Nice work though.

Chrysler engines always leaked oil, especially the Hemi Sixes. The slant of the motor actually made it worse. (they were slanted because the motor was too tall for the profile that chrysler wanted)

model slant looks good. rest of the model looking good too.

You are slowly getting there with it, popcorn

finally making some progress on this one, finished the cargo tray (think it may extend into the cab a few mills more than it should) and made a mold of it so i can knock out a few more if i need them.
