'70 Grande

My license plate making source only has a 1985-version of a British Columbia plate... a test version shown here. If that'll work for you, let me know what custom text/lettering you want on the plate and I'll see about getting one or more if needed to you.

For British Columbia?... just wanted to confirm.

I have an article in an old issue of "Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords" magazine somewhere in my library with a 1:1 '70 Boss 302 Maverick built to replicate what a factory offering would have looked like... that article inspired me to get a JoHan Mav and the Boss 302 from the AMT/Errl '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator kit to build my own 1/25 version. I'll dig a bit deeper in my library to see if I can find the article and post some pics from it.

Prototypes that never made it into production: Boss 302 Maverick and Boss 429 Maverick

Really nice save and rebuild! Proudly displays all the glamour of early/mid-1960's American cars... glamour being a word that describes almost no autos in this day and age! I'm curious what paint color that Green is; to my eyes it goes really well with the Black.

Rob, With that little collection ya' got there, we're gonna send your name and address to the product development team at Round-2... looks like you have a dozen or so "subjects that need to be cloned" and they could tap into your inventory for kits to clone from... that won't be a problem for ya', will it? LOL

Beautiful build of a piece of drag racing history! Did that roof piece come in the kit or did you source it elsewhere?

Stunning... simply stunning!

Despite the issues it gave you, the finished build looks great! I have this same kit with all major sub-assemblies finished and ready to all get put together with a body that's painted quite well for me. Dry-fit everything and I can see that I'll have the same type of issues you dealt with regarding the frame not wanting to mate completely with the body. So I decided to postpone the frustration-game and back into the box it went! Your build might inspire me to pull it outta the box and get it finished. Hopefully mine will turn out as well as your's did!

You have a gift for making videos! The production quality is outstanding! Good luck in your search for more footage... sadly I can't help you but wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the quality of your work and your mission here!

Lei, Yes, please bring it to the August meeting. I have a 289 that I'll bring to trade... thanks!

Lei, The '53 would be my first choice. Thanks

PM sent to you

I am looking to trade for all the stock Flathead V8 engine pieces from the AMT 1/25 1949 Mercury kit, (any release/reissue of this kit). They can be fresh from the tree or from a built-up if in good restoreable condition, (not interested in a complete kit). I have a fairly deep parts box to trade from. I am in Illinois.

I've often wondered how those drivers back then wrestled one of these race cars with manual shifting, steering and brakes for a couple of 100-miles around a shoddy dirt track and lived to do it again a week or two later! This build is awesome, especially with the added details like the straps holding the doors shut... well done Model Guy!
