El Caballo

Even though it is “done”, I still have some details to take care of, but here it is, my 1968 Mustang CJ Tasca drag car.

Sorry for the late response, yes, it is that kit.

Yes, I did a search. I have the AMT Street Rods issue of the 1963 Corvette and I want to build the drag version and I want to know if anyone else has built that version. In the instructions they mention having to “enlarge” the wheel openings to fit the slicks, which to me means doing a radius of the wheel opening. However I saw the picture here and it makes me wonder if that is even remotely necessary. What I want to avoid is making a model that looks like the wheels don’t fit, I’ll never be satisfied with it, and will thus be driven mad until I change it or blow it to smithereens.

Fun build to watch.

Great build so far.

Pretty much why I am doing it the way I am, once bit twice shy.

Very nice.

Nice, looking forward to seeing it done.

Best Mercedes Benz I had was a 1970 280S, worst was a 1988 260E, my 280 got stolen and one of the happiest days I had was when I took the license plates off the 260.

My factory drag car in progress.

Sweet custom with great chassis detail.

Jo-Han made such great kits, I wish they were still producing.

Wow, that's amazing, never saw one of those back in the day, lots of coupes with vinyl tops, but never a RR.

Dog dish wheels look so right on those cars.

A-Body on '32-rails, always a great combination.

Great interior detail!

Coming along well, can't wait to see it done.

Bitchin', I used to have a 1:1 Biscayne and did a lace job on the roof, wish I still had that one.

Coming along nicely, great car.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one done.

I had a '93 LX 5.0 5 speed notch, I miss it.

Given the fittings going to it and the location, I think it is a boost blow off valve.

Awe inspiring engine, such detail.

Awesome detailing, I love it.
