Carl, I wish you the best in your future. I have admired how encouraging you have been to all us other builder out here. Take care.

Stunning, Absolutely stunning!

Where did you get the Firestones?

Nice resto/save.

I like it. I am thinking the rear wing supports should lean forward not rearward though.

Very nice result.

There is a resin transkit for $500 on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324175597709. Maybe a cross between a 66 Charger and a 67 GTX could get you most of the way there.

Nice work. I will be following. I have a variety of 68-70 Chargers stashed up ready to build.

Welcome, This one has been stalled for some time.

Good idea, the metal I used is slightly thicker and not curved as much.

Cool tanker. Following,

I admire your creativity and your execution is excellent! Well done.

Love the subject and creativity. Following.

So far all 3 of them spray nice. The small cup one doesn't hold much paint and takes a steady hand. The larger cup one has a cap but I have learned not to fill it to the top. I have already killed the O-ring for the nozzle (due to solvents) so I have sealed it with beeswax. Have not used it since I did so. It also does not like high solids paint like decanted flat black primer. The siphon gun doesn't mind the high solid paint but requires more air pressure to spray (simple adjustment). Cleaning the jars takes a lot more lacquer thinner as opposed to the other two. So far, I have not actually used them enough to prefer one over the other.

Nice work on both. Are the black stripes paint, decals or tape?

The builds here are AWESOME! I have only been a member here for not quite a year. I have easily DOUBLED my knowledge of what actually can be done. I very recently invested in the tools and materials to airbrush. My builds now take longer but I am prouder of the results. I am still working on the time vs. quality/detail balance.

I vote for the gold metal flake to Candy Orange fade. YES!!!!

Thank you for sharing the pics and info. I really like what you have built.

Thank you. I have done some painting with all 3 airbrushes. The results have been pretty good so far. I do have a lot of set up and clean up since I do not have the privilege of leaving it ready to go as the room is multi purpose.

When I built my 69 Cougar Drag Kat (Early 70's issue?). It had inner fenders. I just dug through my meager parts box as I know I had some 67 Mustang parts in it. Unfortunately, not the engine bay. Sorry. Good Luck.

Just started a simultaneous build of 5 Mustangs. This is #3. Just finished prepping the body for paint. Once I have all the bodies prepped I will paint them all the same day.

Need some Fords in my display cabinet. Pull out this stalled project to finish up. You are welcome to follow along. Painted (so so) Testors Jade Green Metallic. Has a resin teardrop hood.

Very nice indeed. I JUST started a build of the same kit yesterday. Any assembly tips or pitfalls I should be aware of? BTW mine will be a dark blue too.

Very nice effort. I can see your skills improving. I would suggest when decaling, put one drop of dish soap in your decal soaking puddle. It will permit you to slide a decal around until it is EXACTLY where you want it. Use a Q-tip and some plain white vinegar as a cheap substitute decal set to get the bubbles and wrinkles to go away. Use dry Q-tips to gently soak up any excess moisture. Happy modeling!

My sentiments EXACTLY!
