Nice details and subtle weathering. Excellent build of a classic drag kit. These old AMT AWB kits have a lot of possibilities.  Your out of the box build came out well !

Thanks Ed, we do what we must. I do not do a lot of customizing.

You see the flaws we don't, I see nice details, panels fit well, engine looks good, paint and decals are also nice.  You persevered through a difficult build, something a lot of us don't do and the important thing in my book, you finished !   Congratulations.

Thanks so much , I am s stubborn guy and at some point finish most projects but sometimes need to walk away for a period of time , and that was one.

Nice looking fastback.  That blue just pops.  Great job.

Thanks Bob. I painted the body about 2 years ago with Craft paint and was not into the color but once the decals were on , I agree it popped.

Thanks , Mike

What a cool, old-school retrostalgic build! I hope you had as much fun with it as it looks like. Model on! 

I did Rich and I remember these altered wheelbase cars back then.

I finally finished the AMT Mustang Funny Car. Very bare bones kit but built-up well in the end.

I enjoyed it ! Rate a 8 out of 10.

Nice looking Mustang Mike.  How did you make those spark plug wire boots?

Thank You Bob. It is simply Superglue and paint.  This is a pretty minimal kit , but a fun one.

Hey guys , I started this one about a year ago then put it away and finally got going again on it. Many engine add ons and not weathered yet but good start.

Body is about ready to go.

Proud or not, I think you have done some really nice work here, especially in the engine bay.  Are those resin wheels?

Thanks Mark , No , those were in the kit for the racer. I did scratch the side exhaust and roll bar.

I'm not all the familiar with these cars but I don't think I've ever seen that color before.  Nice looking and great detail work.    

Thanks Bob. The color was what I Had and brits seem to like green.
