That 65 could not have ended up with a better builder. Thanks Andy.

I am going to my very first toy and collectible show in 2 weeks and I've been told its loaded with models and promo cars. im hoping to find a few things on my list. Ebay occasionally delivers a gem. 2 hours ago, Straightliner59 said: Wow! A virgin is a rare find, indeed. Nice! The roof did have a hairline crack part of the way (not mentioned by the seller!) but that is already repaired and it is missing tail lights.

Lordmodelbuilder Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Coming along quite nicely. Been working on my 66 a little. Got one rear wheel opening almost back to stock. Gotta do the other. Also need to get a mustang kit for the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Thanks Brad. I hope you post your project. Unfortunately most of these kits had the wheel wells modified by the original builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
