Geno

I think it turned out pretty darn nice. I commend you for making a silk purse out of a sows ear. Well done.

Sam, already on hand LOL.

After putting this on the back burner due to numerous other projects I'm finally getting back to this. I hope to finish it by spring LOL.

Ahhhh, that's going to be one sweet Tin Indian.

Thank you all for the kind words, this was a fun and very satisfying build. My Mother-in-law absolutely loves it.

Hi Richard, it is resin and was actually pretty easy to work with.

Hi Pat, yes, I made those for the bed as my father-in-law was a beekeeper right up until his passing. He had been one for over 60 years.

Built this to replicate my Father-in-laws who passed away 3 years ago. It's for my Mother-in-law. It started out as the top pic and now is the bottom one.

You're welcome. I love those old Chevelles. I'm working on a '66 now.

Wow, that turned out great. Very commendable work.

Wow, an exceptional transformation. Job well done.

Looks good to me. Love dem Tin Indians.

That's cool Michelle.

It looks fine Terry. I think the Monogram '64 GTO is the best kit version of all. It builds out super nice. JMHO though.

Yes they did, not to take away from the fact this is one sweet build though. Officially, Ford never stuffed its Boss 429 V-8 between the fenders of a Mercury Cougar, but that’s not to say that none were built in this configuration. In fact, two cars destined for the drag strip ran the feared engine, and one of them will appear at this year’s Ford Carlisle. As the Super Stock ranks featured more and more factory support in the late 1960s, Ford, looking for a competitive edge against Chrysler, commissioned skunk works builder Kar Kraft to build two 1969 Boss 429 Mercury Cougars and then sold them to drag racers “Dyno Don” Nicholson and “Fast Eddie” Schartman for the princely sum of $1 each.

Looks great, I want to do one of these as the truck Stallone drove in The Expendables.

Love dem Mopars. It looks great.

That's cool Michele. keep 'em coming.

Wow, I've just been stung...and it felt good LOL. Fantastic build Thiago.

That's looking killer. Wow!!!!!

Kevin, they are the Pegasus chrome reverse, dechromed and painted semi- gloss black. I drilled the centers out of two for the ones mounted on the rear.

Now that's cool.

Thanks guys. You all rock.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. To answer the question lol, the kit is a Monogram 1/24 kit, the color is Rustoleum Real Orange Gloss which is almost dead nuts on for the real color. As far as red tail stripes, check with Firebird designs, they do excellent decals and they are high quality. I have another Bee kit that I'm converting to a Coronet R/T. He made me a beautiful set of white R/T stripes. He also custom made the Copperhead decals for the Falcon Gasser I just completed. Tell Jeff, Gene sent ya.
