Could you clarify Si?.
You ask if there's a coil (singular), which suggests you are looking for an ignition coil in the kit, which there isn`t.

yeah i meant ign coil, at least i now know i aint going blind looking for em sunshine, but i do need a matching pair of em for mine.

how long have you guys been spending on em ? im lucky if i can grab 10 mins a day to get something done..

[pauline als diner]

have not had much to do for not at home so took the kit with me spent about 3 hours last night doing it and about 3 today.

you can scratchbuild a coil easy. de-flash and cut a sectin of sprue about 3in long. stretch the sprue over a candle flame, just enought to pull it apart. Cut a section from it, about 2mm for the top of the coil. Add a small 3mm length of plastic tube for the coil body (earbud tubes). Drill the stretched piece for the king lead and paint the whole unit red.

i aint even finished painting me engine block yet!!!!!!! lol

I`m having a devil of a job getting my throttle linkage to work!.
Not looking forward to wiring the radio either...

Just as a matter of opinion, what do you think the rear axle in the Revell kit is supposed to be? The carrier is a bit 9" Ford-ish, but the round rear seems more Olds, or something?

Have to agree it does look Olds/Pontiac inspired, though probably just a generic representation of a rearend Andy...

nice detailing there and colour co-ordination.

Anybody else out there want to put some "in progress" pics up or are you all keeping them under wraps until the end ? I,ll try and get some of mine on later.

Blimey, I'd better get a move on!

Strange Mark, a coat of primer and some inside-chassis headers and that could be mistaken for this one: http://www.nsra.org.uk/newforum/show...?t=9066&page=3
