I guess we can get tired or feel like there isn't anything left to accomplish. I have cut way back on real car activities and only go to a few shows or cruises. I am still buying more models than I could ever build but I love having something to do besides just vegging and watching tv in the winter. Perhaps you can document your collection and post pictures as most is us have only seen the tip of the iceberg. Take a break and see how you feel. I sometimes go for 2-3 months without touching a kit and then I realize I miss the joy it brings me.

Thanks for posting the pictures Daddyfink.

thanks

Found the tail light part I bought at an NNL so it will be right at home bringing up the rear.

yeah - crossing my fingers Brad will cast the Coupe on loan.

What day is this. I hope it's not a bad joke.

I test fit the ram air ductwork and it fits like a glove on the AMT kit and might need slight trimming on the MPC version so it fits flush.

Great to hear Kevin is casting them. A Danbury mint model was sacrificed to get this project off and running.

I hope Kevin offers these parts for builders of the AMT and MPC Mustang kits. I destroyed an expensive diecast model so molds could be made of the ram air system, shock tower braces, third member and other parts. Check out the picture of the original parts and some copies. If you are building a 71-73 Mustang leave a post here or see below.

Cool color. Now only 714 to go ;-)

I'm guessing the 714 includes diecasts. If it is kits only he must have bought every kit sold with 500 miles over the last ten years.

Looking good so far.

If I count all my diecast I am probably around 270 cobras. Don,t ask how many Mustangs.

I like process changes and am looking forward to the show.

Lots of 76 grads on here. I have been to a reunion about every ten years. In the last five years or I can see what everyone is up to on Facebook. The people that tend to go to reunions were very active in HS sports or clubs and they like to relive their glory days. I like to go just to see how old they look in person and at 58 without any gray hair I must have drank from a different water fountain than anyone else.

I am curious what your plan is for the dash. Why a decal is not provided for the gauges and speedometer is beyond me.

Fabulous job. The real one is in the Petersen museum.

Here is a picture of three others in various states of completion. The red one will have th engine from the 289 Cobra.

Drove by it dozens of times on the way to northern NJ but never stopped there. I will stop for sure next time.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks. For some reason the 66 chassis does not fit well at all so I've scrapped it and will use the 67 GT350 chassis which is ten times better anyway.

Here is a modified Iron Horse body that I "shelbyized" in the 80's and at some point later decided to try and undo my customizing. Anyway, someday I'll figure out what do to with it - perhaps go back to the Shelby idea.

Can you post some pics of the the engine, interior and chassis of the Mach1? I'm not sure if the parts I have are correct.
