Nice ponies. I went to the Sully plantation show which as you know is about only 30 miles away. Too bad they are on the same day.

On word. Sick

Here is the before picture. The rear spoiler is hard to see if the after pic. He was very pleased with his mini replica.

I have never seen these made in plastic or resin.

I changed the wheels, painted the steering wheel, added a rear spoiler and VA license plates to make a replica of my friends Mach1 he has owned for 25 plus years. I plan to surprise him with it this weekend.

Missing Link parts

Firebird designs has the decals.

Missing Link resin has some of the Cobra II parts.

Your last point is so true. So few kids these days could care less about models or old cars. As long as we can click a mouse and turn a key we see what the other old guy are up to and truly enjoy the sights and sounds of old cars.

Very very nice paint and finish. Most kits tend to overdo the chrome parts as in reality many parts would be made of other metals and perphaps polished. It's pretty easy to add plug wires with the pre-wired distributors available from the aftermarket. Of course a Jungle Pam figure (even if it isn't a Jungle Jim car) would make the model look ever better ;-)

The latest annoyance is when you bid on an item a pop us comes up asking if you want to bid higher. You try to close it and nothing happens.

NIce color nd yes those tires look big for 13 inches. Perhaps you can swap them out.

If we never see this kit there is always plan B.

I wonder if they will change the name from Mustang to T5. :-)

ALL CAPS.. They are on a mission after getting past Pittsburgh.

I think this qualifies as nerdy. I am on the left.

Get that Green Hornet done so we can see progress on this one. I would guess it is no where near the level of the old Pocher kits but it is certainly one of a kind.

Awesome Torino and all the other ones. On my bucket list is a 73 Eleanor and 71 Bond red Mach1 and perhaps a Charlie's Angels Cobra II.

I'll be driving in the parade in Washington DC giving vets a ride. It is the very least I can do living so close to DC to honor them.

Anytime there are panel lines I cut the decal at the break. It is easier to work in smaller sections and to line up.

Looks great from all the angles.

Very nicely done.

Sadly after waiting 49 years it will probably not happen unless the kits have already been molded. Just a hunch but I would not hold my breath on seeing them this year. Maybe next year for $35 retail.

I would say the 69 Shelby. SAE did some articles on all Ford V8s.

Nailed it. I'm not sure if Keith Marks does the Hertz center caps - that would be a nice touch as would Fred Cady's 289 Hipo decal.
