  1. Will do.
  2. He's still around, he hangs out mostly on facebook model groups. I talk to him almost daily.
  3. I dig it. I have one of these 2dr Monaco's to be restored too. I'm going for the late 70's/Early 80's street machine look.
  4. I wouldn't mind having enough to do 3 cars
  5. Sweet! and here all I wanna do with one is recreate the leafblower Monza from Roadkill.
  6. I wanted to pick one up too the other day but I already had the 30 model a and the pinto in my hands lol
  7. Good enough for me! Your work is always amazing so I trust you!
  8. Sure. PM me your email address. I'll try to get to it this weekend.
  9. Did your kit not come with them? Should have been on the decal sheet. I could scan my sheet if that helps
  10. Not bad except your flat black paint scheme is incorrect. It comes off the spoiler and curved over to the top if the fender flares and follows the flared to the highest lower body line and goes forward to the front flare and runs along the top of the front flare and above the outer bumper sides on the front fenders, and front nose air dam. Also the hood patch is supposed to appear more like a 71-73 mustang. Both sets of flat black also have a small pinstripe of flat black just outside of the main sections of flat black. Google some shots of the car, youll see what I mean.
  11. How would you seal the pigments and powders? Sorry I haven't done a lot of SERIOUS weathering yet, and I'm looking for tips when I build my Mad Max Interceptor
  12. How does it not wear off when being picked up and moved around over and over?
  13. Looking good Richard! Do you use a flat clear to preserve your weathering? I'd imagine it would wear off if you handle it a lot.
  14. I heard they had to tell Ford to turn the boost DOWN in those cars because they're such monsters.
  15. Finally got a paint job on this thing! After working a lot of hours and not so good weather, I finally had a chance to do something with it. here it is bare orange with no detail. It looks more red without clear. Here it is with decals, foil, and clear. Looks much more orange. I haven't polished this thing either. I may not. It looks pretty good. Still a good bit of work left to do.
  16. Picked mine up friday. It's almost like they did the 2 part body as a nod to the old monogram 30. I'm ok with it. It fits really nicely just dry fitting it. I suspect it will look great once it's permanent.
  17. I know I'm not crazy, I saw a post about it here, and I saw a release date on another site.... but now I can't find a thing! What gives? is it for Q4?
  18. I'm with you there. I love the noise my '94 GT makes with the single chamber flowmasters and tailpipes. And, my '93 Lincoln Mark VIII with the wonderful 4.6 DOHC, now that it has dual exhaust and magnaflows. It's beautiful music.
  19. Wow. love it! Classy! Would like to know where you got the Meteor scripts and the piece above the bumper from?
  20. tried sleeping w/ a pillow between your knees? might help with the hip pain if you sleep on your side.
  21. Really cool! Rear tires are of the old tubbed prostreet SuperBee/RoadRunner
  22. Some of the old Revell "street machine" kits came with the 2 pc old style BFG's. They can go together nicely with superglue. I also have a monza street machine w/ the same tires... it's basically the same kit as the Mustang II but w/ a different body.
  23. The kit I just got had the resin conversion stuff in it. Just need to bevel the front lip and around the sides to match better...
  24. I got my kit in the mail the other day. The kit in the first picture has a metal supercharger... not sure if it was added by the seller, since it already had the resin parts too. I would like to do the same thing as you. Build both versions. But I want to find the release with the photo etch and different rear wheels now There goes more money haha Oh and to overcome the shallow wheel issue, and the fact that the tires are way too modern... I am using the old Otaki/ARII wheels w/ the BFG tires. They're more to scale. I'm also working on having a friend copy them in resin so I have more of them
