  1. Another option from the land down under. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181691207591?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  2. The 67 Shelby is done. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99650&hl= After the J car is the 289 Cobra and then on to a 69 or 70 Boss or Mach1.
  3. Here is the Scale Modeling by Chris engine.
  4. Progress is being made on the J car.
  5. I need another Revell kit. I already painted the three bodies I have.
  6. Palmer made a 70 Boss 302 but wasn't that a close knock off of the MPC kit?
  7. Half plane Half truck.
  8. Guess who will be ordering some of these :-)
  9. Are the guages painted or decals?
  10. How about the ones from Harold Bradford? He has a 289 Cobra engine kit.
  11. I painted it so long along I cannot say for sure - probably a Testors red. Other things not evident are a resin rear end, photo etch grille, wheel center emblems, and taillight trim, windshield washer bag, and roll bar. The funny thing is in the group picture I forgot to include the AMT 67 GT350 I built several years ago.
  12. I have not built one yet but it looks like a 427 chassis and engine to me. Compare it next to Revell 427 to decide which is more or less accurate.
  13. For the record this weather bites.
  14. Here are a few closeups w/o flash.
  15. Two more pics.
  16. The recent build has some company of diecasts.
  17. After a long time, a lot of parts from many sources and some lousy winter days, I have finished this one for now. The only things I may add later are plug wires and the seat belts that hang from the roll bar. This began as a AMT 68 Shelby with a Mini Exotics conversion plus some parts from the AMT 67GT350.
  18. It goes to show you sometimes what you think is correct when you see a real car it actually isn't. The "real" R model I saw would be what I call a private entry 66 Shelby with some 65 R model mods. The Monogram kit represents a 65 R model fairly accurately which you have replicated. The only thing I see is if you remove the battery (mounted in trunk) and radio, and add the shock tower braces and a Monte carlo bar you will be good to go. R models also had stock looking valve covers if you care to take it that degree of accuracy.
  19. Saw a nice "R model" at a car show last weekend. It has the 66 dash, style quarter windows and side scoops so I'm guessing it's not a factory R model.
  20. The Boss 429 had the horns relocated and lines and fittings and lines for the oil cooler. Changes those things should be an easy fix.
  21. Here is a nice picture of a stock 302 engine for reference.
  22. I have spare parts for this kit if you need them.
  23. You may want to "upgrade" under the hood with replacement inner fender and adding shock tower braces.
