Lots and lots done today, I have that pain between my shoulder blades from working at a bench and lathe all day.

I missed the motor hidden in engine block! That engine kit is a looker. Love the brass detail bits. Amazing! Top notch modifications! I need to stop trying to build these kits and just have you do it!

Calling a Rolls-Royce a 'Roller' almost cost me my wife's hand in marriage ! My prospective Father in Law (who owned a 1931 20/25hp) firmly re-educated me - I still bear the scars

Stirling work Phil, a presentation build like this would surely sell.
The photography is refreshing and reminds me of the old fashion steam locomotive engineering builds of high caliber seen else where on alternative forums.
As always, awesome build.
Chris,
Depends on what side of the sticks you come from..
Old money or new money,
Bentley's have a bit more swish Guv nor.

More engine and firewall work, the engine is a great kit with many many parts lots being of brass but watch for to much brass like the distributor caps and the exhaust manifolds they need painting.

The engine is finished for now, just a bit of weathering and a few more wiring details. The chassis is having its first coat of its desert camouflage. I would like to get the half shafts installed and get the wheels on but I've heard nothing from the very busy powers to be so we will just have to wait.

Looking good Phil, I had to do a second take on the engine, very convincing

Cheers Jeffrey!
The weathering process of the chassis is a whole lot easier at this stage.
