55 sedan delivery! Built in July 2003

Hey Greg the calipers and rotors are from Future Attraction Yes! rotors are photo etched cool stuff!!

Well, I found a way to install a sway bar for the lower 'A' arms, but if it has the slightest chance of wrecking this,...then maybe not?? Getting a little crazy but I do like the challenge. Estimated 40+hours into this. double posted photo's, one to many "clicks" Thanks for the kind words L

Francis, keep on machining your stuff, your right I bet that is half the fun on this build!!! That's a challenge all in its self!! GREAT STUFF!!

updated photos of mustang II clip

Hey 89 AKurt This kicked the heck out of me, combining all the parts!! Tried to simulate photo's on line. A little bit of a challenge. This is the last of R&D Unique in my parts box (darn), The lead is so soft (good from far) If any one is 3D printing or Resin casting this stuff, let me know!!

Mustang II rack and pinion 95% complete! THAT WAS A CHALLENGE!!! Yikes!! Combination of R&D Unique, RB Motion, Model Car Garage, Future Attraction and scratch build the rack and pinion. Colour,... House of Kolor - Hot Pink Pearl.

This work is pure "Jewelry" !! To pre-plan, work on a vision, expect precision, create the illusion and paint beyond expectation,..... yup said it all !!!! Complete art!!!! Thanks Clay !! crazy,...... crazy,.....WOW!! Lorne

Very Cool !!! Just need a sandwich on the dash and a Hot Rod Magazine!! totally real!!!!

Hey Francis Thanks for keeping this hobby going! It's great to see a builders vision. Better yet, showing the potential !!! Western Canuck

Hey Francis I have been following this build! Dude how in the H, E, DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS do you fab this stuff? Drawings? Micro measurements? Reduction wheel from original schematics?,.... no idea? i can see getting one side of,... example engine head but to mirror image it,... i don't get it??!! In styrene I would have a pile of mistakes a foot high. So to machine this, where do you start?? Oh, and thanks for the kind words on my stuff! Let us not compare!! Western Canuck Lorne

test fit and test fit again

Working on the front suspension. All parts have been test fitted. Painting the Mustang II front suspension soon. Needed to assemble it all with tires and rims to get the proper width under the truck. Here is the steering link so far!

Hey John Met you a while back at a GSL show! You and Clay Kemp keep me building!!! A HUGE inspiration to me!!! Thank you!!! Can't wait for this project to start!! Keep us posted!!! Thanks Lorne

Thanks all for the kind words. Every project you complete you learn something new and develop new idea's and skills. This Forum proves that!! The truck was a real head scratcher. Shelved many times! But learned a ton from that project. Now if I could only build like Clay Kemp,.....that's my motivation!! 1st photo taken, kinda thinkin it might come together??? Keep this great hobby going!!!

Wow! Thanks Francis! Its a hobby, its a passion, its an illusion, its a dream!!! like most of us, we build to satisfy something "we all wish" was in the driveway! Kinda Gear Heads is scale?? Thank you so much for appreciating my dream ride!!! Thanks Maple Leaf!! L

Latest stuff on the truck. shortened the box by 3 scale inches. Looks a little more hot rod

Hey, 66belair Thank you for the kind words!! It was a labour of love! Shelved many times, but didn't beat me!! Thanks again 66 belair!!

The stance and the wheels are good to go!! Big Block just fits. Tubbed the stepside box. Colour so far thinking,.... Hot Magenta?? Gotta be a candy colour of some kind??

Rear tires were a labour of love! I cut a Pegasus tire in half then added two rubber washers ( a little larger) then sanded them down and super glued (black rubber cement) them together. The rim is from our good friend "Dancing Bear"!! I contacted him through Face Book and he spun me some rims to match the tire width. Get this,... he spun down the Pegasus rims and made them to fit the "sleeves" very cool !!! Dancing Bear has amazing wheels for purchase - CHECK IT OUT!!

Thanks for that Pete J. I will search out Easy Chrome!! Your right gotta start experimenting with different products

Thank you peteski for the reply!! This is an art and a necessity that 1:1 scale users and the hobby folk need! God-Dog-it!!! Automotive 1:1, Scale Auto, Antique, Memorabilia and the list goes on,.... petski?, .... sounds like a business to get into?? "IF" the dollar could prevail she is a no brainer!! Is there anyone,... OUT THERE??

All my research has shown, 2 well respected "chrome" facilitators are left to assist us in our hobby??!! THANK YOU for hanging in there to make our modelling illusions come to life!! For those of us who haven't been able to simulate the shine we desire ,....again THANK YOU for allowing us to send the part(s) we need to make our project(s) better than our last build! I recently purchased forks, spoons and knives for a simple picnic with my family, YUP!! the chrome (on plastic tableware) was PERFECT!!! What are my thoughts???,.....Man-o-Man, you imagine if they would give us the "formula" to achieve "their perfect chrome"!!!??? we would all take our illusions to the next level !!!! Yes!, persistence will pay off but,.....PLEASE "plastic chrome" companies,.... WHAT IS YOUR SECRET????? Just saying,....?
