  1. Nice & clean build!
  2. Hello Everyone , I have been on a much needed vacation & now back on the bench when I have the time to work on the Shelby which now I have started the mock up of how the exhaust will run from the headers and then cross flow the pipes into a x then out to the sides in front of the rear wheels. So as soon as I have it completely mocked up which I'm shooting for by the end of the weekend I will post up pictures.
  3. Tim, This build is simply Amazing & the Craftsmanship is just over the Top !!
  4. Hello Everyone, I have finished redoing the shock tower supports ( 3rd Time) & started work on the exhaust system which I just noticed that I will have to install 02 sensors & catalytic converters since the engine is a computer controlled 5.4 with a super charger which all I have to do is use the catalytic converters from the donor Shelby kit that the engine came from & I have something that will replicate the 02 sensors. So now its figuring out where I will incorporate the cats in the exhaust system and the 02 sensors.
  5. Happy Birthday America ! God Bless America The Home of The Free !
  6. I was not happy with the way the shock tower support looks so I will be redoing the support for the third time.
  7. Awesome scratch building on the Mustang Body !
  8. Hello Everyone ! I have now finished scratch building the new intake system to the super charger but I still have to add a few details to it & I have also finished scratch building the cool air intake but the air filter still needs to be detailed and I also have scratch built a new shock tower support to accommodate the super charged 5.0 which I ended building the cool air intake and shock tower support twice since they just did not look correct to scale at the first attempt. Thanks For Looking !
  9. Thank you Kevin ! Will try & get some updated pictures up this weekend since I have been scratch building a lot of the parts on this build. Where in St Louis are you ? Im a native to the Show Me State & will be visiting in July to see family & catch a Cardinal game.
  10. Different and very Cool !
  11. Small update on the Shelby, I have finished scratch building the throttle body, cool air intake tube & the intake that mounts up to the super charger & I have also scratch built the shock tower supports also and all the parts have been painted. I hope to post up pictures as soon as I get them taken since I have been a little what distracted on doing some body work on two other builds which one of them is the 51 pontiac station wagon. Thanks for following the progress !
  12. Hello Everyone, i have been very busy with work & other things that come up in life which all have been good things so now I'm getting back to this build. I have now started on the mock up of the engine install so I can get all the components built for the engine & get them in place before painting them & detailing them. Then I will know exactly where every component will be permanently installed. I will have pictures up as I go but as you all know this process is slow at times for me since my building time is limited at times so bear with me. Thank you all that have been following this build !
  13. Smith Brothers Hobby in the San Fernando Valley they have good selection of plastic kits.
  14. Very nicely executed build !
  15. Working on getting the chassie done then its back on the Shelby to get her done.
  16. It would be awesome if one of the major model companies would do a series of cars buy some of the car builders like Troy Trapanier or Rick Dore, Steve Strope etc.
  17. You mean Best Model Car Parts and Michael also has the gauge sets & license plates and yes they are nice pieces.
