  1. Hey Jason - Good deal! I've actually got a Monroe I haven't had a chance to mess with yet. I appreciate you taking the time to look at the site and look forward to helping you with your project needs!
  2. Here's one of my latest projects I completed. You can see more pics in the Projects section on my website: http://www.mustangmikes.com/projects2.htm This was built using several of my resin parts and the Firefighter II kit. It's fun to find time to be able to build once in a while Enjoy! --Mustang Mike
  3. Hi Aaron, The parts list page is a work in progress as the rest of the site in general. What I'm wanting to do is for customers to be able to hover over the part number and have a thumbnail of the part appear. Of course you'll be able to click on the part to view it completely. We're adding new parts, updates and pics everyday so you'll have to check back every once in a while. If there's something specific you'd like to see just email me: michael@mustangmikes.com. Most everything is viewable now in the store. The Mustang II's, 74 - 78 were Lee Iacocca's baby. Shelby had absolutely nothing to do with these models and the "Cobra" name being added to them was sort of a scandal between Ford and Shelby. The only Cobra's that you'll see on the hoods are on the King Cobra's. The regular Cobra II's had a fairly good size decal on the front qtr. panels and badging in the grill, side louvres, and interior door panels. These cars were not really built with performance in mind, but still ended up being one of Ford's all time best selling vehicles. >>Jump in any time Coyote - lol<< A good resource for the II's are mustangII.net and mustangII.org. I go there a lot for inspiration and research for the parts. A lot of this stuff I just know from memory. My very first car was a 77' Ghia coupe with a 302 and my next was of course a 78' Cobra II fastback/hatchback with a 302. There wasn't a part on either car I didn't either have to replace or troubleshoot, but I loved them just the same. Hope this helps and thanks for the feedback! --Mike
  4. Hey Rick - I saw that this a.m. Thank you so much!! Check your email though because your shipping was overcharged - glitch #1 ; ) My best friend is actually building the site for me so we'll get that fixed this a.m. and hopefully get some more pics of the parts up there too.
  5. Hey Jon - glad to be here! Thank You for your kind words. I can't wait to see what you end up building with all those parts!
  6. Thanks! Man I didn't catch that - lol. I took the pics right after I finished the body. I have a vinyl cutter that I used to cut the VERY fine pinstripes for this particular project. I was going to let it go with just the decals but this car was screaming for the pinstripe. Here's another shot....
  7. A Pinto Wagon may be outside of my expertise ; ) , but it would be way cool. My next venture I think will be a Maverick ~ maybe in the next year or so?
  8. Hello all! A member here I've been dealing with for awhile suggested I join this forum and tell you all about the resin products I have for the Mustang II Coupe & Ghia, Cobra and King Cobra fans out there (like me!). I started casting my own parts and started this whole project about 3 yrs. ago after much frustration with the stock kits and unavailability of custom parts. Since that time I've made over 30 different parts, wheels and scale vinyl printed decals just for the Mustang II kits. Most of the parts were based off of the re-release of the AMT/Ertl 77' Mustang II Street Custom, but I've used most all of the parts and decals on the MPC Firefighter Mustang II with some pretty minor alterations. I'm posting a pic of one of my finished projects on here and you can view more on my website: www.mustangmikes.com. There may be something for everyone here and the site is new and a work in progress. I've really enjoyed reading this forum and am looking forward to being a contributing member! Kind Regards, --"Mustang" Mike
