    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?
  6. Bills72sj
    Well done. I would be proud to add it to my display case.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Yes share pics of your wheel options. We will all put in our 2 cents worth to help. Though you can't go wrong with well detailed Corvette Rallys

    I would also be interested in what you learn. I have a back burner project which will require a modern roll cage in a 69 Camaro. I do have a NASCAR kit as a donor.

    They look great. Much improved. Since you have upped the detail level by adding brake lines, may I suggest you gently sand the tread on the tires to give them a more realistic look.

    I too foil decal then clear as soon as possible. Foil does not like been handled very much. Especially if it is old and the adhesive is weakening.

    I know the car is semi-famous. Do you have a pic of the engine you are looking for?

    I decided to upgrade my diorama with some LED lighting to improve my pictures of future builds. I made a quickie mock up to see how they would work. While bright enough, I learned that I need to have some of them near the front edge to make the foreground light the viewer's side of any vehicles inside.

    Yes! What everyone above said.

    I am with you brother! I avoid sanding as I always make things worse not better. I can accept some orange peel much more than sand-through and repaint. I have had pretty good results on paint directly on plastic. Molded plastic is about as smooth as it gets. It is only a bummer if there are sink holes.

    Very nice! I painted mine with the same color.

    Very nicely weathered rig.

    Very nice build and pretty color.

    Thank you very much for sharing your techniques. I will make the effort with the materials I have. I have pre-drilled the valve covers and also the heads. Mt distributor looks a bit sad but it is already glued in. Wish me luck!

    I like the idea of adding an end mill. Just do not have space where I currently live.
  21. Bills72sj
    Very impressive result. I am a WJ fan too.

    How did you make the boot seals for the ignition wires into the valve covers? I need to attempt something similar for my 427 Cammer.

    Very nice. I would like to make a replica one days as well.

    I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The rain and the rich soil here permits the farms to grow pretty much anything. I am saddened to see prime agricultural land being covered up with solar panels. Not to mention the toxic heavy metals needed to manufacture them.

    Gorgeous! Would be nice to have one of those in my garage.
