Hard to tell if both are the same car due to the shade of yellow and that one appears to be missing the snake emblem.

Petty drove a big block car on short tracks but it was too nose heavy and they handled like poop.

It's cheaper. For books and videos. Etc.

The Hoonigan would be pretty hard to replicate. On the other hand, seeing the craft glitter paint it looks "out of scale" but perhaps it could be a base coat for more coats. Try experimenting on an extra model. Just my two cent opinion.

Nice to see an older and to find and expensive kt built. Nice job.

Welcome and enjoy our madness.

No complaints if it turned out like this.

Are you doing any particular driver or just a Saturday night special?

Hopefully a car museum will realize these are one-off masterpieces and want to display some of them.

A lot has changed for the better. There is a nostalgia trend which does mean many of the kits we loved 40-50 years ago are based on promos and are far inferior to ones made in the last 20 years. However, the chances of newer and better "replacements" for older is probably just not going to happen as long as the old molds are still around. The high prices of rarer kits can be a downer but all in all I would say we have a lot more to chose from than 40 years ago. The aftermarket is a whole other story and seems to be as active as ever with so many choices to build things the large companies will likely never mold.

Sweet. I wish they had done the prepainted version in more colors.

I feel your pain on the MPC/AMT 71-73 Mustang kits.

I have 1/87 up to 1/12 but probably 80% are 1/24 and 1/25 with most of the rest 1/43rd.

Great Scott that is out of this world.

I would go with white or the two-tone.

Check within 15 feet of where it disappeared. I have dropped parts that I swear had wings and ended very far from where I was sitting.

My wish list Is as follows. 67-68 Mustang coupe/conv. 69/70 Mustang coupe/conv. 71/73 Mustandcoupe/conv. 03/04 Mustang Mach1 Ford Mach II concept Daytona Cobra Coupe 427 Cobra in 1/25 scale 289 Cobra in 1/24 scale 70's Detomaso Pantera with an ENGINE. GT40 Mark I in 1/24 scale Ford Mark IV in 1/24 scale

I guess I'll have to say it is not a car. It is the only non car model I have built in the last 40 years. I loved the movies as a kid and built this maybe five years ago. Believe it or not I did not build any Mustangs that I can remember as a kid, I built planes and ships and space stuff and sc-fi and tanks and a few cars. It wasn't unti my 20's that I started to collect any Mustang, GT40, Pantera or Cobra that I could get my hands on regardless of the scale.

Yea a 1/43 kit and a great build to boot. I have built about 20 but only the Monogram Cobra is the only one with an engine.

I refuse to pay absurd prices for 50 year old kits so when I spotted this built up in good condition I snagged it for $15. Most of the time I see a 67 Mustang it is a glue bomb. The chassis and engine were trashed but are identical to the 68 Shelby kit that are plentiful and cheap.

If it sounds to good to be true it is a SCAM. NEVER buy from anyone anywhere with little or no feedback.

I voted yes but the site as it is could not handle transactions like Ebay can (bids, buy it now, etc). I think for those folks that have good "feedback" meaning the are regular posters (and not trawlers) and are not in an area that has a local club would probably like to buy other members excess kits. One main reason I'd like to sell here is to not have to pay the Paypal and Ebay fees and I'd know the model would be going to a builder and not speculator. Until then I'll see or donate kits at the local monthly MAMA meetings.

Just saw his bio an he lives in the same area I grew up in (Franconia/Alexandria). I'm guessing we went to the same hobby shops at Springfield mall and a Five and dime store in Rose Hill shopping center and a hobby shop near Landmark. NOVA has a ton of people but I lived in Maryland for five when I found MAMA and keep coming back for almost three decades.

Great turnout. Thanks for posting.
