Well Gerry I am thinking about all the Ford GT's. From the first version to the latest version. I have always been a GT fan.
-
I mostly build Hot Rods and Customs but I have been pondering on building some Ford GT's. Any tips or suggestions on what kits are good would be appreciated. I know the Tamiya kit is supposed to be great, Also is there much in the way of after market parts and detail items available for them. Thanks

Molotow Chrome Marker breakdown
Jon Haigwood replied to conchan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I no longer buy the pens, I only buy the refills. I either drop some into the airbrush cup or use a small brush and apply it to the spots I want to touch up. -

candy apple red paint
Jon Haigwood replied to afxawb2's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
A true Candy Apple Red is a candy red over a gold base but over a sliver base it still looks good , Yes this is airbrush but it is a candy red over a Rustoleum (rattle can ) silver metallic base. -
Molotow Liquid Chrome
Jon Haigwood replied to 69NovaYenko's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Ditto: I normally wait weeks for it to fully dry and try not to ever touch. I have yet to find a clear that will not dull it, but I am still looking. Just airbrushed these . now to play the waiting game -

Performance parts for a Ford FE engine

After rethinking my answer I took another look and I ended going with the kit quad . -
As a follow up from the great thread "What did you learn to drive in? " I thought I would see how we all got our first ticket ? I was 17 driving a 51 Ford in 1967, It had some air in the brake system and you had to pump the brakes up to stop. I was doing 45 in a 30 and got pulled over. The Officer must have noticed my brake lights going off and on, so he asked me to push on the brake pedal while he watched. Of coarse the pedal went almost to the floor. Got a ticket for defective brakes and speeding. I was under 18 so I had to go to Juvenile Traffic Court, got lucky and only lost my license for 2 weeks. Not sure how I survived my younger years.

Great tips thanks -
Not sure if Monogram and AMT are the same but I have a Monogram 66 Mustang GT350 #2797, also have a Monogram 66 Mustang GT350H #2736. I haven't looked at them for awhile but both should be complete and unbuilt

That looks like a better way to get what I want , Thanks

I thought I might build up a stock 65 Fairlane like the one I drove when I first got married. They wifey found an AMT 65 Stocker at Walmart so I had her buy it for me. After opening it when she returned home ,I discovered it was far from stock . I may be able to remake the fender openings , not sure about the interior or the rest of it. I do see a 64 Fairlane that may work as a donor kit. Has anyone attempted to do this ? Any suggestion's on if I should try it or should I just move on?
