Thank you all for the kind words.

I just ordered one from MEGAHobby for $64.94 with shipping. I tried to get two but got an alert message that said they did not have the inventory. I wanted one really bad but was having heartburn over the $100+ prices from scalpers on ebay.

Thank you gentlemen.

White! I did my 73 disguised as a 71 in white.

That turned out SWEET!!!

I am with Steve and Tom here. Kits of new subjects would be awesome. The fact that this hobby has survived from toys for kids in the 60's to multiple subjects for adults today is amazing in itself. The volumes required to satisfy a profitable business is the biggest challenge for kit makers. I like that they do various options on many kits as it motivates many of us to purchase them more than once.

"Basement" that's funny. Actually the Mustang on the left just got photographed today.

Here is a link to the finished product.

It is finally finished. I took my diorama outside to take advantage of using sunlight for pics. I was very patient with assembly so it came out pretty well. This was my very first time I fabricated aluminum hoops for the rims. I would like to thank Bob Hall for some parts donations and Steve G. for his amazing examples of what is possible if you try. Below is the link to the WIP. Comments welcome. ? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156212-1969-boss-429/

I like it. Great job.

DITTO THAT!

To help make decals work better do these things. Add one drop of dish soap to the puddle of water you soak your decal in. It will give you much more time to slide it around into perfect alignment. Use white vinegar and a cotton swap to clean and wet the surface of the model just before you place it. Use the same swab to gently push it around. Use the dry end to gently wick up the moisture from the decal once placed.

Well done!

Very nice. I like the color. I just finished a 69 Boss 429.

Nice builds. Where did you get the rear wings for the Goats?

DANG!!!!! If any of those were photographed in a scale setting with as much realism as Steve's models you could fool a lot of people into believing they are the genuine article!

I have the 2011 reissue of the plated Texaco tanker. I trade off the Texaco decal set for an AMOCO decal set. It is waiting for my skillset to get better so I can make a decked out "Bling" truck paired with the Australian KW in Testors Start Spangled Blue lacquer.

Very nice result. I bought a set of Hurst Olds decals many moons ago to do a 74 Cutlass H/O. I really need to get one of these.

Very nicely done. I need to add that kit to my wishlist.

Nice job! I am hankering to get the 64 Galaxie Cal racing Combo and do a Thunderbolt instead of the AWB Falcon on the trailer.

My 6-32 mounting hardware came in so I spent the afternoon building the ceiling with the LED light fixtures. I soldered every connection to prevent issues.

My Boss 351 got some new shoes yesterday. I spent 4 hours on my mini-lathe and made a pair of custom rear hoops to seriously upgrade the rear tires. I am quite pleased how they "turned" out.

Made another pair of hoops to upgrade my 1973 Mustang BOSS 351.

ooooh! I like that! Do you have a WIP link?

Well done. I would be proud to add it to my display case.
