Looks like a good start to me! I like the black wheels. Are those MicroNitro pieces? Also, what tires are you using on them? They really fill up the rear of the Mustang nicely.

actually i got them from E-slotcar.com and i took slot car wheels and put them inside the revel prostck t-bird tires. these are the wheels

i have to do another set for the nova so when i do those ill show a step by step of what i did for the other tires

It's great that you are learning new things, doing modifications, chassis swaps, roll cages and the like, but lets not forget the basics. Clean model building.

Like this seam for instance.

I know it's to late now for these builds. But a couple of tips on styrene plastic sizes in scale, the.062 is approximately 1-1/2" in size and the .080 is equivalent to 1-3/4". But a real easy way to judge sizes is the metric sizes are also on the packaging, and 1mm works out to about 1" if you keep that in the back of the old memory bank it's a lot easier when looking for a particular size in material for your builds. Oh yeah, pretty good builds.
