MonoPed

Nope, that's the older Boss 429 2 n 1 being (eventually??) built stock.

Ain't that the truth!! All we got up this way was very scattered showers from the northern-most outer bands. I kinda feel cheated

I, err, have a certain stalled project painted TS-10 French Blue over Tamiya white primer, and it looks good enough to me...

Very nice!!

Very nice!!

That is one cool looking build!!

I remember that Cobra when it was first posted on Hobby Heaven... and I still dig it!!

Now that's cool!!

very nice!!

Beautiful!! And to pull off a black paintjob like that... ya done good!!

Way cool Deuce!!

It's finally done!! WOOHOO!!! The paint gremlins just kept killing me on this one, and being is a slump didn't help. I sent a mostly painted body to Randall, and he saved my butt on this one. I'm not sure how much of my paint work is still on the car. I also rebuilt the front spindles and set the track width front and rear. The rest of the guy's did really nice work on it, and it looks great - way to go guys!!

Bill, Mine was essentially stock with the timing bumped as far as I could and still run smooth. I also hacked out the four (yes, four) cat convertors and straight piped back to a dual outlet muffler. My car saw 7,000 rpm nearly everytime I sat in it and never complained. Once, I missed the 2-3 upshift, hitting the side of the gate with my right foot burind in the go pedal - I buried the tachometer, which read to 8,000rpm. It never shook, sputtered, smoked or came apart. Once the revs got back to around 6,000, I grabbed second gear and went on. Oh, and without the cats, it could belch flames out the tail pipes at will :-)

I too had a mid 70's 'Yota, a '76 Celica GT liftback, kinda looked like a 3/4 scale 69-70 Mustang. Also had a '75½ Datsun 280Z (first of the fuel injected Z's), and an '83 Mazda RX7 (GSL trim, with 4whl discs and a 3.93:1 limited slip dif). I gotta say, those cars weren't nearly as powerful as my Mark VIII, they were loads more fun to drive, with te RX7 being the most fun... gotta love 7,000rpm shifts in a rotory powered rice rocket :-)

That is sweet!!! Love the color, and really love the stance, ya done good!

Very true!! I got to drive a couple SVOs before I became "MonoPed" and ridden in a couple afterwards, and they were the most interesting variants of the FOX body Mustang by far. Even the Turbo Coupe variants of the FOX body Thunderbirds were intersting rides. Give me a 2500lb two door, four place (small back seats a given), RWD car with a turbo 4 banger making +/- 250bhp, and I'd be happy... for awhile, at least

Simple build that looks cool - yeah, I'm diggin it!!

Nice build Bob!! Looks alot better than my XK-SS, and I took alot longer than 2 hours to build it...LOL!!

I wonder where they'll set up their "house track"... BBC America shows it Mondya night at 8:00pm est. Ch 264 on DirecTV.

What about the flatty from the monogram '40 pickup and '36 coupe? has finned heads and three deuces...

Nice work!!

That turned out really cool!! What wheels are those?

Nice work!!

I snagged those from the Revell '66 Penske Corvette kit, and fit the Fisher tires quite well.

Assembled the interior over the weekend, but forgot to add the instrument decals. Since it is a closed cockpit car, I think I'll put the tach decal in, but forget the rest since they probably won't be seen once the body is on. Still have some small parts to paint, then it's on to decals and clear on the body. It's gettin closer
