  1. My thoughts would be to use Alclad Satin Clear over Black or Dark Grey
  2. MCW carries some Candy Pink . https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/search?keywords=pink&sortOption=descend_by_match
  3. Looks like it is Mustangs only in the employee parking lot
  4. These came in the mail the other day. Not sure when I will use them, Wanted to get some before they are discontinued. Fantastic products as usual.
  5. Dear It's the end of an era!Everything has to come to an end, and a few weeks ago, Gene Winfield announced on Instagram that he had decided to part ways with his iconic Mojave shop. Yes. You read correctly. The shop, located at 8201 Sierra Highway in Mojave, California, is now listed for sale on Redfin. The property, spanning over 5 acres, is priced at $595,000. It features a vast workshop area with over 10 enclosed bays, office spaces, and a residential section.I have had the honor of visiting the shop several times. Gene has always greeted us with open arms and taken the time to show us around the property. For me, this has been one of my Top 5 US Tourist Attractions. I will miss stopping by here, but I hope Gene knows what he does and that he has a plan that will keep him busy playing with what he loves the most: customs, hot rods...and ladies If you have been dreaming about becoming the caretaker of a historic shop, you now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Click here to check out the ad.When Gene announced his new venture on Instagram, he also told us that there would be an auction where he would be selling a bunch of good stuff. "Nothing from my museum or my special tools will be available," he informed. The auction will be held on October 7, 2023, during the 16th annual Winfield-Watson Gathering car show. Check out the flyer below, and let us know if you went and were able to buy some goodies!Enjoy the rest of the newsletter, and have a great weekend!Best Regards,Sondre KviptKustomrama Editor
  6. Nice little package from Drag City . 32 R up-top. 2 57 T Bird roofs (1 with the porthole and 1 without). 3 Teardrop hoods , 1 for the T Bird, 1 for the 57 Ford and 1 for the 55 Ford. Thanks Ed.
  7. I picked up some Lime Line aways back but haven't tried it yet. I found by watching some videos from Little Daddy Roth painting videos. The main reason I bought it was it came in 1/16 inch and bends real well. Just waiting for a project to try it on, maybe for the stripes on one of my future Cobra builds. Check out some of the videos on youtube from Little Daddy Roth. They also have metal flake and other paint products but the flake looks out of scale for our use.
  8. Very nice, ordered one of each
  9. I use acrylics mostly and put them in a dehydrator to speed up drying. I found out that if you put painted parts that have tape on them it will leave a sticky residue on them. Not sure if this applies to all tapes but now no taped parts go in the dehydrator.
  10. I would buy a couple
  11. I use 3M blue vinyl tape 471 for the edges and Tamiya to cover the rest. I aways put a light coat of clear along the edge to seal it. The 3M comes in many widths and curves well
  12. I was just asking. Not sure if I ever will be using that part of the Trans-kit. I mostly bought it for the engine for a Cobra
  13. There is that. I have a whole mess of Cobras to put in a snake pit, I will see what happens after that. I have enough Mustangs to fill a corral trying not to add too many more. LOL
  14. I have a 68 but no 67. From what I have found so far the hood and headlights are whets different. Hopefully one of our Mustang Experts will chime in. I did get the Trans Kit and engine today, looks great.
  15. What is the odds of this fitting a 68 GT500?
  16. both. top is home made bottom is store bought
  17. Out with the old (not me) in with the new
  18. Finally found a email that worked. My order went thru . YEEHA
  19. could probably get by with valve covers and intake/carbs and air cleaner
  20. I know I just bought 2 of them but would like the dual 4's. It would nice to find a 289 with dual 4's or webers
  21. ok I was thinking about one of my Cobra builds.
