Looks very British. Nice job.

I found the roof piece and can send it to you.

I'll look for it. I know I was working on a Shelby DeMexico out of the AMT 69 Mach1 but I think the roof for it cam from the Revell funny car kit.

Here it is built. I still have the "hardtop" part.

Did you use the VRM decals. They said the correct set will be out in a month or two.

I bought the 69 Mustang kit years ago and built it as a convertible.

I just sold that kit (less the body) on Evilbay a few weeks ago for $15.50. I threw in some extra Johan Mustang Funny car parts and body. I guess I could have sold separate parts for ten times more.

Very very nice. At one time the only choice was the very pricey Thunder Valley resin kit or the sketchy IMC kit.

I'm bringing several 67/68 GT350/GT500's.

Two thumbs up from this Cobra (replica) owner. :-)

It is pretty much the same kit except the front end, grille and taillight panel.

I have a Supersnake 1/18 diecast and a 1/24 FM diecast although I'm not sure how accurate they are but they both have the twin turbos.

I have some plaques and trophies in the garage with other car show trophies and the ribbons in display cases with models. I'm not sure what to do with the IMPS coins though.

I wish you could leave feedback on sellers on Ebay even if you did not something. Here's an example. Are you out of your FREAKING mind trying to rip people off? SHAME on you and FIVE negative stars. I would be fine if Ebay charged a small fee (say 50 cents) for a listing whether you sell something or not. I have sold some old gluebombs and vintage incomplete kits but start the auction at $10 or $15 and have never had a problem selling them for sometimes double the initial asking price.

About four years ago I scored a bunch of FM and DM Mustangs in an online estate sales and paid about $25 per car. Although I could have sold one of them for over $100, I took it apart and had a bunch of pieces resin cast. Of course taking it part ruined it and there's no way I could put it back together. It (a Boss 351) will end up in a junkyard diorama someday with other mostly plastic models that I used for just a few parts.

Since there are no listing fees for most auctions they have nothing to lose and figure some sucker may bite. When I sell somthing I set a reasonable price and watch the bids. Sometimes I get my initial asking price and sometimes there are multiple bidders, but I would never price something absurdly high - it is a waste of time.

Just to be clear, HRM is in business. Here's a link to images. Dig deep into your pockets - it's $95,

These were resin bodies from Mini Exotics (long out of business) and Historic Racing Miniatures which are available though Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland.

It was interesting experimenting with parts from the 67GT350, 68GT500 and HRM Shelby kits to build these three. The red one is the old Mini Exotics version I built 25 years ago.

Beautiful job. I'll have to go back to the build thread to remember where you started.

Two thumbs up Cobraman.

Welcome from the Northern tip of Virginia.

Magnifico as always JC.
