  1. Dude this is crazy cool. Can't get over all the fabrication and the details. The details man.
  2. Wow!!!! That's pretty dang cool right there.
  3. Yeppers.....I'll be in on this one. Been a while since I've sat in on a build of yours but I've got a front seat now.
  4. Good lookin' car. I'm right there with Rusty....looking forward to seein' this one completed.
  5. Thanks Bob and Dave!! Managed to test fit the interior in place and get the dash adhered to the interior tub in just the right position. Before I went any further I did one more stance check to make sure that it was where I wanted it.........and .....although I might raise it in the front juuuuuuuuuuuuust a tad.....it is where I want it in regards to rake.
  6. This is a cool project for sure!!! Watching......
  7. Looking good on this one so far Charlie. Divorces can get pretty tough and sorry you're going through one. Hang in there bro.
  8. Love the Thrush decal on the sides of the car and those headliner decals make it a hit as well. Great work so far Michael.
  9. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about in regards to the factory seats. Great for cruising around town but for the long trips.............not at all. I drove my 89 from Corpus to Colorado .......twice with the factory seats. Frickin' brutal man. I'm really liking what you're doing in the interior and all these mods are definitely gonna pay off when it's all said and done.
  10. Such a good build to follow. Looks 1:1.
  11. Wow! Thanks for the great comments Monty. Really appreciate that bud. No problem at all bro. Let me know if you have any trouble with that stuff Mike.
  12. Man alive this thing is looking good JR!!! Wow!!!
  13. Just realized that this one's not on my "watch" list. Got that taken care of now. Looking forward to the next update.
  14. Coming along nicely Ken!
  15. Fan blades.........perhaps a 1/72 scale 3 blade aircraft prop with the blade lengths cut down and the edges rounded some to fit the hole and to look like the fan in the pic? Good thinkin' on the mods btw.
  16. Keep 'er comin' Steven. I know that there's more on the way from you but I almost hate to see this one come to a close as I look forward to every update.
  17. Nice catch on that bumper. Small details like that add up over the course of the build. Continuing to watch this beauty come together Steve.
  18. I've got the same fit issues with my '67 Mustang Fastback kit Declan and I'm prepping my parts pretty much how you're doing here. The molds on these kits are VERY old and this is what tends to happen. I did have a spare kit in the stash and the fit on that one was even worse. Carl's got the right idea which I'll do to mine as well once I get the initial fitting & prep finished up. Looks like you're sorting the issues out with yours.
  19. Not your best finish?? Wow!! Now THAT.....looks great!!!
  20. I do use it straight from the bottle Mike. There are some that absolutely cannot work with it and therefore don't like it but I've found that shooting it at around 30psi and staying fairly close to the work with the AB produces the smoothest result. The further from the work the airbrush is and / or the lower the pressure (25 psi or less) produces a grainy/ fuzzy look. I use alcohol for AB clean up and make sure to shoot some water through it after cleaning.
  21. This is gonna be fun to watch. Love the Chevy mil in there btw......just sayin'
  22. I've seen that with the window frame before and I can only imagine that it's pretty frustrating to say the least. Hang with 'er Pat. She's lookin' good so far.
  23. Every now and then people in business will take the time to listen to a consumer and make necessary changes. I spoke with Eric Oberhofer at Round 2 at the beginning of September in regards to the AMT 67 Mustang Fastback issues. One of the issues involved the tires that came in the kit which were Firestone Super Sports tires instead of the Firestone Wide O Oval tires that were on the box top. He had mentioned that he was going to bring this issue up in the next board meeting. Meanwhile I had received a set of Wide O Oval decals from a friend of mine on the forums. After removing the Super Sports logos from the sides of the tires and had applied those, however, they looked too big and I was left scratching my head at what I was going to do next. I decided to go down to Hobby Lobby and purchase another kit and use the Super Sports tires...........BUT............when I opened the box of the newly purchased kit I found..........a set of Wide O Oval tires now in the box!!!!!! A BIG shout out goes to Eric and the Round 2 team involved in making this change. Before the change this is what came in the box.... and this is now what comes in the box. Here mounted on my newly painted & detailed wheels. Just gotta spin the tires up on a socket in my drill to give that tire tread a worn look.
  24. Your wiring harnesses look "all that" Steven. Something I've incorporated into my own builds and it makes such a big difference under the hood. This car looks totally Bad "A" so far man.
  25. I like these cars already and seeing one Pro Streeted is just over the top. Awesome work so far on this beautiful looking beast.
