Francis, I've been MIA on the forum for a bit. I just got caught up with all the progress on your build and have to say your workmanship continues without missing a beat. Being able to maintain the level of quality and detail over a period of time as you have is impressive by itself. Glen Powers

Just received an order from Ron, very good quality and excellent customer service. Glen

Mike I purchased my Grex airbrush when it first came out and they recommended the size 3 to me. I use it for all my painting using both the standard and fan cap. I would imagine that either size could be made to work and you could also contact them to get their input. Good luck Glen

Mike, I have the Grex TG3 and the fan spray cap and love it. This is a high quality product and no doubt you would be happy with it. Glen

Jim, thanks so much for the kind words Glen Ron, all the gauge faces are Slixx decals (except the factory speedo/tach which is a kit decal). The tach was from a Revell pro stock/mod kit. I sanded the face smooth added the decal and the bezel is a slice of 7/32" alum. tubing. The rest of the gauges are on a small piece of styrene sheet and those bezels are from 5/32" alum. tubing. Glen

Claude, you did a great job capturing this era on this build! I remember going to Connecticut and New England Dragway to see the funny car and pro stock match races and feel fortunate that I did. Todays pro racing has zero appeal to me but congrats to you on another fine build. Glen

Ron and Ray, sorry I did not thank you both sooner. Glen

Marcos, just an awesome job putting in the details you have done on this build!!!!!!!! Glen

OMG Francis a 1/25th scale fuse block!!!!! This build has to be hands down the most engineered and micro detailed one pretty much ever. Glen

To Rick, Larry D., Dennis, Barry, Larry C., Joe, Francis, and Ron, Thanks for taking the time to look it over and respond I very much appreciate it. Ron: that's a Rochester 4GC, it's an old resin item that I "believe" came from Best Model Car Parts. I was going for a 64/65 327 look. Wish Fireball did one of those!! Thank again, Glen

Tom, your 100% correct about resin often times being a gamble but honestly that front clip looks very rough and you were wise not to use it. Thanks for the feedback and also the engine looks great! Thanks, Glen

This is an older build and since it's snowing again I figured I'd post it on here. AMT kit, Tamiya paints, and Slixx decals. Scratch built items were limited to headers, roll cage, fuel pressure sender, motor plate and some misc. small stuff. Fire away if you have any questions or comments. Thanks, Glen

Tom, great start to what I'm sure will be a nice build of an interesting subject. In regards to the SMH chassis, since you only used the back half how would you rate the overall quality and would you use one again? I've looked at them online and think it would be a time/work saver but never have seen any reviews. Thanks, Glen

Marcos, to finish a build this nice from a vintage AMT kit says a lot about your talent. Great job!!!!!! Glen

Well Francis imagine my surprise that your background was not as a master Swiss watchmaker!!!!!!?. Just out of this world what you are doing with this build. Glen

Tom, congrats on a very clean and accurate build. Glen

Mike once again the only thing that comes to mind is outstanding craftsmanship! Glen

Actually Ron they do not have chutes when they leave the COPO build center, but are added to the Factory Showdown cars as their MPH is over 150. It would not be required for the class claimed on this model. Decals are from Slixx. Take care and merry Xmas. Glen

Joe, thanks very much Ron, thanks to you also. Glen

Marcos, great job on an iconic car. Glen

OK boys and girls this is what a labor of love looks like. Nice job Joe. Glen

Roger , thanks a lot and boy I wish we could! Glen

Tom, take a look at Morse Cutting Tools 18106. They are industrial quality made in USA. Glen

Thanks to Anthony, Pete, Larry, and Anton glad to hear you liked it. Larry those wheels can be found in the Warren Johnson & Larry Morgan Pro Stock Olds kits. On the rear wheels I added some Tichy Train nut/bolt pieces as the lug nut detail is faint. Glen

Mike that's a fleet of good looking Fords!
