I picked up, what I assume is an MPC '79 Mustang off ebay only because I've never actually seen one before, and it's missing a few things, but amongst the largest concern is it has no hood. Does anyone know a resin caster that makes this hood? Or do I have other options?

Saw this fairly rare '98 Cobra this morning on the way to work. Only a few hundred made in Bright Atlantic Blue. This guy has good taste putting anthracite colored FR500 wheels on it..

That's fantastic! I love the idea of using the mesh overlay mask when you painted the gold!

Hmm... there's one up the next exit from my work.... maybe I'll have to check them out.

wow that does look like a cool kit. Might have to pick myself up one.

Holy BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. I've bought half of the vehicles I own for less than that!

I happened across a Revell 70 mustang grande/convertible kit today on ebay... never seen one before

Looks great! I have a few of these to build.

There's a few more tools and supplies on the desk now... I kinda need some small shelves above the desk now... getting kinda cluttered. It's clean there because I was straightening up after a finished build!

I failed miserably. I lost interest in my Galaxie, and then never really allotted myself time for my Mustang II. Makes 2 years in a row for me... Maybe next year...

Done.

I'd like to thank Nick Winter for a successful trade.

Yes. My ambitions get the best of me too often in ALL of my hobbies.. not just this one. But this one does get me good. lol I will probably take a break after my Crusher Camaro is done. I've tried lots of new things on it and also driven myself crazy with it. I might just do a basic kit, or take a break in general. I also have 2 commission builds I need to finish too... so maybe those? I'm not sure. I have about 175 unbuilt kits and sometimes that seems like a burden. If I build one a month (which is my average) it will take me at least 15 years to finish them all... so I have to force myself to get moving!! And that's not counting all the rebuilders I have waiting in boxes!!

Beautiful work!

Man, I really need to get some of those ARII wheels/tires.... Builds look great guys. I want to do something similar to Miles' build... a neglected project car.

Timothy by The Buoys. Always kinda thought it was a catchy tune.

Whoa... very nice work. And I thought I could draw well. lol

I bought a PS4 in like August/September-ish... and only have 2 games so far. Mad Max and Grand Theft Auto 5. I thoroughly enjoy both of them.

Small update... painted the engine/trans/blower/manifold and also scratchbuilt the massive scoop. Plus a few more odds and ends. I've pretty much called it on polishing the body. I have a few small runs that I just can't do anything more with, and without stripping the body (which I dont want to do) there's no fixing them. So I'll live with it. took this mock up shot a while back before NNL, can't remember why I took the picture... Some mock up shots of the scoop Did some minor tweaking and squaring up of the scoop and then made it permanent. Also covered it with BMF. Hoping some clearcoat will level out the look of it a bit since I had to use multiple pieces of BMF. As you'll also noticed I blackwashed the entire engine. When the guys from Roadkill yanked this thing in favor of the LS, it was a greasy mess! Also, I installed the MSD box on the firewall just like the 1:1 car, then amused myself with a mock up. If you look closely, you will see I cut the clutch pedal off of this thing, and then I split the clutch and brake pedals and glued them together to create an automatic brake pedal. Not perfect but it looks ok for something that you'll likely not be able to see once its assembled. Also put the rachet shifter in the console too and assembled the interior. I'm tempted to finish the roll cage as the 1:1 car has door bars, but I dont think I have the room on this kit. But that's it for now. More to come!

Glad to hear from you. I was worried when you hadn't been on here to see my message with the tracking info... then it not get delivered. Glad you are able to at least track it down. Good luck with the p/o.

He hasn't been on in a week. I sent him a package and I fear he hasn't seen my messages with the tracking info. The package I sent him wasn't delivered successfully and was sent back to the post office and I'm hoping he knows this before something happens and he's not able to retrieve it.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Lol!! Now I know what I have to do for a lot of the hot rods I have stored in my brain lol!

Can't wait to see the outcome!

I came to this party late.... but I'd love to see a modern 69 AMX... lol

Very nicely done
