumb(nail)s up, Dave! Nice interior. And those headers are very neat.
