That is extremely well done, and I'm sure your client is more than satisfied!

From what I've personally experienced and read others' comments in this thread, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON GREEN FROG MASKING TAPE!

I give up. What is Ollie's? Never heard of them where I live (Florida).

Very nice work on a rather obscure car...I'm not sure I'd go with white plug wires...

Very nice work. As a suggestion, use longer pins on the driver's headrest and raise it up a tad for that extra touch of realism. I did that on an '85 SVO

Well gee, how about you post the link for those of us that don't have it?

Go to a hobby shop that has R/C aircraft. Tubing is used for fuel lines.

Nice job on the tires. You also did well on the red letters on the hubcaps. Did you use (sorry, and not to be condescending) the kids' water paints for that? You paint the color on (a bit on the thick side) and when it dries, use a moistened piece of stiff paper (such as a business card) to wipe off enay errant paint. This technique also works well for using black-wash on grills.

My understanding is the Mustang was introduced in '64 and carried a model-year/title of '65. That pretty much rules out an "early 60's" model.

Very well done! I especially like the tint at the top of the windshield.

Very nice job of weathering the body. Do you plan on making the rims/tires, bumpers, etc. a little more beat up?

I do the pinning thing too, but I use styrene rod (available in very small diameters) instead of a metallic pin. Pin the part (mirror, etc.) using CA or solvent-based cement and paint it if need be; after the body is painted, drill a hole for the pin, put a dab of medium CA in/around the hole, and attach the part. The medium CA allows you a brief "work time" to ensure the positioning is correct.

You posted pics with one and two of the over-sized carbs; if you're looking for input, maybe two pics showing one kit carb , the two kit carbs might help. Funny, you're doing a '57 and a friend of mine in Chicago owned a 1:1 '56 Crown Vic (according to the VIN, it was the last production Vic). He ended up putting a "cammer" in it and the car was absolutely awesome!

I can't see them either.

Nice work! Too bad about the trailer. I have a silly question: shouldn't the steering wheel be on the right hand side of the boat? I can't recall ever seeing the wheel on the left side (maybe it's that way in England).

Gun Blue is another term for the surface of a firearm. Go to a place that sells firearms and you'll "Re-Bluing" products.

You actually have an ebay profile with the name "stupid"?

I agree. The wheels on the box art almost look like they're chrome...tacky

I've never tried it, but Russell C and Snake45 have. I'm just exploring possible uses.

Actually, there might be a use for that if you want to prevent scratching, provide a cushion, simulate padding on a roll bar...food for thought.

Very nicely done, sir. I like the way you put the white stripe on the wheel covers, then highlighted the bow tie emblems (not too many people notice that). If you're going to be doing some more '55s, consider carefully sanding off the backside of the grille with a Dremel/sanding drum combo to open it up. I did that on my '55...the tongue depressor is used merely to show that the grille is open. Just a thought...

Is that the 60 year old paint gun?

First of all, very nice job on the model; I especially like the windshield washer reservoir with fluid in it. If you use the shanks on drill bits, you have a wide variety of diameters.

I agree. I'll right-click and copy the image, open MS-Paint and paste the image. This allows me to circle the area(s) I'm pointing out, then I paste that modified image into my reply. I'll only do that once, even if the OP has posted multiple, slightly varied images...hence the original title of my post.

Empty beverage cans are made from aluminum and can be cut with scissors (but not your wife's sewing scissors). Why not make make your own wing?
