Engine looks great Bob. That does look like a Replica and Miniatures distributor. Noticed shift linkage on the tranny as well. Sweet.

got really bummed taking this thing out! I have NO idea what's all over everything, luckily it's the interior and firewall for the most part. tiny white specks and I have been able to clean them off with a dry q-tip. looks like white paint, it smudges a little but it comes off so I can tell it's "wet". I wish I knew what it was. Also still have one wheel to put lugs and valve stems on three wheels to go. I thought I had that all done before.

It looks like a similar product reaction on enamel paint though.

Great to see you back on the bench Bob! The '60 Ford is a very beautiful car and I really like Wagons so it's great to see one of these built. Going to look excellent when finished, keep it up!

Going to look excellent when finished, keep it up! thanks, yeah I like it a lot. I haven't had the motivation lately with work and things , but It's sitting here and I first need to get all the white stuff out of the interior etc. It comes off with a q-tip but it's going to take a lot of them lol I am afraid I am going to put it together less than what I would have when I was on a roll. I think I have lost interest in it but it's gotta get finished!

Especially when a project has sat for an extended period. That's why I have a wall-of-shame filled with abandoned projects. Once a project sits for a month untouched on my bench that's pretty much the kiss of death for it. When I try to get back to it the enthusiasm isn't there. But I've tried to get better about that (mostly because I don't have space on the wall-of-shame )
