Wow! That clarifies things. So now I think the pipe is closed at the end. Pressurized air runs from the supercharger housing to the inlet manifold.
Thanks again for your photos and interest.

Dan:
Aren’t you glad Kyle DeHart joined us? “The Kid” seems to have a book collection of a large library! And he is a throwback that likes old Indy cars…
Gratefully,
Tim

Yes, I agree. Closed piping to get the charged air into the manifold. Dan: Aren’t you glad Kyle DeHart joined us? “The Kid” seems to have a book collection of a large library! And he is a throwback that likes old Indy cars… Gratefully, Tim Tim, you're too kind. Still building the library, but I have some handy ones. Glad I could help here. Well said, Tim. I am grateful to Kyle, and you, and all the others in our group who add expertise and encouragement. Dan I couldn't agree more Dan. A great bunch of knowledgeable and helpful folks. |

Painted, more things can be done. Front shock in place, adjusted to miss axle.   No glue assembly to check  And it’ll sit level!  |

For steering arms, I used wire with one end flattened.    And a tie rod from plastic rod  Drag link and steering arm from wire and thin tubing.  When painted, I’ll show more views. Next will be rear axle, springs and shocks then the interior and engine base plate. Still undecided about adding pedals. |

I expected to make more rapid progress but became involved with this program, in a Quality Control position. I take my responsibilities seriously.   |

Front steering details.  Rear suspension. The axle is glued into a slot in the body, so the springs are not load bearing.  |

Lovely work. And those cookies look like they needed some careful quality control. 🤣

This is coming to life and the cookies are a very nice distraction. Did you bake enough for every one on this forum? Looking forward to this to be decaled up. Great work on this one.

Following a weekend of more cookie production and social stuff we’re back at. Some small but fussy steps. Interior coming together.  Control levers  And in place:   And the whole ensemble  |

Exhaust mounted. The main pipe was blended into the manifold. Also notice the tank caps. The rings were PE included in the kit.  Taking the long view. . .  Preparing the hood straps. Wine bottle metal- I seem to be inundated with the stuff. . . .  |

Just some little things to do then done!
But busy times, guests, last minute stuff will likely keep me out of the shop for a while.
So,
Merry Christmas to all!
