Carl, the green was pretty, just applied incorrectly. It is gone now. Chassis surgery was pretty easy. Trimming the interior panels for the mini tubs was time consuming.

Well, after assembling the 427 I learned that it does not fit between the shock towers. I imagine they had the same problem in the real world. I guess I'll be hacking a painted body.

Bob, You are welcome to follow along.

That is one well done racer.

High quality result. Especially the chrome trim.

Good score Sam. Are you going to cap it to keep the dust out?

Steve, If I could build models with the quality that you do, I could sympathize with your frustration. Since I do not, I have different attitude towards shows. I have been to maybe 10 in my whole life, so they are still a treat. I bring some of my builds without any expectation of winning. I am more interested in seeing other peoples builds and ideas and maybe getting the occasional chance to share the details of one of mine with someone. To me that is enough satisfaction to keep on attending. (That and getting some good deals on more kits). While your builds may not have won any trophies at the show, I sure do appreciate you sharing them here. You are an inspiration to me.

Sir, You NAILED IT! The load crates are spot on! Most impressive. You definitely took a vision and made it a reality.

I am in the repaint the roof camp. Use the foil you have down as the masked edge. Paint it. Peel the foil and refoil it again. If you leave the flaw, it will disappoint you every time you look at it.

Got most of the parts detail painted. The assembly has begun. The BOSS 429 engine is painted. Assembly will be forthcoming.

Did some detail painting of parts yesterday. Started into some assembly of the chassis and installed the dash in the tub. I have the 427 SOHC block painted. I will start on assembling it tomorrow.

Did a lot of detail painting yesterday and a bit of assembly today. Still need to build up the 428 Cobra Jet from the 69 Mach 1 kit.

Finally back at it after 3 weeks of 12-14 hour days at work. Got a lot of detail painting done. Started some assembly.

Very nice! I am working on four similar vintage Mustangs now.

Sweet ride.

Excellent work!

Most impressive! Very nicely done.

Thin down your chosen color of paint to the consistency of Tamiya panel line paint. Use a frayed toothpick as a wick/brush and apply it to the center cap. This assumes of course the is a perimeter ridge like a Cragar S/S cap.

Nice Torinos. The best man at my wedding had a silver one with the yellow orange stripes.

Very nice! When I was a kid my Dad bought a black '64 wagon with the woodgrain sides. I think it was a flip. We didn't have very long.

Nice project. Following.

I admire your efforts. Your weathering looks pretty realistic. I went with the shiny new concept on my one and only diorama. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/154551-grand-opening-of-the-american-restomod-workshop/

I admire your effort to create the proper shapes required for better accuracy.

Very nice. I like it a lot.

Couldn't say any better.
