Hi all here is tonights episode.
I drilled out the distributor so I could put the HT leads in.

then I made the HT leads out of thin solder wire.

Then I cut them to length and squished the ends to make the tabs to connect them to the spark plugs.

Then I noticed from the ref photos I have that there are rivets and badges on the starter motor and solinoid so I added them.

still loads of detail to add to the engine bay, got an idea for making the jubilie clips for the radiator hoses and I am going to attempt to make the fuel pump and assossiated pipes as they are only vaugley moulded into the firewall.

Beautiful work so far in a challenging medium. This reminds me of the old Hubley all-metal die-cast kits.

The Monogram metal and plastic kits were all much better than the Hubley kits.
Monogram also released the same kits in all plastic versions.

That's some mighty fine detailing on the engine. I really like that opalescent turquoise color too. It has an almost hypnotic effect on me...

Well I think I'm calling the garage finished. I could add more detail but I think it would detract from the packard.
