I'm building three different versions of my 1:1 1968 Fairlane 500. This one represents what it would of looked like when it was new. The first photo is what it looked like in 1982 shortly after I got it. The next one is a random photo I found online. The body is from Modelhaus and the chassis is an AMT '66 Fairlane. The vinyl top is going to be a challenge!
I have quite a bit of reference material for the AFX Mustangs. Here's the H&M magazine article...........

I use this site to make license plates, then print them off on photo paper and glue them on with Elmers.

I found one episode of Dan August with the blue Quarterhorse in it. For some reason, it has a red standard Shelby hood on it with what looks like a 65 GT350 scoop riveted on. It also has a non-Shelby rollbar in it.
Very impressive stable! I have a similar affliction, except it's 68-69 Fairlane/Torinos. I have about 30 so far.
Here's a couple of 71s I want to do.......
There wasn't a F250 regular cab short box, so there's no chance of a Lightning having a F250 frame. Also, the Lightning used an 8.8" axle, and the F250 used a 10.25" axle. And the Lightning engine had unique GT40 heads and intake.
I have a bunch of WIPs that have been sitting for years.
I have a Calypso Coral (Competition Orange) '69 Cougar that I am planning to convert to Fast Eddies 1970 drag car.
As rare as it, I have some problems with it. The rear wheel openings are too big, the convertible top is too short, and the quarter panel vent is oversized! Other than that, it's a great kit!
I might chop the roof of off this one and make a ragtop!
