Thanks Mario. ?

Thanks Brandon.

Thanks Chad. The boots are the insulation stripped from some telephone wire. Just the right size to fit over the plug wire I use.

Thanks Greg. I just went about it like it was a full size car and grafter in the openings from another car.

Thanks James.

Thanks rex, I had a feeling you'd like this one. ?

Steve, any word on the retooled '65/'66 Mustang fastback?

I see a lot of people wanting a "2 in" kit with both '71 and '72 parts. Front bumper/grille , back bumper and tail lights. Just want to point out, and it wouldn't really be a big deal but the pan under the rear bumper is different between '71 and '72 also. Don't know if anyone caught that or not.

Always wanted an AMT '70 annual but they're bloody expensive, if you can find one. Lucked into this one in a trade with a great fellow builder [Mike Mackie AKA mk11] who took pity on me. LOL Pretty rough to start with. Hogged out wheel wells and missing a lot of parts. I used some parts from an MPC '70 and a Monogram 1/24 '70 and, most importantly, a resin front bumper front bumper from Ragtop Man. [Thanks again Bob] and the loan of a grille from Kelson [Thanks Curtis] So, here's a couple "before" pics,, , , And a year later , ,

Getting pretty close now. The chassis is attached to the rest of the car. The rad is in. It's the one from the Monogram 1/24 kit. The bumpers are back from LMKC and detailed. The headlights are the custom driving lights from the MPC/AMT '69 kit with lenses from the parts box. The center panel between the tail lights was a bit damaged from having a drag shute glued to it but the black paint makes it less noticeable. The paint bottle is holding the back of the body tight to the chassis plate until the glue fully dries.

I wonder how close it was to the actual E.V.H. truck. I understand he never drove it, just let it sit in his driveway gathering dust when he owned it.

Cool. I did one like that almost 20 years ago. Something wierd went on with the nail polish I painted it with a few months after I finished it though so it's not been seen much.

Thought this might come in handy for identifying stray kit automatic transmissions.
