  1. I still have the blue '32 as well. I am sure it will need a few parts also.
  2. This is what many would call a true survivor. With the two piece tires, I believe it is an original issue. It is also a community build. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it took a forum to build a car. I traded for it from Modlbldr. It was in pieces...and missing pieces. Thanks to him, thatz4u TruckerAl, and ewetwo for donating the needed parts. The ob layed down a gold basecoat followed by transparent red to create a true candy apple red. All I did was lightly polish it after thoroughly cleaning all the parts. I added wash to the grill, the engine came from the parts box.
  3. Un-be-liev-a-ble !! You have vision, and combined it with flawless execution to create a drop dead gorgeous car that will be the envy of any show you bring it to.
  4. No problem, I can do that later today or tomorrow.
  5. That is awesome looking. Definitely following this one.
  6. That is beautiful. I butchered one as a kid. I just recently picked up a rebuilder and hope to do a better job this time around.
  7. Beautiful build. As someone who is a fan of Mustangs, I see a few old friends in your lineup. Having owned a 95 convertible I can tell there is something off about the model, but a beautiful build non the less. We have owned an 83, 85 convertible, 95 convertible, and currently a 97, also have a 66 project that I am seriously considering putting the 5spd, and 8.8 disc brake posi in out of the 97.
  8. Here is my in-laws Sunliner. Running an early 70's 351c/C6.Taken in Oct of 2005. Funny how things have changed. The whole family is in the pics. Two oldest boys are now married and mom-in-law is no longer with us. Car is waiting for me to install its new distributor. If you need any detail pics, pm me.
  9. Here is one of mine. I am going with a pre-runner style since so much is missing. I already started on the hood. It had the blower hole cut out and I had an extra scoop.
  10. Keep the roof Roger, it's a classic. I will be following because I have a 62 sunliner kit that I plan on using that same chassis under.
  11. Thanks for the bump. Turned out great. Really like the paint and stance on this one.
  12. Had a great trade with 440 Dakota. Thanks again Ron.
  13. I like this a lot ! Great idea on that front lower ramp, makes it more realistic.
  14. Ricky, did you tell her she can have the decals and box back? ?
  15. Almost forgot to thank Oldmopars for another great trade. Highly recommended.
  16. Looking good Ray. ?
  17. I also have used techniques from model building on the 1:1 as well. My favorite was the instrument housing on a 63 Fairlane. I thought I had pics of the actual cluster but this is the best I could find. Let's just say that it is a little difficult to source parts for a 62-3 Fairlane. We were rebuilding this 63 for a customer and the housing for the instrument panel was in really bad shape. Originally chrome, it was dull on the places it had not worn through to the plastic underneath. I told my boss I had an idea... I disassembled it, dunked the housing into everyone's favorite paint stripper, primed it with tamiya ,wet sanded with 600, and painted it with tamiya silver leaf. I also cleaned the instrument faces with a cotton swab soaked with novus #1, and polished the clear plastic panel that goes between the housing and gauge panel with novus products as well. In the picture (which does not do it justice) , the panel to the right is factory aluminum with chrome trim. It really looks good and blends well.
  18. After a flurry of trading with fellow members, this is what has been added to my stash.
  19. Right back at both of you, as well as scott8950, and randyc
  20. That Super Bee is oh so gorgeous. ?
  21. Watching this one, that's for sure. I have this kit in my '59 collection and am wondering how to build it.
  22. Love that color, and still amazed at how well detailed and accurate that 312 is. You sure are making it "pop"
