  1. That's the same one I'm trying to do Rex. You have a great start on it. You should finish it off. From what I've read this one had the Boss 429 engine. I'm guessing it also had battery in trunk like the other Boss 9's...
  2. I did exactly this tonight. Using a panel line scriber and some dymo tape on trunk lid I was able to get clean cuts and the tail panel fit cleanly against the GT500 body. I'll use the rear bumper from the GT500. The tail lights I'll separate from the 70 Boss 9 and section the rear panel so it fits back area. They are going to be slightly oversized but I'm hoping they aren't too noticeable. I also started filling in the hood scoops on the GT500 hood. This part will take some time! I'll try and get some photos of what I'm doing and post over to the On the Workbench.
  3. Was getting ready to start a conversion to build a '70 Ford Mustang Quarter Horse and was curious if anyone else has attempted this? I know I need the dash from a Mercury Cougar and the front clip from the '70 Shelby GT500 and the back end from the '70 Boss or Mach 1 kits. Probably going to use the Monogram kits since they are pretty common. I'm not sure if I should take the front clip and graft it to the Boss body or the rear tail piece from the Boss and graft it to the back end of the GT500. Linky to what I'm trying to create. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2011/06/29/the-quarter-horse-fords-stillborn-bitsa-mustang/
  4. Great job on all the rescues guys. Really inspiring work. Makes me want to do one myself but I still need to master my own builds before I rescue someone else's. LOL
  5. Outstanding builds.
  6. Great job on a really difficult kit Mark. Looks just like a '67 Goat to me. You turned a sows ear into a silk purse.
  7. Certainly looks like you could. Good luck on that paint job though!
  8. Wow! You nailed the stance and your interior is one of the cleanest I've seen. Stellar job sir!
  9. That's not the one I was looking for but is definitely good to know. I see many sheets on here that I could use.
  10. I know about Keith Marks and his excellent decal line but a couple months ago I stumbled on another person making aftermarket decals for Mustangs and other muscle car types but can't seem to locate them again. Anyone aware of some good quality decals for early Mach 1's, Boss's and Cobra's?
  11. Sweet! Love that color on the Boss.
  12. Really nice builds. What did you use for the non skid surface on the trailer?
  13. Stellar build! Color combo is perfect. Well done.
  14. Stunning build. I think it looks better than the model on the box top.
  15. Cool! Thanks Bill. Beautiful car. Well done sir.
  16. DMCL! Love it. Surprised nobody has posted a Burn Notice Charger yet.
  17. Wow! Stunning build. Is this Monogram's Cuda Street Machine in 1/24?
  18. Wow! Amazing build and that paint job is incredible. Still has that 'wet' look to it. Bravo!
  19. Way cool Roger. Best of luck on this new build.
  20. Roger, The only thing on the hood are the hold down hooks and the chrome "Jeepster" badges right behind them. No marker lights. And the Safari Wagons come with no tops at all. Looks like this one was purchased so link will probably go dead soon. I may have an extra bush grill. Bumper may only have one. I'll check and see what I have.
  21. Super nice Jeepster build. I have two of the old MPC Jeepster Safari Wagons that I'm trying to restore and both body's have the side marker lights that you speak of. There is one on ebay right now and you can barely make out the side markers in the pics. Here is a link to this kit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-25-Jeepster-Safari-Wagon/274087913790?hash=item3fd0e9a93e:g:LzcAAOSwn0Bdq2Hd
  22. Awesome build. I had a buddy in high school with one of these and it had the same stance. Can't beat a 1st gen Mustang and Cragars.
  23. Nice! Love this color.
  24. A very popular tire with the muscle car folks has always been the BF Goodrich Radial T/A. Would love to find these in 1/12.
