Model T - engine mounted


otterine

We've reached page two of the instructions! :D  The frame has been attached to the fenders and the engine glued in place.  This is all extremely fiddly after removing the stabilizing sprue connectors from the fender/chassis part. I was (am) concerned about the van sitting level on a surface, but maybe this setup will act like the original and make it conform to any surface?  Fingers crossed.  As a fix, I can always pack some serious ballast into the rear cabin.

As feared, I ended up getting super glue on the black fender paint even though I was trying to be so careful.  It's in a not-so-obvious spot and should be covered when the hood is in place so it's not the worst that could have happened.  I polished it as best I could.

I think this contraption is meant to have working steering once I'm done.  Considering the delicate nature of plastic parts, if I end up with a solid model with good suspension, I'll consider myself successful.  Anything beyond that will be gravy.  It's looking good so far, though.
