  1. Nobody would have outrun the cops if they had Boss 429's :-). Very nice build.
  2. true but those valve covers are pretty even if they are missing the Powered by Ford script.
  3. Some of the 68 Shelby kits have this manifold.
  4. On a related note I just bought an MPC Mustang II King Cobra kit and it clearly has a set of 351 Cleveland valve covers. Any Ford person knows the largest engine put in a Mustang II was the 302 Windsor engine.
  5. I see the word station wagon and my eyes glaze over and I would take one for free whether it was plastic, resin, hard carved out of wood or came from a bag of cheetos. I probably offended some people but my point is not everyone builds builds everything.
  6. Test fitting tires - may have to go with something lower profile.
  7. I would say this is pretty official with the HVA seal.
  8. Perhaps the stock 289 covers from the Revell/Monogram 65 Mustang. The powered by Ford did not start until a few years later.
  9. 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.
  10. Ready for sanding and polishing. Duplicolor 2009 Ford Edge Redfire pearl metallic.
  11. that may not be that far fetched. My neighbor Charlie probably has his contact info.
  12. Next time my neighbor takes out his McClusky coupe I will bring a tape measure.
  13. One body out of the paint booth.
  14. 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.
  15. Several of the MAMA's boys will be there.
  16. 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.
  17. Got some primer on the body. Next step is to test fit the AMT modified chassis and adjust as necessary.
  18. 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. :-)
  19. been there done that and it was with a new kit that was just bad.
  20. Yes, chrome for the Boss or any non Mach1 or Sprint for 71/72. All the 73 front bumpers were larger and body color.
