Well .....in seeing Mikes example above and given the fact that I've built one of these somewhere around 15 years ago and I remembered that the stance was a nose high look.......I decided to do a mock up to check everythign out and it was just what I expected.....it has a nose high look to it. I have a spare AMT GT-350 in the stash so I cut the necessary sprues from the trees and mocked everything up just to check. Man.....there's gonna need to be some fancy footwork to straighten this out if I'm going to get this thing to look like 1.) the box top (which is severely misleading if a builder thinks that this kit will build up just like the picture) and 2.) look like I want it to look personally. On a couple of other notes..... 1.) If you've never built one of these, pay attention to the attachment wheel retainers (that I have marked "R" for rear and "F" for front. They are different sizes meaning the rear retainer has a larger hole for the axle then the front does for the spindle. 2.) The box top shows Firestone Wide Oval Tires and the kit has these Super Sports instead. Not a game changer but hey.....put what's ON the box IN the box. C'mon!!! Same goes for the stance. Just sayin'. The OOB stance:

HOLY SCHMOKES!!! Man that is COOL!!!! Love it!!!

Thanks Bob!!

I'm a fan of 429 Boss engines and am definitely a fan of any Mustang. Awesome build and love the paint!!!

Very cleanly built car.

Dude!! I like everything about that build. Awesome!!!!

Oh wow!! That is indeed a good looking car/ build. Hats off to you on that one.

Good lookin' build and good colors!!

Shuweeet!! Cool car, cool paint job ..hell.....cool everything!!!

I think that's the first time I've ever seen the car let alone a model built of it. Gotta say....that is a well built and painted model of a car rarely seen.

Awww man.....now that is cool!!! I'm waiting for the Chevy II station wagon/ Chevy II drag car combo to come back out.

Now that's a cool little build. Nicely done Dave!!

Great looking car and good color!!!

Great color and awesome look!!

Now wouldja just loogathat! How cool is this??!! A Charger with a slant six in it........AWESOME!! This right here is hardly ever seen in the modeling world. Great work on a one of a kind car Gareth!

Haven't seen you around in a while here. Hope to see you back soon Kev.

Just about any Charger build is gonna catch my eye and then you go and throw the General Lee into the mix and it gets a little better. Very well done Jason.

I really REALLY don't even know where to start in congratulating you on a job well done Marcin. It's been a truly great experience following you through these build ups and spectacular paintings. You sir....are to be commended for these efforts.

Gotcha!! Glad you got that sorted out. NOW ...I took the time to read that Tom helped you out. lol

Sweeeet!!! Awesome weathering!!!

Maybe......Is this the AMT kit?

Heck yeah!!! I'd be happy with that result as well!!

That does indeed help those springs out some. I've done the same thing in the past but started winding my own springs out of wire wound around the threads of an automotive trim panel retaining screw.

Lookin' good John! I got a chance to see a 54 Skyliner at Dicks classic car museum in San Marcos before it closed down. Never even knew they existed before that and thought it was a very interesting vehicle. The fact that it had a glass panel in the hood made it even more interesting.

I'm always down for an E body build.
