mustang1989

Yeah.......I'll be following this one with great interest. All the work you're putting into this is really going to make this build shine well.

Thanks Steve. I really appreciate the kind words. I'm really looking forward to the finish line and am fighting back getting in a hurry with it. Thanks Carl. I just couldn't resist. lol Thank you for the comments and the suggestion on the alternator Bob. I'm not one for the mystical floating alternator effect either. I couldn't really do anything bottom side but I did manage to install an adjuster bracket (even though it's not a true factory part) on the top of the alternator to the water pump when I built it.

Well…here we are so far gang. Got the lenses, bezels, fuel cap and license plate installed. I will go into more detail on the rear bumper in the next post but I made some much needed changes to it. My plans are to strip the chrome off of the bumper and re-apply in lieu of the mods. Here’s the latest…

This should be alot of fun to watch. BTW....great subject. My grandfather had one of these old Cutlass' and he was going to gift it to me but my dad stopped him. Probably a good move because that old car was no slouch and I was an idiot teenage driver at the time.

Looking forward to it very much good buddy Dann.

Glad you got the corrected body Dennis. I just received mine last week and it's all that AND a whole bag of party mix. Shoutout to Mike for the help and to you, Dennis, for bringing the updated body and caster to light. Looking forward to more.........

I hear ya. I started a 1980 Malibu kit a couple of years ago but the more I looked at the resin cast body the more terrible it looked. Just an awful casting. I'd really like to snag a Perry's resin 1979 or 80 model Malibu kit as his is the ultimate best but don't even know if he's still doing anything. Looking forward to seeing your corrections and continued progress.

Thank you Mike! 'Preciate that Trevor. For some reason this time it just flowed really smooth!! Thank you good buddy Carl!! Thanks for taggin' along JR!! Great to have you in here!! Thanks Ian!! Thank you for the comments Dave!! Dan!!! Long time no talk pal!! Awww dangit man!!! That weekend I'll be up attending my nephew's college graduation. When's the HAMMS show?? Gotta try and make one dude!!

This morning I finally got the PE grille and the fog light system put into place. Have to touch up the fog light chrome but will wait until I’ve got everything on the car so I don’t risk messing the touch ups up with excessive handling.

This should be fun to watch come together.

Great start on this Bob!! I've got 3 of those 66 Nova Pro Street kits and they work GREAT under just about any car for pro street conversions. One day....I hope to actually build one of those Pro Street Nova kits instead of constantly parting them out.?

Bring it man......?

Very nice work on the bottom of that car Mike. Little bits all keep adding up man.

Picked up a couple of things from Joel a few months back and was VERY pleased. You da man Joel.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner on this Ron. Going to use Bahama Blue Metallic looks like.

Thanks alot buddy Carl! Great to have you on board Mike. Gonna have to check out your latest project. Thanks Craig. Your Mustang turned out tops. Love the color you chose on that one. Thanks Roger. It's been pretty crazy alright but am getting through it all one step at a time.

This really turned out well Craig. Enjoyed watching it all come together.

I know exactly what you're talking about in regards to the wheel/ tire fit. I sanded the heck out of the wheel backs as well as the back of the chrome wheel to get the fit right. Your finished car does look really good Craig. Love the color you chose. I actually called AMT about the box art versus the finished build stance. My car had the stance shown on the box art and I had to do some fancy foot work to get the stance on my model to look like that. Going over now to see your car here in the Under Glass section.........................

Just saw this. You ask a very good question here as I actually did have the '70 Charger "in stock" for a little bit. I'm decently certain that the 1970 chassis is the same as the other two Monty. Will check into this more in detail man.

Well.................I had some time yesterday and the humidity was low so I spent a little over an hour prepping and applying the gloss coat onto this puppy. Here she is after the clear shoot. No polishing or anything just yet and this is the turnout. To say that I'm very well pleased with this would simply be an understatement.

This was definitely a fun build to watch come together Gareth. Nice additions throughout like the open trunk, scratchbuilt trunk flooring, vent window open and the open headlight doors. Terrific work.

Very nicely done Gareth. It's not often that a Charger build is seen with the headlamp door open. Great job on this whole build man.

Any more progress on this one Patrick?

Very cleanly done Pete.
