Engine done, I will leave any weathering until final fit. Let me know if I have anything wrong with it please. Pantherman

Looks really good. The only issues I see are the valve covers should be silver and the bottom radiator hose should be black. But that's just my opinion.
You do you

Thanks, easily rectified. What color are you doing the underside of the chassis? Instructions say white but I'm inclined to go black / grey maybe with the pipes in black? Pantherman

I am doing the chassis in black with silver pipes.

A little more progress made today.

I'll be painting my chassis black too.
I might start work tonight, but I'm pretty tired. I might begin tomorrow.

This is a fairly straightforward build. I think it is going to go quickly.

I'll be painting my block a redish orange, like these pics.

I like it.

While watching the old show I noticed the interior of the car is tan. I don't have tan paint so I will try and mix 10 drops of Vallejo Buff and 1 drop of Vallejo Field Drab and see what I get. I will let you know if this works. If not, it looks like a trip to Hobby Lobby.

My Hobby Lobby caries a decent amount of Vallejo. I picked up a few the other day.
Yes, the car does have a tan interior.

I started on the engine block today. But I'm not feeling that well today, I don't know if I'll get back to it tonight.

Sorry you're not feeling well. Get better.
