    Another great set of wheels from Randy.

    Here is the DMold on the Revell Mach1 body that I was going to covert to a 69 Boss 302 and then we know what happened. At least I can get the correct engine now.

    Those Exoto 1/18 prices are nuts. I do not have a lot of them but I think the most I paid was $200. The 1/12 ones are usually "only" about $600.

    I have a few pictures from the Simeone museum I will have to dig out from the NNL In. March 2019.

    Very nice start to another great "fleet" of 60's racers. I'm guessing we will seeing some GT350R's at some point.

    I have tuned in to a few of the races since the "break" and while viewership may have gotten a bump because not much else is on live yet, the future does not look too bright for the series. Once they go to a generic engine then personally I will care less what "brand" is on the hood. They may as well put electric cars on the track and fill the stands with robots with fake engine and crowd noise. I guess nothing stays the same but it's sad to watch the decline of something that those in charge primarily see as just a business and their strategy of trying to make everyone happy at the same time is driving away any new fans they gained in the last few decades.

    I like the dark blue. I was never a fan of the baby blue version.

    Very nice Mach1 that looks very stock. The 351 2v in 1972 was a let down performance wise but you are correct on the other improvements over the 69/70 models. 1971 was the pinnacle year with the Boss 351 and 429's being sadly a one year hurrah. I would like to find a 1972 HO Mach1 of which fewer were made than the 1971 Boss 351's.. My Mach1 has had several modifications including Koni Shocks and larger anti-sway bars, dual exhaust and a 4v intake, carb and headers.

    I always thought they were a good value (cost wise ) and still are compared to the 65-70 Mustangs. Although they of course are a little larger than a 69/70 I have like them since the first one I bought in about 1977. I have done all sorts of road trips and open track events and drag racing and autocrossing in my current Mach1. Although it will not keep up with my 2003 Cobra, it still get looks anywhere I go and my kids love the sound even if it drives like an old car and squeaks and does not have air conditioning.

    Nice work and it looks pretty detailed except of course for that minor detail Tamiya left out under the hood.

    I would definelty buy a few sets of these wheels.

    Thanks for the info. I saw an old Airfix kit on Ebay but I assume the molds are 50+ years old. The Dragon kt seems pretty pricey so I hope it would be a better kit than the Airfix one. I read the review on the IPMS site which gave a lot of info. I did not realize the Command Module is also included so the price is not out of line as it seems there are a few things the reviewer points out that could be better but since I have not built a space kit in 50 years the Monogram kit is looking like a pretty good option. If nothing else it's one model that will look better with not having to dust very often. ?

    The Hobby Lobby in Fair Lakes (Northern VA) re-opened so I checked it out on Saturday morning. Pretty good paint selection and lots and lots of retail priced kits of which I course I have multiple ones of the ones that interest me. Spent $20 and just glad they are open so I can make a mental not of what they have which is ten times better than Michael's. It thanked the cashier for them being back open and for her working. I will be so glad we things get back to normal for everyone. On another note I almost bought the Lunar Module and base kit since with a 40% off coupon it would only be about $18 which seems like a no brainer. The only concern I have is the size (1/48) and if anyone knows of a smaller scale kit that is pretty good please reply. Thanks

    Very good point. Over here we can watch the F-1 races on early Sunday mornings. I am not a diehard enough fan to watch a race very late into the night and almost morning. Of course there would be an 80% chance that Hamilton would win anyway.?

    Keep up the backdrop pictures. Surely they cannot be any worse than the real race tracks used in the Ford v. Ferraro movie. ?. I would love to do a 1/43 diormara of the Shelby facility with all the GT40's, Cobra's and Mustangs being prepared for races. I get your point that someone might point out that a jack should be black and not red or something like that.

    Oops - my bad. Sorry man. It is weird with no fans in the stands - that is for sure.
  18. vamach1
    Simple answer is there's a huge variety for these year Mustangs and I have owned five real 71-73 Mustangs. So here's a long list but by all means not complete ( not including color variations) 1971: Boss 351, Mach1 (351), 007 Mach1, 429 CJ with ram air, plain sportsroof, Mexican version, Shelby Europa, Drag car (Minuteman) 1972: 351 HO Mach1, Mach1 351, sprint sportsroof, convertible, GrandAam racer and maybe a Grande 1973: Eleanor, Mach1, sportsroof, convertible, Japanese police car, coupe with a 302, Warren Tope racer

    I posted a note on the Facebook page inquiring if anyone else could not log in and I figured there was some sort of outage. I found something else to do and congrats to Kevin Harvick on the win @ Atlanta.
  20. vamach1
    Yes they do. I should get a 10% comission on Kevin Lutz's sales. ?

    I found these in one of my Monogram kits. The top on is the kit part. The bottom is an old resin copy from 20 years ago. The 25 year old ad from R&Mof MD says Norm did sell one a long time ago perhaps an early HRM version. You can tell from the $2 catalog price it's a really old ad. Since I already had these parts I may have never actually bought one from Norm/Brad that I can remember.
  22. vamach1
    I will contact Brad. I need some Kidney ben wheels from him for a Cobra.

    Here is his business card. I found the Mach1 style grilles in my collection. The standard grille he makes is above the card. That grille would be for a Grande, etc. Also pictured are the Boss 351 grille from Kevin and one without a bumper (for a Mach1) since the kit bumper (If you have a correct one) would be body color.
  24. vamach1
    Yes he does and thanks goodness for that along with Rayskits does many different decal sheets for various 71-73 Mustangs.
  25. vamach1
    Hmmm very cool idea.
