Yeah.....you're going to have to post some more pictures of this one than just that. Man this is too much. Can't get enough of these good builds that you're throwin' out there. Friggin' total eye candy.

You seem to be a very busy man in the modeling world Dave. You really know how to turn out a good lookin' car model...that's for dang sure!!

Good ol SOHC in there! Nicely detailed and painted. Sharp car!!

You got any more pictures of this beauty? The one that you do have up there looks great!!

That thing looks fantastic!!! Very well built, painted and detailed. Man......WOW!!

Very Impressive!!

I can feel your pain Kevin. Hang in there with it bro. It aint about the mistakes......it's all about the recoveries!!

Keep 'er comin' Francis. This is gonna be one real head turner when it's all said and done!!

I've given thought to building this car several times. When I was a kid the Saints version of this car had just come out. Looks like I may have to pull the trigger after seeing this fine build posted. Great work here Dave.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!

Good details and perfect look! Lotsa gassers being posted up right now. I love it.

This looks great!! Paint came out really good Dave!

That paint job on that car turned out fantastic Steve! That engine looks really good too! Where'd you source the blower belt from?

He speaks the truth. Hands down best looking Dominators out there.

Futureattaction offers these in a super detailed version but they are currently out of stock. Should hopefully have some more in fairly soon. http://futurattraction.com/8.html

No worries guys. Interesting conversation going on while I'm working on my next update. Hopefully I can start slingin' some paint soon.

Sorry Rich. I've just got the paint in the mail a few days ago and should start the painting process on mine soon so we'll see how close of a match it is.

I did a little research on this color for my Maverick and came up with Tamiya TS-86 Pure Red. Here's the link Rich. Tell me what you think: https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=tamiya+pure+red&fr=yfp-t&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbhc.com.au%2Fassets%2Ffull%2F75-T85086.jpg#id=4&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbhc.com.au%2Fassets%2Ffull%2F75-T85086.jpg&action=click

That right there is one very nice build Steve. Along with a lot of others who have responded on here it's sad to hear that such a good builder like yourself is leaving the hobby. With that being said, I am a believer in never saying "never". One can never tell when life's road will lead them right back to a certain point. I left the hobby in my early twenties, figuring that I'd long outgrown it only to return after recovering from alcoholism two decades later to use it as a calming device and to keep my mind busy. I hope that whatever you do that you have a great time, kick back, take life in and enjoy it all.

I couldn't have said that ANY better.

I like that!!!! Is that the Revell Thunderbolt Fairlane chassis JC?

You know....I should've noticed that about the fuel tank but somehow I didn't. lol. The only thing I know to do in an instance like that would be to cut both fuel tanks out and graph the Maverick fuel cell onto the Mustang chassis. Man...that....would be ALOT of work but it depends on just how accurate a builder wants to be. For me, mods that intense would also be accompanied by fuel lines, brake lines and all. Don't get me wrong I've been known to tackle such mods in the aircraft modeling world where historical accuracy seems to be paid a little more attention to. I will say that this is good information though. Thanks for bringing that to light Kurt.

Progress looks good. You did about as well with that OOB instrument panel as a person could Kevin. Looks great !

Here's a photo shot of mine after shortening the front subframe approximately 5/16" and cutting about 1/8" off of the rear of the chassis behind the fuel tank like John Pol was talking about. You've gotta shorten the chassis up front so it'll fit under the body nicely and to put the front wheels in the center of the front wheel opening.
