Engine:

Color mock-up.

Nice rod Stuart. See what I did there?

Nice builds Peter.

Appears to be a slot car body - don't know the manufacturer.

I've seen a resin casting of this body - yea not my cup of tea either.

'70 Ford Mustang

and the Mustang sister cars.

Charlie Kemp Mustang Cobra II

Beemax did a Touring Car version of the Cruze. Leave the decals off and you have a mean street burner.

Huge improvement on the tires Art.

It truly is an art car, nice work on the touchups.

Dekon Monza project:

Bill is a member here but not very active. I would try him through his Fotki contact. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/profile/18045-bill-stillwagon/

I don't want to risk the work I already have in the body by potentially butchering the gills. The grille, front valance, rear tail-lights and wing should set this apart from the base kit Cuda.

Turned out great Michel.

Thanks Dann. I cut the mufflers free from the exhaust which allowed me to: Install and align the exhaust tips before paint Install the rear valance before paint

Super impressive work Tim.

Welcome back Tony.

Cool truck but don't want to even ask how much it costs.

What might have been had Ford kept with it original sports car design for the T-bird.

It might be easier to start with the MPC Plymouth Duster or Dodge Dart body.

Anxious to see whats in the pipe line Dave.

Here are is my tool box for dealing with body lines and imperfections. From left-to-right: Panel scriber - don't remember the brand mechanical pencil with a straight needle in place of lead photo-etch saw blades #11 exacto blade use the back edge razor saw - great for straightening panel lines as Bill describes above various shaped mini files photo-etch scribing blade - great for opening panels flex-i-file sanding stick And a trick I picked up from Bill Coulter for scribing trim lines - a piece of brass flat stock notched to the desires width of the trim.

Some nice detail there Art.
