I learned long ago to buy two sets of decals, no matter who makes them this batch seemed thick and brittle but I’ve had them a long time, maybe age has something to do with it. Wayne and John, your builds look great. Keeps me from giving up on this one.

Thanks to everyone, your ideas are greatly appreciated!

I’m on my second sheet of decals and after about 6 sessions with microsol, several q tips and an exacto blade, and the hair drier, I’m close. The hair drier idea is genius. I can’t get photos to load, but I have a little patch work or touch up to do. I’m hoping the clear coat will help also.

Amazing builds on here, lots of inspiration!

Solvent then blow dryer?

I’m trying to build the Trojan Horse Mustang Funny car, not the Mustang II, but the early 70s Black Mustang that the Slixx decals are made for. I’m on my second set of decals and I cannot get the hood decal to conform to the hood shape. I’ve tried Microsol Decal Set but it’s not helping. Any suggestions?

Hers one I did a few years back, I starter with what I call the monogram chassis introduced in 1984. I swapped the two independent axles for a set up that matched the Geordie Bonin car at the time. This was similar to the set used on the Alcohol funny car I crewed on. It was solidly mounted no suspension on the front

Don’t Stop!

I love it!

Very nice

Looks pretty amazing to me. Thanks for sharing

Very cool!

More?

Very nice, I sometimes think we over think the process, and complicate our builds. We end up with several started but unfinished projects setting in boxes. The simplicity of the early AMT kits isn’t appreciated. You’ve captured the time period very well, great build.

Thanks, older build from 1993, rear spoiler popped off, have to glue it back on.
