  1. Looking REALLY good. Before you get to far on the body, cut off the lower part of the front fenders. If you want the front valance, get one from an AMT 57, it is closer to correct. The valance is one piece and attached to the fender and that lower area is not part of the fender. Sand the lower header panel to raise the grill, it is about a scale inch too low. Revell really dropped the ball on accuracy on their 57 Ford kits. They need A LOT of work to be made correct.
  2. I'd buy these by the case. Unless of course it was screwed it up like a few other kits I have bought
  3. Lookin really good!!
  4. I'd be interested in a 73 body, hood, bumpers and glass if ya want do some trading
  5. No, you cannot fix that, it is beyond repair. You should just mail it to me so it is not cluttering your space. LOL
  6. Not sure I would try a 73 Sport as the fronts are different between the 73 and 74-76's. Another issue I found once the S&H car was in my hands is the upper body line on the door is too soft and needs careful sanding. The tail light bezel is a poor fit and need to be more flush all around. If you use the S&H engine block and Monogram Nascar 351 cylinder heads, intake and valve covers it makes a convincing Cleveland or 351M/400. If going stock, a modified intake from an AMT Ford FE. The Fire Fighter Mustang has stock style 351 Cleveland valve covers
  7. I am pretty sure I mailed one of these to you last year when I found them on clearance up here.
  8. Have a link to your work on it? Would like to see what you are addressing. I have recently started fighting this kit also.

    Ooooo..... Good choice
  10. Looks Great
  11. Looks Great! Is that an Ohio Car? LOL!!
  12. Looks good. Musta got a bad one. I have a few and went together smooth as silk
  13. Yea, I know that is your style and I utterly respect and admire your builds and look forward to them. Wish I had the time to finish a few.
  14. I used red oxide then gray primer, no issues other than the kit itself
  15. Ya did a great job on it. That butchered roof is a tough fix. Still trying to figure out how to unbutcher it. The windshield may not be tough, but those 1/4 windows will be tough. Probably get a stock one and do my own chop.
  16. Looks great! Building one now from the current release. The infamous Unibody 32 Ford. Hahahaha
  17. I agree..... oddly cool also
  18. I used to do the same thing, As your parts stash grows and you see what others do, you will figure it out.
  19. I love digging thru old parts!!! Always think "wow, I forgot about this" You are doing a great job on this kit I agree with espo, the rear looks upside down to me also
  20. Very cool. Great start on it Also saw that rendering and thought about this build. I like the rear spoiler, but the top is on backwards. Angled part should be to the rear (FYI)
  21. Very cool concept even though the big wheels are not my cup of tea either. Keep up the good work
  22. I have most of the Revell parts pack engines. Multiples of the 427. My only gripe is the 427's valve covers. I need to get a resin casting kit and make some better ones. The old AMT 64 Ford and the 66 Fairlane 427 have much better covers. Other than that, I really like the ones I have built
  23. I am workin on one finally. Trying to correct some of it, some I need to ignore because I do not want to get in too deep. Hope to get pics posted when done, can't do a WIP, cuz I am am too slow.
  24. I almost got bit like that, hit the "buy it now" on a few items. Saw invoice and said the same. Sent a message to seller asking for an updated shipping (his listing said he combined) No response from him so I did not finish transaction.
