Its possible the pickup ran, but under the policy below. I think we need to make it clear not to include pickups. My 2 cents anyway. "A car failing the above technical specification at Scrutineering will be transferred to a separate Class which will not be included in the general classification or the results. The crew and the car will only be eligible for a finisher’s award."

Testors Mid-4. It's a curbside.

Glad to hear you're okay, sorry to hear it keeps happening. Hang in there.

Great looking project!!

Awesome build!! I love the paint!!

Very nice collection!

US Army E-4 1975 - 1979 76Y Supply Specialist, Co. A Lightning Bde. USAARMC, Ft. Knox Ky. When it came time to go to Korea, CO kept me there for all 3 years! Dunno how he pulled that off.

Yes, very nice! Great detail!

Hey Pete, if this is still open I'm #39. Thanks much! If I'm in I'll PM my address.

Still loving this thing! Awesome!!

I used the Viper IRS on my 70 Camaro, and parts of it on my Benz SSK.

If you haven't had enough to read on the subject, this is a nice blog that shows the prep, and more importantly the issues they encountered during the race. It's a 1960 Morgan convertible. http://peking2paris2016.no/blog/

Thanks indeed!

I was originally going to go with a 49 Ford, but I opted to use a kit I already have. That said, while I was researching it I found this about one entered in the '09 P2P. It's got some good info for you guys with older builds. https://www.hemmings.com/magazine/hcc/2009/04/Shoebox-Journey---1950-Ford/1794559.html#PhotoSwipe1538760499040 On mine I got a little done. While trying to mock it up I noticed that there was interference with the tire and the piece supporting the front suspension. I realized that AMT had molded in a column to support the upper A-frame that could be trimmed. After trimming it, the oversized tire fitted well within the fender. I also found and modified a larger rear axle, as the stock one looked so small I didn't believe it would hold up in any kind of endurance event. Bigger axle housing = bigger bearings & bigger axle shafts.

Thanks Brian, but I'm going to go with a Sunbeam Tiger as my build. They've got a pretty good rally heritage, and the small v8 should supply sufficient power. The kit is not the greatest, but with all of the mods I can make it should be fun. 39 will be my number.

I have to give it up too. Life issues came up and I stretched myself too thin. Sorry.

Ugh, you beat me to it Brian!!

Great choice Ashley!

Hey Kurt. I don't know if this will help, or help confuse but when I was taking pics of the 65 AFX, I took some pics of the Batman car sitting next to it because I was considering using FI on mine. It shows some good engine compartment stuff.

Very nice!

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!
