  1. put this in the wrong section, any way to move it to under glass ?
  2. Just finished up these Motorcraft racecars. These are the only three cars I could find Motorcraft decals for, does anyone know of some for 04-06 GT ? The decals are from Indycals.
  3. some of the differences are passenger seat is non-adjustable, carpet only cover bottom of floors, inside of rockers that carpet normally covers is covered in vinyl, the front of hood above the little vents beside the headlights isn't rolled under like later hoods. it sticks down about 3/8" of so. I'm sure there are other little details i've forgotten. Also most cars won't have all the 64.5 details, the later in production as they ran out of parts, 65 parts were used.
  4. Love it !! I remember going to the drag strip in Greer, SC and seeing a very similar Pinto wagon with a SBF and a Lenco.
  5. Welcome Ace, a Ford guy and likes drag racing ! Glad to have a like-minded member.
  6. I'd see how hard it is to pull one of the plug wires out of the head before I made that decision. There might be enough room to re-position the wires over the valve covers and hide the excess under the air cleaner. Any time I am doing something new, I Google pictures to see how it was from the factory.
  7. usually on a SBF, the spark plug wires run over the valve covers
  8. Createx Wicked Colors Flair Silver Spectrum
  9. For the magnesium finish I started with Tamiya XF-24 and added a little silver, a little gold, a little green, until it looked right to me. If you look at vintage photos of magnesium parts, there are many shades. I was going after a Dow #7 look.
  10. Yeah, these cars changed constantly to keep up with the competition, you kinda have to pick a time and base your model on that period.
  11. I used the body from the AMT 67 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT kit, the chassis from the Polar Lights Hawaiian funny car and the 427 SOHC from Texas 3D Customs
  12. I added a Gofer 427 Ford, Speed City Resin wheels, slicks and seats. Painted Tamiya TS-20. Now I am going to build a matching 67 F350 ramptruch to haul it.
  13. The quarter windows on 69-70 fastbacks don't roll down,but they do flip out.
  14. I am looking for a 1960s style steering wheel for a 57 Ford gasser. I've looked at some of the photo etch wheels and they all use a rubber o-ring for the rim, but i want to do the rim in green metalflake, anybody have an idea on a kit that might have one ?
  15. Wes's Model Car Corner is good to mail order from, they also have a retail store in Blountville, TN. Very good to deal with
  16. Thanks for the kind words guys, I should have cleaned some of the fingerprints off before pictures.
  17. built box stock, painted stripes except rocker stripes are decals.
  18. snuggles in there pretty nice in a 1:1, Sonic Blue also.
