Don't tell me the stacks are brake-line flares. I've been throwing them away all this time.

Actually-I made good use of the top end of a Muscle Machines engine. Used the stacks and carbs-plus I sectioned down the blower to make the top of the engine block. You could use the flare ends as well for the stacks.
Just a note-the fan that you see on the front side of the engine is an old Norelco electric shaver head-

Ok another update-got paint on the chassis and suspension, sprayed the body and interior. Did an old school copper gas tank. Wheels are painted-need to finish the interior, get hubcaps on the rear wheels-install electronics, lots more little details to go-top, etc...

Thanks much for the input and feedback. Paint is red auto primer from a rattle can. Real simple. I have to thank the 1:1 volksrodder and rat rod guys for making flat finishes "cool"-takes a lot of pressure off trying to do a gloss finish-

Awsome"thumbsup"

Thank you!
