Mercuryman54

Here's one I built a few years ago. Might try to get one of those convertibles some time. Dennis

Looks great! Excellent restoration! Dennis

That's when NASCAR was great!! Excellent builds! Dennis

Can it be pinned and epoxied? Or supported from the back with a fine wire and epoxy? Just some thoughts! Dennis

OSHA ...SMOSHA!!! Great build!! Just keep your fingers back!! Dennis

Also here is a picture of my project truck I'm building. 1986 Ford F-150. Complete frame off. 460 replacing the tired 300 six. Suicide doors and a 1972 Torino GT hood scoop. Dennis

Here's a couple pics of my 1954 Mercury. Dennis

Excellent work going on here, Pat!! Keep On Truckin... Dennis

Ford used a scoop on early Super Duty trucks {Late 50's into the 60's} that I believe that Pontiac bought from Ford or the Ford vendor to use on their Super Duty cars. Same scoop!! Ford used with the opening to the back, Pontiac to the front. Dennis

Me too, and I'm getting ready to go to bed!!

A full size kit.

Thanks, it's a lot of work but fun!! Dennis

Very, Very sharp!! Looks like it aged well. Dennis

Here’s a few pictures of the car. Got a little ways to go. Dennis

Looks great!! I like what you are doing here! Dennis

All I can say is "FANTASTIC". I still have my original in that color. Bought in 67/68. Dennis

That glass looks great, considering what you started with. Keep up the good work!! Dennis

I'm sure it was!! Do you still have the car? Lately I spend more time on real cars than models. Dennis

Basically I was posting about not having much bench time lately. I posted pictures of why I was not getting any bench time and thought somebody might be able to use the images.

This section "General" states that it is for "Model car hobby or 1:1 automotive related topics only" I posted that I have not been able to get much bench time in lately due to working on a 1:1 1970 Mustang Boss 302. It was a statement about the hobby and a 1:1 automotive topic!! According to this section this is what I did, I did add pictures of the actual engine I'm working on!! Next thing I see that it has been moved to automotive reference pictures!! Everything that was in that post was in the "General" post guidelines!! I have seen Trucks in the automotive sections, Racing vehicles in the automotive section and not moved!! I have even posted to ask other members where some topics should be posted! I have had a few posts moved that were in the sections that could have been correct where I posted them. It seems that some of the moves of posts are not necessary they fit the category!! I've been a member of this forum for awhile and building models for 50 plus years. This is just my opinion, but I believe I posted my original post in the correct place. Well enough of my rant for now! Maybe when a post is moved there should be an explanation! Especially if it fits within the topics guidelines!! Dennis

Not much bench time lately. I have been helping on a 1970 Mustang Boss 302 restoration 1:1. Should be dropping the engine in next Saturday. Maybe fire it up too. I will get more detail pictures. Thought it might help anyone building this kit. Dennis

Still have beeswax in a drawer of my model tool box! Dennis

Any updates? Very interested in this build!! Dennis

I built those also when I was a kid in the mid 60's. I don't have them anymore, wished I did!! They probably got the firecracker/smokebomb treatment!! It is great that you still have yours. Dennis

Very good looking build!! Thanks for showing us! Dennis
