Test fitting tires - may have to go with something lower profile.

I would say this is pretty official with the HVA seal.

Perhaps the stock 289 covers from the Revell/Monogram 65 Mustang. The powered by Ford did not start until a few years later.

Gunze Sanyo and Mini Exotics.

I should take Pete up on his offer from his when he signed his book. As best I can tell he promised to help me if I was going to build a Daytona coupe. I had built the 427 Supercoupe and he also signed it. $100 was a lot for a book in 1996 but it is worth ten times that now.

Ready for sanding and polishing. Duplicolor 2009 Ford Edge Redfire pearl metallic.

that may not be that far fetched. My neighbor Charlie probably has his contact info.

I think it is Pete's fault.

Next time my neighbor takes out his McClusky coupe I will bring a tape measure.

Coupe @ Simeone museum.

One body out of the paint booth.

Looks like some gems among a whole lot of NASCAR stuff. You will have to go really low price wise to unload a lot of this if you expect a quick turnaround. As you know most people that collect certain makes already own most of what is available and do not really need that third or forth or fifth Earnhardt or Gordon stock car. Good luck.

Several of the MAMA's boys will be there.

I use my IPad 90% of the time and phone and pc the other 10%. I only use a camera if I am going to take a lot of pictures.

Got some primer on the body. Next step is to test fit the AMT modified chassis and adjust as necessary.

It is great these models were saved. If I were a resin caster I would probably be drooling at the chance to make copies of these works of art. I can only JC cannot help himself and he starts to work on recreating these on his own. :-)

been there done that and it was with a new kit that was just bad.

Yes, chrome for the Boss or any non Mach1 or Sprint for 71/72. All the 73 front bumpers were larger and body color.

What would you not do? Go, sell, enter, talk to people? Very nice models by the way.

Nice job restoring what was a really rough start. I would have probably chopped up the 66 coupe kit and converted it.

Thanks everyone for the info and additional pictures.

Missing link grille all painted pretty.

I saw pictures of three cobras in progress on the GSL news section of the website. Anyone know who he is and are these going to available as kits or is it a personal project.

I was a dumb kid and it was mostly tanks and planes. People hate Ebay but I always check the completed sales to get an idea of what a kit is worth. Then I see people asking 2-3 times for the same kit and I have to wonder do they think some sucker will eventually buy it - perhaps so but I guess they must be really patient.
