  1. Love it !! I remember going to the drag strip in Greer, SC and seeing a very similar Pinto wagon with a SBF and a Lenco.
  2. Welcome Ace, a Ford guy and likes drag racing ! Glad to have a like-minded member.
  3. I'd see how hard it is to pull one of the plug wires out of the head before I made that decision. There might be enough room to re-position the wires over the valve covers and hide the excess under the air cleaner. Any time I am doing something new, I Google pictures to see how it was from the factory.
  4. usually on a SBF, the spark plug wires run over the valve covers
  5. Great looking Mustangs !
  6. Createx Wicked Colors Flair Silver Spectrum
  7. For the magnesium finish I started with Tamiya XF-24 and added a little silver, a little gold, a little green, until it looked right to me. If you look at vintage photos of magnesium parts, there are many shades. I was going after a Dow #7 look.
  8. Yeah, these cars changed constantly to keep up with the competition, you kinda have to pick a time and base your model on that period.
  9. I used the body from the AMT 67 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT kit, the chassis from the Polar Lights Hawaiian funny car and the 427 SOHC from Texas 3D Customs
  10. I added a Gofer 427 Ford, Speed City Resin wheels, slicks and seats. Painted Tamiya TS-20. Now I am going to build a matching 67 F350 ramptruch to haul it.
  11. The quarter windows on 69-70 fastbacks don't roll down,but they do flip out.
  12. Wes's Model Car Corner is good to mail order from, they also have a retail store in Blountville, TN. Very good to deal with
  13. Thanks for the kind words guys, I should have cleaned some of the fingerprints off before pictures.
  14. built box stock, painted stripes except rocker stripes are decals.
  15. snuggles in there pretty nice in a 1:1, Sonic Blue also.
  16. Some of the outlaw racers call the front end extensions "Pecker Extenders" Very nice detail, the only thing is a Pro Mod would not have a belt-driven water pump. Most blown Pro Mods would have the fuel pump mounted there.
