    Very cool idea and nice work ! Did any of the cars of this type have a soft top for the driver, or did Alfred have to get wet ?

    Just finished up these Motorcraft racecars. These are the only three cars I could find Motorcraft decals for, does anyone know of some for 04-06 GT ? The decals are from Indycals.

    some of the differences are passenger seat is non-adjustable, carpet only cover bottom of floors, inside of rockers that carpet normally covers is covered in vinyl, the front of hood above the little vents beside the headlights isn't rolled under like later hoods. it sticks down about 3/8" of so. I'm sure there are other little details i've forgotten. Also most cars won't have all the 64.5 details, the later in production as they ran out of parts, 65 parts were used.

    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.

    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.

    usually on a SBF, the spark plug wires run over the valve covers

    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.

    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.

    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
