Salut Pierre! Was great to meet you yesterday at the Trois-Rivières show. I repeat what I told you: this build is world-class, original, and begs to land on contest tables! Enjoy your vacation, and I look forward to meet you at shows this coming fall! CT

Thanks Billy! You are right, and the fact that designer Jack Telnack and his crew transformed the squarish Fox cars (Fairmount & al) into the smooth Aerobirds using the same platform (and slightly modified cowl) is a testament to their talent! CT

Thank you Oliver! CT

Thank you Bruce! I had to come up with a scratchbuilt plenum/manifold/injector rails, because a big engine like the Boss 429 hardly cleared the stock hood. Of course, the pro-stock had a huge scoop to clear the carbs, but a lower OEM hood is soooooooo low...LOL. CT

Hi Steve! Thank you for the comments. I saw that Mark indicated he would contact you, so go at it! I'm certain you'll do some world-class work! CT

Thank you Phil! Happy you like it. CT

Thank you Steve! I had an 85 Turbo-Coupe, and I LOVED it! Traded it for an 87 Merkur XR4Ti, which had the same engine and tranny, but a more agile chassis with an IRS. Loved it also, and traded it for an 88 XR4Ti... great souvenirs! A few years later, I bought back the 87 from a friend who had it since I traded it. My wife drove it for years, and then my oldest daughter. CT

for great artists

Thanks Bob! I always try to "color-coordinate" my subjects. I try to abide by the "never exceed 3 colors on a model" unwriten rule that was once explained to me by a car designer. Oh well... CT

Hi Mathias! Very nice model. I love the color. This Mustang body style is the one which responds the best to the "wide-body" conversion. Bravo! CT
