That looks great Mustang. I’m going to try to duplicate that later tonight.

Joe now that you have the washer bottle in place are you going to run the hose to the nozzles ?
Hi Mustang1989, I’d like to get in on this build with a 67 Malco Gasser, hope it’s not too late.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Gordy!
I’ve already got ideas on the hose there Dan! (the hole is already drilled in the washer reservoir for the hose!) lol lol …I thought you’d never ask. lol!!!
Ken: Jump right on in here buddy! Welcome aboard!
Thanks for all the encouragement here
Was able to get a little time on the bench tonight. Built the ladder on the passenger side and started adding the gussets on the trailer.
Lookin’ good so far Dan! How many hours do you think you have tied up so far in this build? Looks to be ALOT!!
With the polite advice of a couple of good folks I decided to revamp the overall master cylinder/brake booster appearance. Still need to work on the weathering and minor details but here’s the latest:
Update: What the hell. I had a couple of extra minutes so I painted the retainer and made the reservoir look more like an iron color than a bright silver by weathering just a tad.
Joe that looks 100% better with the added colors.
Joe I have not been counting but so far maybe 200 hours building and and about 100 hours researching over the last couple years.
Oh that is such a cool car, I’ve always wanted to build that kit. Glad you joined, looking forward to those updates.
Mustang - I assumed you were going to paint it still but it looks even better now. And the hose going into the bottle? I don’t know what to say to that-I’m looking forward to seeing it. lol

Got up before church today and finished up the gussets on the trailer and installed the tail lights on the mud flaps. Going to work on the other ladder.
I was able to slip out to the shop for a couple of hours today.
I primed the right side of the 51 to see if it’s flat. It is close, but it needs a little more sanding. I block sanded the other side that cracked and then added the putty. I also got started on the interior. The color is the same on the interior, just photo had the flash go off hehehe.
I also primed and painted the engine for the 66 Impala.
The paint is stripped off the 37 Ford, so I also got it cleaned up and ready to start working on again.
I have to go to Nashville tomorrow, but hopefully can get some more bench time also. 
L8TR,
Eric
Tail lights and gussets look great Dan! Keep 'em coming bud!
Eric: Man that 51 looks great so far. I have a weakness in body work but am slowly getting better at it. Hope you get some more bench time. It’s the one thing I always want and never can seem to get enough of! lol
Managed to get the brake lines formed this morning. These will terminate into the frame rail as there is NO detail on the bottom of this car , i.e. brake rotors/ calipers or anything of the like to route the lines to. I’ll do the best with what I have (model and wallet that is! lol).
Thanks Mustang. Those Brake lines are nifty. I think it would be neat to do one with complete brake lines and fuel lines from the tank. Maybe some day lol.

Hi, my name is Seabe and I have a problem… I allegedly build model cars, but my buddies on the GB are putting me to shame.
Sorry, had to bring a bit of humour into a dire situation, it’s the only way I survive! Great going guys! Some awesome progress here.
My covers are basically done. After many alternative attempts, I was forced to go back to what I hated - drybrushing. I never get good results with it, but the funky new tricks I thought may help me out, all backfired. Which, in the end led to drybrushing on even lowered (due to another effort which involved sanding…) edges… Oh well, will see shortly (hopefully tomorrow) if they even fit onto the engine block.
Keep going! This is an awesome active auto GB - love it.
Hey Mustang, what gauge (or source) are the wires you are using? I think I need to tear a telephone apart for some thin harder wires. I have 2 sizes of wire, one too big, one seems too small -just curious what you were using.
The 66 master is a single bowl? I dunno what they are called but it doesn’t look quite like yours. It must have only been front or rear power brakes. I’ll do my best with it anyway.
Looking good Eric. What colour is that interior? I like that leather look. Don’t spread yourself too thin with too many projects. I learned I can’t be doing multiple projects, you seem to be doing alright with it but I’m way too disorganized to try that again. lol I’d end up binding a 350 to a zero or worse. Actually, hmmm. lol
Nice progress Mopar, that mustang in your other thread is nice too. You should share all your trucks, I saw them on the shelf in your pics
I didn’t upload any pics so nothing to share again from me. I’ll get caught up soon.
Gordy
Thanks Gordy,
The interior is Model Master Acrylic Leather. I think it will go good with the Tangerine. The dash will also be tangerine.
The 66 did have a single chamber master cylinder since they had 4 wheel drum brakes.
I like to have at least 2 going at a time so when I get bored or have wait for something to dry I can work on something else.
L8TR,
Eric
Eric your build is moving along nice. Like your interor color.
Thanks Joe your brake lines came out good.
Gordy thanks I’ll get some group pictures of my trucks soon. I would like to take credit for the Mustang but Freakshow12 build that one.
Gordy. You asked here are the trucks you saw in the back ground. dodge Big Horn and Frightliner with a tri axel gravel hauler.
Heres my other car transporters
The flames on the LoneStar are painted with a template and was my first time to do flames.
And a the rest of my trucks
