  1. Your black and chrome pieces are for the 73 Cougar FYI
  2. This is becoming quite impressive!
  3. They should be using the Tesla semi to haul them.... jus' sayin'
  4. Looks great!!!!! Just got one myself!
  5. Been working on a kit off and on, keeps going on hold because I was unable to decide on a wheel/tire combo. Anyone have the Resto Rod wheels from the '66 Nova or '66 Galaxie? PM please. Thanks Andy
  6. Looks really good. I have one but have not tackled it yet.
  7. I bought myself a resin casting kit to do some small parts like valve covers and other things I can do with a single mold cast. My question is can I do a single mold cast of a set of wheels that are flat on the back?

    Sending you a PM
  9. That is one good looking Talledega build
  10. The '63 looks to be a 427 car also!!!!
  11. a few years ago I was looking thru Ebay listings and found a 66 Mustang and 66 Galaxie kit for a cheap starting bid. There was one pic with the listing showing 2 partial builds in a box and all you saw was the tops (hood, roof, trunk) that's it. I put in a bid upon noticing it was not a 66 Galaxie, it was a 68. My opening bid won and I received 2 fairly complete kits. Galaxie was all there, light gluing and no paint on anything but the custom seats were in it and stock seats/console was not included. I started a build and put it away for lack of seats. Low-and-behold I was looking at ebay last week and found a set of 1969 Galaxie seats. Looked at my 69 kit and they are molded in... Hmmmmm, well, needless to say, the seller listed '68 seats as '69's and had a low "buy it now" I got them!!!!!!! . And I found this at a flea market this weekend
  12. What a waste!!!!!
  13. The blue can looking thing on front is supposed to be a distributor. Common placement on a supercharged Cammer.
  14. Nice Cuda and use of extra parts. Ironically I am painting something that same color(seriously just masked some off)
  15. Cool... Looks like something you'd see cruising in the 70's
  16. That chassis has given me fits also. As for the engine it is supposed to be a ford 427 SOHC but the timing cover, intake and valve covers are wrong. Kind of a caricature of an SOHC to avoid licencing. The only thing wrong up-top of the valve covers is the plug locations are in the wrong locations, the bottom of them are just bit of a mess. That being said, Dave is doing a really nice job of getting this thing looking good and my comments do not reflect on anything he has done.
  17. Looks cool. Trim that left header flange to... LOL
  18. I do not have back stories per say but have many things that influence or lead me in a direction. Pictures I see, hot wheels, even others builds will give me ideas. I know if it is a subject I am not familiar with I will do some research to be sure what I am doing is correct.
  19. Updated photo of available parts. I'm not really looking for anything, just trying to help out if anyone needs or wants. Everything remaining is Revell.
  20. Glad to help. Yes, you are correct on the AMT and MPC differences. Try repairing the hoods you have, it's not that tough. A lot of info on the "tips" page.
  21. I will update the photo after I pull the parts Keef wants.
