mustang1989

I saw one of those Capri kits over the weekend and wondered if this Mustang kit was a one shot wonder or not. Looks like..............not. lol

Thanks Roberto for the comments. I do have two 90 models in the stash but don't think the front ends will swap out. I'll have to look again. I'm looking at doing this same thing with a 90 model LX though.

What up Tom?? Great to see you over here man. Strap in dude! It's gonna be a ride!!!

My 13 year old son was at our house all day with his Aunt yesterday and didn't want to get on his phone, tablet or Xbox like he usually does sooooooooooo...............he went into the hobby room and grabbed the Raptor kit that I bought him at the end of June and went to work. Evidently he worked on it trying to turn out the best build he could. When I got home last night he met me out in the drive way and led me into the hobby room to proudly show off his creation to me. I guess he's really gotten into the last couple of builds that I've been working on and wanted to follow suit. He was so happy with the results that I couldn't help but to clean it up just a smidgen more, take some glamour shots and put it on his computer as wallpaper and build a screen saver for him and to post it here for him. Hope you guys enjoy it. This is what he started with: I must say that I've been pleasantly surprised with the level of detail in the "Max" kits. Lotsa goodies in there for a Snap Tite kit. Here she is: and a shot of the interior. Again not bad for a snap kit:

If I ever build mine in the stash, it's gonna look like this. Man that looks Bad A with those Draglites and those "meats" back there.

Good lookin' build on this tough kit. I've heard a lot of horror stories about it but it looks like you whipped 'er into shape.

Love the engine swap you did. Truck looks great Al.

I like it!!! I agree with Dave as well about the black and white photos as it's a nice touch. Those acetylene and oxygen bottles rolling around in that truck bed with those gauges on and no caps would be a fun ride if they were knocked off. lol Good lookin build Simon.

Looks good from what I can see Lanny! Must.......see......more.......pics.............. I love these trucks and am looking forward to building this one.

LOL. This is the one I was thinking about. I only saw this one a handful of times but remember it like it was yesterday. lol Man those were some sharp cars!!!!

I was working on these in a Pontiac dealership in Carrolton, Tx when these were brand new. That was the first year for the LS motor too and I remember distinctly feeling that butterflies in the stomach feeling you get when you're driving a decently fast car. I couldn't ever remember a factory car from earlier years doing that and it was a big difference over the LT-1's from the previous years. Not taking anything away from the LT's as they had their day in the limelight but those LS's were(and still are) da bomb!!! Looking forward to your take on this one Jeremy. P.S. I do remember that commercial. I think that's the one where it ate the competition and spit it out of the tailpipe wasn't it? lololol

Looking good so far Jeremy. Looking forward to more.....................

Thanks for the comments and information fellas. Hakan: Looks like I'm going to be looking for a dual sump pan. Thanks for the heads up bud.

These panel wagons are a complete blast turning into party wagons. Nuthin' but room back there. lol

Nice work and the color is way cool. Whatcha got in the back?

'Preciate the comments Jeremy and John. Didn't like the oil pan at all and have placed one that I do like on order. Should be here by the end of the week. Hopefully this build'll go a little quicker than my last one.

Thanks a lot fellas. I really appreciate the very kind comments. Man thanks for asking Carl. Overall she's doing well. She has her good and bad days. The doctor recently took her off of her seizure medicine so she's really really tired these days. All of this has resulted in a lot of changes around the house but we're just taking it day at a time and thankful that she's alive and well. Again thank you so much for asking.

Can't go wrong with a Willy's. Nice paint

Good Lord man!!! This thing is waaaaay off tha charts. Spectacular modeling right there!!!!

I agree with the others on the color usage. As for the demarcation lines between the fiberglass front and rear clips and the rear light bar color.............consider it a learning curve. Overall good looking build bud.

Gee.....................where else have I seen this beauty?? Awesome work Dale.

Good lookin' build Jeremy. Very cool gift and as others have said..............he's sure to like it.

Very cool looking dirt track car bud. Love the details and decaling.

Man these are beautiful cars!! Very good work on all of these Andy!!!

I'm finding that I have a whole lot of fun with the "built ups". You get a before and after effect that's not possible with a kit right out of the box. I'm sure you're gonna do this one a lot of justice Steven.
