Looks great and it looks much better with the “improved” engine compartment which is more work but worth it.

Very nice job on a kit that has its roots back over 55 years. The paint color looks great.

I ordered two of the MENG 1/24 MKII kits and they were shipped from China last week. It was about $110 for the pair shipped.

Do you know something we don’t? The website has not been updated in three years. I’ll believe when I see it and about the same time those VRM big block Cobra decals might be available too. ?

I’m sure you look like the graffiti tagged type. ?

In a word no. Some contests ask the builder to provide the instructions with the model so a judge would look at the if there was a question about a kit part versus the spruce which if used would be an alteration from the box stock build definition.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks. I am 15 years older than her father. I feel old. ?. She is a fan of older Fords though. I should have asked her for some driving tips.

Very nice and yes the Boss 429 engine was the right choice.

BMCP guages are to scale some of the accessory guages (oil, temp, etc.) sure are small once you cut them out with an exacto knife or scissors. They are like a photo print in that you do not have to put them in water. I cut them out and use a tiny amount of white glue and press them in with the end of a paint brush and then add a drop of clear glue or epoxy to replicate the “glass.”

I did not find a diecast but I found her.

Thanks to Steve Butler I now have a Farrah to go with the Cobra II. ?

Agree 100% with everyone. Very nicely done. Are the wiper blades from the kit?

Thanks for the details on the build. It sounds like after trial and error you found the perfect combination. It looks fantastic and I assume well worth the effort.

That would be a cool build. I have pondered doing one but have not found anyone that makes the decals,

I just corralled a three foot black snake out of my shed and let him go into the woods. He was not aggressive and I was easily able to use a pole to carry him. Sure he might come back but the mice will not miss him if he doesn’t.

I’m picking Harvick for the 600 but it’s along race.

Yes. An hour later and he is still celebrating. Well deserved win.

Very nice and the widened Magnum 500’s and gold color give it a sophisticated yet muscular look.

For sure and then the Coca Cola 600 later. Maybe Helio will get a 4th win today.

I am leaning toward the white interior. Anyone think all black would be better?

Unless the showed is judged, then putting a multiple models is the same category in a participant and/or popular vote show would in theory dilute the votes for the person that entered them. Since there are not many truly judged shows except IPMS events, they have strict sweeps rules. If someone build six models and enters six different classes that’s fine as long as the model fits that category. With no shows for the last two springs in most of the country there will probably be a glut of models showing up on contest tables later this year.

It’s a can I ordered of Dark Aqua (or Gulfstram Aqua) which I have only been able to find online as automotive paint in large spray cans. I may spray more coats as I noticed the hood was not completely covered and I resprayed it.

I count six Pantera’s. Nice score.

Here’s a MPC glue bomb I am rescuing along with the AMT body I mentioned with the later issues front flip and rear panel added. Since I want to make something that resembles the Autolite I paid dearly for a MPC clear hood and figure I can probably change anything else I need from whatever parts I have to make the record breaking Salt Flat car. That wild engine is going to be fun recreating.
