Amazing paint job, silver has always been a difficult color for me to get a smooth finish. All three look beautiful.

Very nice detail work!

Thanks everyone!! The color is Testors Fiery Orange. Originally it was going to be for a '68 el Camino, but i thought it would be a great color for the Cobra.

David: It is a plastic kit by AMT/ERTL first released in1990.

This is my version of the AMT/ERTL 1/16th scale 427 Cobra. I'm not a big fan of all of the chrome on Cobras so i went with a more race ready utilitarian look. The car is painted with Testors One Coat lacquer and no clear coat. Upgrades to the model include Pro Tech racing harness for drivers side, Pro Tech distributor and wiring, rod ends and throttle linkage and Top Studio A&N fittings. Pro Tech braided lines are also used for the fuel lines and the throttle cable. The instruments are decals covered with Model Master gloss clear acrylic and the bezels are chromed using a Molotow chrome pen. The doors use the latch from the kit with a straight pin head to keep the door closed. Even with all the mistakes I made the model turned out ok and it was nice working on a larger scale for a change.

Very impressive job!! Love the el camino, and you did a great job on the mill. Hayden Flour Mill brings back lots of memories, i lived in Mesa from 1967-1989. Glad to see it is still standing and not torn down.

Beautiful model, very well done!

Very cool idea, but medication adjustment may be necessary if this trend continues!

Fantastic job, that is one beautiful Mustang!

Looks like a nice clean build.

Very cool model, that would be an awesome barn find!

I think it was the setting solution, I used Micro-Sol and I think I got it past the decal and it discolored the paint. Never knew it would do that, live and learn i guess.

What is the best, safest way to remove decal glue spots from a body painted with acrylic paint? I tried soap and water but that didn't work.

Beautiful model of a great car!

Great looking build of a great looking car!

Looks fantastic Chris! I'm sure you are glad to have it finished, seven years is serious dedication!

Very sharp model, great job!

Very nice work, it is looking great.

Beautiful truck, engine and paint look fantastic! Great job!

AMX has always been one of my favorite cars from the muscle car era. Don't see to many of them around anymore, good job on yours!

Oh that poor El Camino! It is in need of some TLC! Great job on the weathering, looks very authentic.

Hoping to be there next Saturday!

Great stance, nice clean build!

Beautiful truck, looks like you could jump in and fire it up!

Very nice work on both cars, great job of replicating your ride!
