![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/2/4/1/510241-12023-22-720.jpg)
That allowed me to finally glue the right side battery compartment and fuel tank into position

scratch building fuel pump from one of the models hose clamps
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/1/9/8/515198-12023-19-720.jpg)
added some brass rod to hold the fuel lines
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/1/9/7/515197-12023-36-720.jpg)
Added a platform for the fuel pump
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/1/9/9/515199-12023-51-720.jpg)
Did a little surgery on the coolant pipes and hoses. Will add hose clamps from model motor cars

Changed the hoses to a thinner walled hose from Model Motor Cars along with the clamps. Better fit and look.
![Album image #49 Album image #49](/albums/img/6/2/3/518623-12023-51-720.jpg)
Next step is to finish the piping and touch up the paint
![Album image #50 Album image #50](/albums/img/6/2/4/518624-12023-55-720.jpg)
![Album image #51 Album image #51](/albums/img/0/3/8/519038-12023-43-720.jpg)
Motor Essentially complete. Coolant pipes, hoses and clamps finished
![Album image #52 Album image #52](/albums/img/0/3/9/519039-12023-39-720.jpg)
Will have to do some surgery on the radiator housing to get the pipes to fit and look right.
![Album image #53 Album image #53](/albums/img/0/4/0/519040-12023-13-720.jpg)
![Album image #54 Album image #54](/albums/img/0/4/1/519041-12023-74-720.jpg)
![Album image #55 Album image #55](/albums/img/0/4/2/519042-12023-65-720.jpg)
Spark plugs, distributor and fuel pump came out well. Have to add the fuel line to the engine from the tanks
![Album image #56 Album image #56](/albums/img/0/4/3/519043-12023-56-720.jpg)
![Album image #57 Album image #57](/albums/img/3/5/7/537357-12023-27-720.jpg)
Finished one set of tracks. This is the test-fit. Suspension works. Now to paint and weather the tracks and start on the next set.
![Album image #58 Album image #58](/albums/img/3/5/8/537358-12023-55-720.jpg)
Just a glimpse of what it is shaping up to look like. Test fit tracks, engine radiator housing, hood, drivers seat and dash assembly.
![Album image #59 Album image #59](/albums/img/3/5/9/537359-12023-59-720.jpg)
Right front oblique view. That one set of tracks represents about 60 hours filing and fitting. 42 track links with 42 tread caps.

Album info
I accidentally deleted the 22 pictures I had so I am reloading them. I started this build in the Nov/Dec timeframe last year. From Jan 14, I had been working on Steps 1, 2, and 3 in th instructions. Since then, I have worked on the engine, transmission, radiator housing, front panel. I have primed much of the model, Mr. Surfacer 1200 rattle can. and have started painting the interior and major subassemblies. I had initially used Vallejo Dunkel Gelb, but decided to overpaint that with Desert Yellow, which is more tan.
