Thank you, Jimmy! The Mondello Fiat is somewhere down the road once I work up the courage.

Yes, generally true - by 1965 all SBFs had the valve cover mounted PCV and oil filler, as well as the alternator and six bolt bellhousing, in addition a whole bunch of other small changes. I realize this is "angels dancing on the head of a pin" type stuff (especially in 1/25 scale) but kinda fascinating otherwise.

Things were pretty mixed up in 1964, according to Bob Mannel's book "Mustang & Ford Small Block V8 1962-1969": In 1964, "Ford decided to use road draft tubes where still allowed". In 1962-63 the PCV valves were in the intake manifold as you said, but in 1964 they had moved the PCV valve and oil filler to the valve covers (as we're more used to seeing). So I take from all this that if you see a '64 car with the oil fill in front that it's most likely a non-PCV model.

Spray booth recommendations??
RancheroSteve replied to 2zwudz's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Anybody out there tried a washable/reusable filter in their booth? I've got a Pace booth that takes 12x24 filters. -
Thanks - and I hope I'm not being too self-promoting here, but did you see the "Under Glass" version:

I may have been the guy who posted that model? In any case, I've been greatly impressed with Scott's customer service (as well as his parts) over the years - he usually keeps his website up to date as far as what's in stock, but I'm sure things can slip through. I've occasionally had to wait for items to get back in stock, but he has emailed me when I let him know that I was interested in buying an item.

Has this car ever been in kit form?
RancheroSteve replied to TarheelRick's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
In addition to the plastic kits mentioned above, there have been several resin kits in various scales over the years, and some ambitious folks have used slot car bodies as a basis.
