Very cool cat. Superb job.

Simply beautiful. On my list to build one also.

A++++. The decals came out very nice. My 2019 goal is be one of a handful to build a 71 Europa this year - the European version of what a 71 Shelby would have looked like perhaps. Keith Marks has the decals.

Yep. Same scientists that said an ice age was coming soon. Perhaps in a few hundred thousands years or maybe not. Do we care? Can we do squat about it? No. Far greater chance of our own demise being caused by a NATURAL disaster (like a super volcano) and then people killing each other over a scare food supply to survive. I'm sure we can adapt to a few degrees change over time. The poor countries may be SOL as they are woefully prepared for even minor disruptions. Look at Venezuela -100% politically caused food shortages shows how vulnerable society can be.

Sounds great in theory but as we have seen with other "global" problems the developed countries beat themselves up with controls and restrictions and we tell the rest of the world to get their act together decades from now. I see only one person who would have they guts to tell other countries to clean up their act now but he's a little busy at the moment with a drug and human trafficking problem just to the south.

Mr. Hobby's cousin Dr. Evil suggests using a mini laser to test the paint .

Some people like to kid themselves that they are saving the planet so they can sleep better at night in their air conditioned or heated house.

Like others have said trash being dumped into landfills hundreds of miles inland is probably not ending up in the oceans. Where do they countries with over a billion mostly people dump stuff? Until that problem is dealt all othe measures while helpful are only a fraction of the solution. I do not see the Mississippi river on this list.

Are we sure Bruce wasn't driving?

Didn't we see half of these in SAE. Just busting you. . Lucky to see you work in person onc in a while.

It will be a street Boss 302. Now I just need to find 1/32 Magnum 500s and Boss decals.

Think smaller.

No you have not been drinking but who can explain these pictures?

Completed build (w/o engine) by Al Meske. Two things jump out at me which I think others already mentioned. The area where the emblem goes (on the Mach1) behind the rear window needs to be smoothed out since the Boss does not have them. Also, as JC recently noted, the nose should be tweaked to make sure it aligns with the fender. Hats off to Al for painting his Boss in the least seen color of the four.

Not that I remember. Did small sections and used wet paper towels.

I built this a few decades ago.

From what I remember building one of these decades ago is you'll need a lot of decal solvent to get the decals to go on smoothly. I like that the body can be removed from the chassis to show the detail.

The short answer is no but there is an expensive Mangusta kit with an engine someone posted a link to on the Forum a while back. Just having the rear suspension and gearbox would be a good start as the rest could be scratchbuilt and the engine could come from the 70Mach1.

Wayne NJ about 580 miles from you. Sounds like a three day trip but worth it assuming you have never been.

Nice work on them all. I'm sure Cobraman could find some side pipes for you.

Very realistic looking mate. Can I send you my Boss 302 - it is not beat up enough looking.

I'd buy it but this will have to do for now.

Thanks. Pretty much sprayed like normal. I used a Testors metallic black which took a while to dry and shot it with clear after maybe three coats of the colorshift paint. I found the paint at Michael's. Retail is about $9 so use a coupon.

My daughter is 22 and she wants a real Eleanor 67 Mustang. I wonder where she gets it. Sadly she is one out of a thousand that appreciates muscle cars.

Use black metallic as a primer. I painted a Mustang Cobra with it.
