BMF on that Ford wouldn't be too bad. Jump right in. You won't regret it. Love the digger too btw.

Wonderful weathering. Beautiful build. Great work sir.

Love your work. I need to up my game!

Ouch. On another note, I think James had one of his custom Jaguar's featured in Hot Rod Magazine of all places... like last year I think. It was a pretty spectacular design.

I built one of these as a teen with no fitment problems. Was actually impressed with how well it went together. Sometimes you just have to pry gently to get things to pop past parts and fit into place. I bought a glue bomb recently that someone had fitment issues with though but I haven't explored it any. If I recall correctly, once I glued the firewall in place, and had the interior assembled on the chassis, I had to just gently pry the body outwards to get everything to pop into place. I know there are tabs also on the rear of the chassis that have to line up in the body. Then once the front of the chassis fits into place you add the front filler panel behind the bumper. Then it just basically falls into place.

Absolutely beautiful build.

Funnel cakes?? say no more.

The odd thing was, when I was playing w/ the mobile app, it was smoother and faster than it had ever been. Right up until it failed again. Balls.

Well, the mobile app was working for me until I tried to refresh it... it wasn't showing I had pics in a folder (but they were there) so it was a minor annoyance, until I refreshed the app... then it failed. And kept failing. So then I tried to get to the website... and that doesn't even try. annoying.

As much as I like sitting in the new mustangs (probably the most comfortable Mustang I've ever sat in) I still prefer my ragged old foxbody mustangs. I've had a few of them come and go but right now I have a '94 Mustang GT, and an '88 Mustang LX hatchback... slowly becoming a street/strip car. And of course my weak little 2.3 automatic leaf spring '77 Mustang II.. which was was my first car. The fox platform wasnt much for comfort and quality but they sure are fun. That, and you can pretty much swap any suspension/drivetrain and most interior parts from an '04 Mustang to a '79 Mustang. They're like legos!

I don't know what those are but anything covered in powdered sugar has to be good... Might have to stop at Jungle Jim's to see if I can find them... That place carries literally everything from every corner of the world

Welcome sir! Glad to see you made it over here. This hobby will soon overtake everything in full scale life! Just ask me how I know! LOL Now if only they made 1/25 scale replicas of our Lincolns

Beautiful build. Were the valvecovers also from the AMT 29 or that Lindberg hodge podge thing I'm building right now?

Good stuff man. I see you post things on facebook groups here and there. Didnt realize you had so many last year.

They're surprisingly not bad. They don't get as dark as a high end helmet, but I don't do any super bright TIG work. Just MIG for now on all of my junk, which is plenty good. My welder is a Hobart so I do at least have a good welder and not a harbor freight unit. Welded up the entire underside of my mustang on homemade rotisserie stands that I also had to do some welding on. It's a cheap way to be, but it works well.. until some big shop knocks down my door to hire me lol! I've put many miles of wire thru my welder putting Mustangs back together for me and my friends. Same helmet too.

I have lots of their stuff. I don't use it every day so it lasts for me. Welding helmet, welding clamps, butt-welding clamps, I love their sheepskin mig welding gloves... grinding discs don't last as long as most better brands but theyre cheap enough to justify it. I have a variable speed buffer that I use seldomly as well. If I were doing this stuff every day I'd buy good stuff. Several people I know have their tool boxes and they are actually of good quality I bought 2 sets of their 6 ton stands... the ones that are like 13 inches all the way down, and I had a car on them for almost 3 years with no issues.

I didn't realize James Hetfield had such a great taste in custom cars until recently. He has some interesting and amazing looking vehicles.

So beautiful. Great work Tulio

I apologize if this is not in the right spot for this, but not real sure where it should go. I have been looking high and low to try and find the thread from a while back where someone had a build up of the old AMT display case trailer that someone painted like a seafoam green and put whitewalls and different wheels on...

I've not really even seen any pictures of this kit... but man that's a nice looking floorpan. And, with the others, I'm cool with having to open up a few holes. Beats the heck out of having to fill them instead! Thanks for the heads up!

My T bucket will be in primer eventually

When I was young, I loved Mopars... the crazy colors and styling, and the massive engines. But my wallet at 17-18yrs old did not enjoy the prices of anything Mopar. So I always liked Fords. My dad has always had some cool cars growing up and still has his '65 Fairlane 500. I always liked Mustangs and my first car was a Mustang II. I love the foxbody mustangs because of their long life span and the ability to take parts from an '04 and bolt them to a '79 and it work perfectly...
