Your welcome Kurt. I saw the Bob Ford Mustang, "The Quiet One". Dyno Don took it over after 1969 and raced it in A-Modified Production. I won't be recreating that one because it ran with twin carbs and I bought injectors for mine. If you want to see all of the pics I took, like the chassis shots, here is my Fotki link. https://public.fotki.com/Urban-Poet/65-afx-mustang-research/ I'm using the Revell 66 Mustang GT kit. I'll only have to change the dash gauges, and the grille for the 65 look. I'll be using both the body and chassis but with alterations of course. Since the 65 wheelbase wasn't as radically altered as the 66 "funny cars" I think I can alter the fenderwells without much trouble. At least that's the plan. The trick will be trying to recreate that funky single spring front suspension.

Great work Kurt. Thanks for sharing so much of your work. I know what you mean about learning about the AFX cars. I'm assembling parts to build one of the original 65 models that had the stock chassis. I'm a Chevy guy with a newfound fondness for the old Fords. I bought the book "Ford Drag Racing in the 60's" and learned a lot. I also visited a local Ford museum that had one, and the guy let me roll around under the cars and take pics. It was too cool!

I'm deleting a comment I made because I see that it was covered.

Ditto. Vans don't really do it for me, it'd have to include utes, etc. For me anyway.

Awesome Stang!

Very nice!!

Nice work!!

Lots of stuff there to challenge contestants as far as build parameters, and lots of variety as far as car type. I'd be okay with it, especially since I won't make the finish this year.

Good to see it back on the bench!

I had an order out since June and got it filled about 2 weeks ago after escalating it thru Paypal. He said he was having email server prob, but I'm leery. Got a gift card for a free bottle of paint but I'm not even sure I'll use it. However, my first order earlier in the year came back very quickly, and one guy on FB said that he's never had a prob. Dunno what the deal is, but I don't think I'll use him again. Can't stand the drama.

Awesome stuff!!

Very nice build! I've got to work on weathering!

Very nice build!!

Fantastic fab work!!!

I know the feeling!

Sorry to hear about the mishap. Otherwise, nice going!

Well done Jan.

Excellent tutorial Bill, thanks for sharing it!

Nice!!

Great project! Well done!

Nice!

Well done! Showroom ready!

Thanks James.

Any Cleveland area model clubs still meeting? I know there was one in the Turney area but don't know if they're still active. I'm retiring next month and now should have time to attend meetings and such. Thanks.

First time I'm seeing this. Nice project!
