Thank you Carl and Charlie. She's thrilled with it.

Thank you guys. It was an interesting build getting the thing apart to glue it back together correctly. I just went with my building knowledge and past mechanic experiences to put things in the correct places again.

You are right. She did try contacting me later but I just ignored her messages.

What irked me today was yesterday. A woman said she wanted to purchase a framed picture I had on Facebook Marketplace. We agreed on a price. Then she noted the distance and asked if I could meet her half way. I living in Fonda NY And her down Binghamton way. I said sure and we agreed at a McDonalds in Cobleskill, NY at 1pm today. The red flag should have been I gave her my cell phone in case anything happened but she didn't offer hers. OK. Maybe a single woman being careful. Or an older woman according to her facebook photo. I got to McDonalds at 12:40 and left at 1:27. No show and no call. So when I get home I go to the messages between her and I And sent Scumbag to her. She immediately erased the messages and then my phone cell phone rang. I ignored it. She is blocked on facebook so she can not see me or anything I put on Market place. And I'm looking for a "blocker" to put on my cell phone that doesn't want access to everything on it. Like why would a blocking app want access to my phone book and my photos, along with my buying habits. Not that it makes much difference as I buy nothing with my cell. Any suggestion?They are everywhere.

Beautiful build.

Thank you. Yes it is. The instructions were not In the box but a little Monogram flyer booklet advertising their other kits had a print date of 1966.

Thank you Al, Lee, Ray and David. The blue is the molded color. I was able to get the glue off without much trouble. And then coated it with Pledge. I just thought I should add a tail pipe. LOL!

Thank you Al, Rex and Michele. The big kit is compete Rex. But the windshield posts are broken at the bottom. I figured I could still piece it together if I decide to keep it. Heather, the woman I bought this stuff from. Is thrilled and is going to drive her Shelby to meet me so I can give my Shelby to her. I'm so happy she wants it. She wanted something like $15 for everything but she was so nice. I gave her quite a bit more. Recently divorced. I didn't want to take advantage of her. She did have a 1965 Mustang that had been up on blocks in a dry garage for 30 years. Body and frame had no rust at all. 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual. I should have grabbed it. But she sold it to a friend of hers for $1500. I hesitated when I shouldn't have. And I was going to offer her more as she had no idea what it was really worth. She also has her mom's 1975 plain Jane Camaro. Never saw rain or snow. That too is a 6 cilynder with a manual 3 speed. I tried to get that but she's not ready to sell.

A friend picked this up at an estate sale. A lot of glue. Parts glued in the wrong places. I decided to just clean it up and I liked the color. Painted the interior and top tan as I thought it looked better than white.

A month or so ago I met up with a woman who was selling a few model car kits. She and her ex husband both own Shelby Cobras. She actually took me to show them to me. Her’s was a 1968 and his I think a 1969 or 70. When met to exchange money. One model was of a cobra she had done years ago. Brush painted. Parts glued in the wrong places. You can see it in the last photo. I told her I was going to rebuild it for her and try and duplicate her Cobra. Here is the end result. I had bought the white GT 500 stripes but when I went to put them on. They fell apart. I just have no luck with decals.
