  1. Great looking build! I have one of these IMSA Mustang kits in line to start building some day in the near future... other than the old decals, did you have any other challenges when building this kit?
  2. I am looking to trade for the following front suspension pieces, radiator and firewall pieces from the 1/25 AMT/Round2 1967 Ford Mustang kit. These same pieces can be found inside the '67 Shelby GT350 kit and/or multiple reissues of each of these kits. Lower front suspension Piece #20 Front wheel spindles Pieces #21 & 22 Tie rod Piece #23 Radiator Piece #49 Firewall Piece #45 These pieces can be fresh-from-the-tree or from a built-up if in good, restoreable condition. I am not interested in a complete kit; just these parts. I have a fairly extensive parts box to trade from; I am located in Illinois. Thanks!
  3. ...and the tinted glass that was so dark you could hardly see thru it!
  4. Mike, I'm sorry. When I read your post title, I overlooked the word Daytona and thought you were looking for a Charger kit. For that reason, I thought your request was too vague, and I responded in what I thought would be a helpful way. I was wrong for posting what I did. I'm publicly offering you my apology here Mark
  5. Excellent build! I'm just starting this kit and have been doing a bit of 1:1 research. The kit's instruction book says to paint the engine block a metal color but I've also seen 1:1 pics showing a large variety of different engine block colors. Was curious if anyone has any info about 1:1 engine block colors for Land Rovers of this era? In some of my research, it almost looks like the factory painted the engine block in the same paint color used on the body... is that a possibility?
  6. 1/16 scale? 1/24 scale? 1/25 scale? 1/43 scale? 1966? 1967? 1968? 1969? 1970? 1971? 1972? 1973? 1974? 2005? 2006? 2018? 2021? I'm not trying to be a "smart-a__" here, but your description doesn't really "say it all". Please provide as many details as you can whenever making a Wanted post... I don't think it's possible to provide too much information about what you are seeking... and pictures are extremely helpful, too! Thanks
  7. Everything looks terrific on this build, but I especially applaud your spark plug wiring... it looks so 1:1 and I will be referring back to your engine pic every time I start wiring an engine for one of my own builds!
  8. Really like the new box art, but one thing that looks a bit "off" in the illustration to me is how close that front bumper is to the body and grill... the 1/1's front bumper extends forward quite a bit farther than it appears in this nicely done artwork.
  9. Nice build... especially when accomplished in 24 hours! I started thinking about where I would start if I were to attempt a build in 24 hours, and I can't answer my own question! Did you start with painting major components, like the body, interior tub, chassis? Then, while those are drying start on the engine and wheels? Anyone who's done a 24 hour build, help me understand your method!
  10. Stunning work here! Your modifications, detail, paint and weathering work are all exceptionally good. I have always wondered what motivated the truckers of the day to nickname these "Crackerboxes"... curious if it was just the way these cabovers felt like after logging a few hundred miles in one or if there's more to that nickname.
  11. Two outstanding builds! I often rate how much I like a build based on a question I ask myself, "How much would I like to have that model as a 1:1 parked inside my garage?" About 3-6 times a year, I see a build where the question's answer would be a resounding, "Yes!" I gotta say "Yes!" to that little White beauty you've posted here!
