This is all VERY impressive and all from an AMT kit at that. Just beautiful work and great attention to detail Don. WOW!!!

Now THIS is looking pretty dang spiffy so far Donald and I'll be following. I thought all Mustang engine compartment dimensions and basic layouts were the same from 64-70.

last build for 2023/first for 2024 - Amt 66 Fairlane 427

Your interior detailing in regard to the door panels looks really good and it looks like you've pulled off a good looking white paint job Eran. -
Alright fellas, I managed to get the body painted a few weeks ago and BMF applied..... and just this past Friday, managed to get the body glossed. I still have to wet sand polish everything out but this is where that part is as of now... Then I turned my attention to the wheels and tires.....man......the wheels and tires To address the wheel and tire issues there's some work that has to be done. This is what the assembly looks like with no modifications using the chrome rallye wheels. OOB assembly on the left and modified parts on the right, The wheel backs don't play nice either and cause the wheel and tire to stick outside of the wheel opening a good 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. This is how much has to be taken off of the wheel backs AND the wheel to make everything look right. Unmodified parts on the left and the corrected ones on the right. Corrected assemblies now ready for tread scuffing, BF Goodrich Radial T/A lettering decals and wheel painting and detailing.....

Looking forward to this Tom. Following......

Man that turned out VERY well Dave! Sorry to hear about the hood and all and the same thing happened to me on my Revell Charger build. .....hood just wouldn't level out no matter what I did. You managed to pull off one heckuva good looking build despite that fact though. Excellent paint and detail work bud.

Thanks Roger!! Great to see you man. So far so good with my wife. It'll be 8 years since the aneurysm this upcoming February. Hard to believe that it's been that long already. 'Preciate it Bob! Thank you Dave and thanks for tagging along buddy.

Thank you good buddy Carl! 'Preciate it Jeremy!! LOL!! One day I hope to be half decent at it. Thanks `bud. Thank you Trevor. Good to have you along. Thanks Steve. Actually, I need to revisit a few of YOUR builds as I've got some catching up to do around here. lol Thanks for the "good word" Greg! LOL!! Thanks Monty. Later on I found out that what you're referencing was the spare tire carrier. I can't imagine having to get a spare tire out of that thing.

This is definitely a good looking Jo-Han build Lee. Coming together beautifully pal.

Good LORD man!! I've been waiting for this moment for several years now Steve. I really don't know where to start or know what to say that isn't a carbon copy of everything that these folks have mentioned on this car. A TRUE labor of love this is and one that you should be proud of brother. WOW I say.....frickin' WOW!!!!
-
It's been a minute since I've perused through the WIP section at any length and what do I see when I do......THIS beauty. I've been waitin' me a long time to see this one cross the finish line and buddy.....you sure did THAT with this one. I simply cannot say enough good things about this build Steve. It's been a long time comin' but you finished this one up with honors bud.

You can count me in too John. -
Alright.....it's been way too long since my last update so I'll just catch you all up to where I'm at right now with this one...... As with all detailed builds....a guy has to know when to call it and this is where I'm calling it. There are a couple more things that I could add but how far does a guy go? In any case....this part is completed. I'm now moving on to the car body so I can get this puppy wrapped up this month.

Any more on this one Steven? -
Picking this one back up Pat. Beautiful color choice man. I've used the Molotow Chrome pens before and have had mixed results with them but it looks like you did a really good job using yours.
