ok.....another update......

First the front springs. I made the springs with brass strips and tubing,soldered them together ,and used left over photoetch sprue for the spring bands. I still need to make shakles for the rear of the springs,but I used C channel for the front mounts.








Next up,a new trunk floor. I removed the stock trunk floor with the molded in gas tank and spare tire well. I made a new floor from styrene and halfround.


I also had to remove the "MOROSO" lettering from the valve covers. Moroso valve covers were not around yet in 1967 (at least my reference says so) so I made them plain. They will be Alclad when finished.



Let me know what ya think.

I've been trying to think of a way to make some in 1/12 scale for a project of mine, short of casting them myself......

Can't wait to see more progress.
