    Not exactly 100 pieces but the “factory” pre-painted body is nice and a big selling point to those that can overlook the kit inaccuracies.

    Reminds me of the Factory Five replica I had - the paint was pretty nice. Your build is looking amazing.

    Weird that somehow I missed that set. I know there was a MCG set for the 69/70 Shelby. I guess I am now on the hunt for a MCG set myself If this unicorn exists. Please let me know if you find any. Thanks.

    Mini Exotics had a trans kit for the old AMT 68 Shelby to make a 67. It might fit the newer AMT kit but the problem is Gerry sold the photoetch about 30 years ago. That’s the only one I know about. MCG does a set for the 67 stock Mustang GT and the Bullitt Mustang but I have never seen the 67 Shelby set.

    Very Nice. That color is much better than the baby blue one.

    This one is probably more suited for the Johan or Blue Max kit.

    No surprise in how the process actually happens. I appreciate your sense of humor also in these days where more is badly needed. ?

    Super nice paint and detailing and decals and everything.
  9. vamach1
    Yeah - that is odd.

    Rare Mopar’s are just crazy money. A Restored 71 429CJ Mustang convertible might bring $100K and would perform just as well.

    Good eye on that. I trained you well Jedi. ?

    Hang in there brother. So sorry to hear this. I always enjoy seeing your work and the constructive comments on the builds we have in common.

    That price on the Trumpeter Nova is interesting. Must be some story behind that. You would think it was a Mustang or something. ?

    Pretty sure one of the Cougar kits did.

    Sam Auxier ran this car and there was a 1/18 diecast but no decals in 1/25 are available.

    Saw this one for sale for $56K. It is gorgeous.

    I’m sure other racers ran the 69/70 Boss 429 engine in that Aerodynamic body style so go for it. I found a set of the Minuteman decals at a swap meet so it’s on my list of the next 100 kits I will build by 2030. ?. I come across pictures of old 71-73 drag cars and there are some decal makers that do some different ones.

    Very nice Ray. I like the rear painted bumper which blends in nicely with the body.

    Fantastic build. Ken and Carroll would be proud.

    He does offer the silver decals for the Mach1 which were typically on the darker colors and and had the argent (silver) matching spoilers and hood in the same color.
  21. vamach1
    uh oh - bidding war. ? I agree the Missing Link one is more suited for the older 65-68 AMT kits.
  22. vamach1
    I would certainly experiment with that. I used a 69/70 Revell/Monorgram engine compartment for one of the 73 MPC Mustang kits. It is not a perfect fit but this is why I despise the older promo chassis based kits.
  23. vamach1
    You may end up having to cut up another kit to get a realistic looking engine compartment.

    Paint looks great. Better than the Factory Five kit I had three years ago. ?

    I do not think you imagining things which is good news I acquired some decal sheetS for a 67 Mustang T/A Coupe many years ago. The bad news is I do not recall where I bought these. AFX may know.
