Nahhhh.......... Just a different outlook on the same car. Mines more "off the showroom floor" Yours is more of a Modded car. I really like your vision of the car.

Ohhhhh..... 1950 ford will be coming home... Cannot have too many shoebox Fords. Now, if I were to hear the 62, 64 or 67 Galaxies to return, I'd do a happy dance.

Off the hook! Man, that paint is spectacular!

Awesome to see another Mustang II Shelby... Great looking build!!! My take on one.

Looks great. always thought of getting one of these, but pricey now. You are lucky, my cat takes my tires for toys all the time.

Very nice. Have built a bunch of these and still enjoy them. May not be the most detailed Mustang kit, but builds up and looks nice on the shelf

Between the VW, Pacer, and Fiat.... we can have a ball

Really cool looking ride. The hood hinge has me puzzled

Working on one of these now. I partially filled that line on the trunk above the lights so it was not so prominent. Looks really good. A LOT of BMF on these!!!!

Bout as round as it gets

Makes me want to just stop building. The attention to detail is amazing.

Very cool build. Wanting to build the same car so I am watching this one

One of the Tom Daniels kits (I believe it was called the Rattler) had a Pontiac OHV straight 6. The MPC Firebird had one also. MPC Pintos had 2.3 4 cylinders. The Mustang II (AMT and MPC) had 2.8 V6's along with the Ranger kits with 2.9's. Do not leave out the AMT 51 and 37 Chevies with their Stovebolts. AMT had a 6 cylinder in their 76 Pacer. AMT 41 Plymouth has a flathead 6.

I may need one. Thanks for the info.

Kevin, Check BillyGooche on the bay. She reproduces a lot of vintage decals.

The kit is not based on any real car, therefor, do what you please. Great color, not the normal red many are built with. Now you need the old 65 Galaxie decals, "Jolly Green Gasser"

No, it is rear wheel drive. Just the wheels the builder used probably.

Two and four door sedans in the Fairlane series had a wrap around rear window

I'm following also! Great looking build. As an FYI if you want to go a step further, the Galaxie line was offered in a 2 door sedan. The Custom series had a different roof line though.

I'll take both!!! The turbine can be a curbside, I want to build this!!!!

Lookin good

What ever you want the color to be. Dark blue would be my suggestion with silver (aluminum) heads

I am corrected, 40 years. My math was off, or I am senile. As for stock, yes, with a lot of scratch work. someone did one that is supposed to be offered in Resin.

I just bought this kit and am going to share my thoughts on it. It is a re release of a 30 year old kit, so there will be no pointing out inaccuracies like saying its a Laguna, not a Chevelle.... All Lagunas were Chevelles, but not all Chevelles were Lagunas. Get it? The kit is molded in blue and black, and very nicely also. Flash is minimal and the blue body could be buffed and look as good as paint. The body is clean and straight with no twist or warpage. There is a minor sink mark only on the drivers side front fender, but is so minimal, could be wet sanded out. The proportions and overall shape look good, but the roof looks a bit low. Then again, it is a race car. The chassis is in an interesting piece since it is two pieces. Where the chassis is joined together, there are 2 pins on the front section, but 3 holes on the rear. I believe this was done to change the wheelbase for other bodies. Pretty good thinking on MPC's part in the day. The rear suspension is leaf springs which would be incorrect for this car and era. The front suspension is a Ford design. The entire chassis is pretty basic, but then again, in those days they were not overly technical like today. I does represent an older Nascar set up though. The interior is pretty sparse and basic, just like the cars of the day. The dash could use better detail, but with some detailing would be very acceptable. The wheels and tires consist of a set of 10 hole Nascar style wheels, but are definitely not deep enough. The tires are the smaller style Good Year Blue Streek Stock Car Specials. These are also not quite large enough. The engine is a very unique piece. Lil bit of Ford and Chevy. The starter is on the right side, oil pan sump in the rear, distributor in the front, water neck on right side, water pump inlet on left side, generic cylinder heads and BBC valve covers (2 sets) Round 2 has retooled the cage and window net to make the net separate, but have also included the original pieces. Decals are very nice, so nice that I believe this will be a box build. My overall thought on this kit is: I really like it, yea, not perfect but I am sure it will build up nicely. I will probably source out wheels, tires, and engine from a newer AMT Nascar kit and maybe a dash from a Monogram, but that's it. I am sure the coil suspension from the AMT kit could be retrofitted to the older chassis also. I am looking forward to building this in the near future and I recommend it to anybody that likes stock car builds. (I will try to post some pics soon)

My favorites: 66 Country Squire, 72 Ranchero, 71 Mustang, and the 73 Falcon Coupe
