Just went through your entire thread. I am so impressed by your skills. Aside from the fact that there's much information here that is so useful to myself and others, I appreciate that you take the time to document, photograph and share your work. That in itself is no small task. Following your project and looking forward to seeing it complete. Thank you! |

From your photos, what you've painted looks really good (excellent really). Curious why you're not painting it all yourself. Enjoying seeing your progress. |

Beautiful build Scotty! I can't believe I haven't seen this thread yet. I keep hearing Brad talk about you and this car. I'm his friend on the other side of the bridge in Tacoma! Nice work! |

Nice! Like the dump truck! Reminds me of one I played with several decades back. _________________ Jimbo

Great job on the rebuild. Can you share where you got the repair panels for the rear body mount and shock cut out? Or if anyone else knows where to get the correct ones for Ovals.... |

Thank you for the link.
Your car is looking great. I love the color. I had a 56 agave canadian standard several years ago and really like the color! |

I believe the engine is assembled as far as it can be for install. Also went through an original jack and got some hella H4 headlights. I Will be using 6v led bulbs.

I tried that 6V H4 LED setup. It does not work! Let me know if you have better luck but will tell you a couple things I found:
1. The light output is so bad. I mean, 6V euro headlights can be a joke, but H4 LED's are literally just to fill the hole. Zero useful light output.
2. For some reason the LED H4's I found bleed Voltage between the circuits. The high/ low beams are both always on to some extent. I tried a couple different bulbs from different suppliers. They all did it. In or out of the car.
What I eventually did was remove the glass covers from those H4's and use the reflectors w/ 6V Halogen H4 bulbs. That combo actually works quite well.! _________________
