Sledsel

Very nice, I really like the blacked out wheels and red interior. Paint is great

Was looking for something recently and decided to check Ebay since I had not bought any car stuff from there in awhile. Well, I think the sellers are on something for sure. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-1-2-1968-5-Original-Hood-Scoop-and-Hood-428-CJ-Cobra-Jet-Mustang-R-Code-/151769619093?hash=item23562c9a95&vxp=mtr

I do not have the Del Rio in hand yet, but have a donor AMT 57 Fairlane to correct the body and the scale to the Revell 57 is really close, therefore the Edsel should be also. I have a set of 58 Edsel wagon tail light bezels and lenses ready.

Well, as long as I have an AMC engine in it. The body and bumpers are all that were salvageable from the original build. Had to fix all the sink marks from the glue on the body, dremel out the windshield and part of the interior tub. Thanks for all the info guys

Looking pretty cool

Looks great! Old tool or not, it is a great kit. The addition of the quarter trim really completes it.

I would not either...... I try to use as few SBC engines in kits as possible. 409 is my go to engine unless it is a mid 60's or newer car, then it is 396/454.... and they go in Chevys

I'll have to check my Matador stock car. Wonder if it is like the Pepsi Chevelle? It actually has a Ford engine...... I may end up with a Gremlin kit..... What to put in there then? Boss 429 maybe..... Thanks!

What kit has the best AMC V8? Looking for an engine for my 66 Marlin stock car build. The kit started as a glue bomb an was not salvageable, I think half a tube of glue was used on the engine alone!

Hmmm... there must be a way around the built-in exhaust because if you notice in the photo, there's a short pipe right behind the front tires... Just shave off the exhaust pipes carefully and cutout the muffler and replace with plastic sheet.Take your time and make careful cuts and it will turn out fine. exactly... I added the ribs back in the floor with plastic strips. Other than that, nice kit

Very good looking build. I have yet to finish one

Very cool looking build

Looking for the AMT Cougar Funny car

I have the Candies and Hughes kit...... Trades?

That would give you the best outcome I believe

57 and 58 could be purchased "heater delete" A Custom 300 with heater delete sold on the Barrett Jackson auction. Note, no hoses on the engine. This car was built from a very dry, no rust '57 Custom from California. The engine was taken from a complete but rusty '57 "E" Code. Every piece of it was still intact including the air cleaner and carbs. No parts were added, but totally rebuilt and restored. It has some very hard to find NOS parts such as the radio, heater and clock delete plates and the heater block-off plate.

Awesome

The mold line is actually not bad to remove. A lot of material to work with. I removed mine with really good results. Trim with a knife, sand and smooth. I went with a fine foam board, then wet sanded with 400 then 800. Try not to sand all the way to the front corner. Use ultra bright BMF on the sides, trimmed near the front corner with the line of the bumper. Then rub the heck out of the BMF with your shirt or a sock. A tiny bit of polish may help, but I I just rubbed it. Nobody will notice unless you point it out.

LOVE those Sq Birds!!!! All based on the Ford Fox platform....the Model T of the Era........I owned 2 Fairmonts, a LTDII wagon and a Mercury wagon like the LTDII......all rugged simple cars. Electronics the only sore spot......it killed my LTDII when it went down and took EFI and IGN with it. But I had paid $900 for it and we used it for 5 years trouble free......she did her job!!! I had an 83 Lincoln Versilles do the same thing as your LTDII. The throttle body FI and crank trigger was junk. I removed all of it, even the computer. Installed a carb and old Duraspark and the car never gave me another problem.

Love it. Have never built a resin kit, but looks like I have to now.

Another great build....

It sure looks nice, Cannot wait to see it done. The body looks better than than coupe. Wish they had fixed the windshield and added a flathead from another kit.tho.

Those would be optional in 57, even the heater. Sounds like Revell used the basic Fireball Roberts dash. I think the Keith Marks decals has the items you want though

Nothing new here. When Revell came out with the 49 Mercury, Round 2 reissued theirs. I was fine with AMT releasing their Merc after Revell cuz the Revell kit sucks.
