thank you tim i hope people enjoy the pictures.

wow! cant wait to start machining the engine for the mustang. i am doing a 429 boss.should be interesting.do you have classes for beginers?

valve covers look awesome francis .looking into anodizing as well. i have some friends that that are doing it.do you use a variable power source?

windows and chrome next and mount it on the chassis

i think if i sand them with some 400 to dull them a little and smooth the sidewalls,they will be pretty nice.got to find some decals for both front and rear.got the outer half of the wheels done as well.

having to much fun with this mustang,got to get back onthe corvette.metal foil on the trim and glass is about it.could not find what i wanted for front tires so i machined a pair .i hope they look ok .now the wheels.going to be the same as the rears only alot skinnier.i used delrin plastic for the tires ,delrin machines so nice.

1/12 65 mustang. working on it and the corvette. hi francis thanks .

almost finished polishing the body. assy. is very close. need a few things from RB motion and some radiator hoses. finally found some material i like for the seat belts. the material is red but when you cut strips it wants to unravel,so i put two coats of red paint on both sides and that holds it together really well.

continuing final assy.have run into a couple of minor problems.nothing serious.making a new grill, the one that came with the model was in bad shape.

i love to scratch build .engines and wheels are my favorite.this is 1/8 scale.made every thing on the engine except the webbers,but i did make the screens.

i am getting closer to the finish.started on the dry sump oil lines and the fuel lines.in the process of machining the remote oil filter and a few more a/n fittings.a little nervous still about the paint on the body but i am ready to try.i will be two tone yellow on top navy blue bottom.hope to start painting on wednesday.

hi francis, its rustolem spray can and applied straight from the can.i think its great.it goes on nice and you dont need clear over it .i think i will try clear overit on a test piece to see what it does.it is a huge amount of paint for about 5 dollars.just looking at the pictures of your truck agin.i love it.what type o f glue do you use to glue aluminum parts to each other? I use 2 part epoxy.

have any of you tried rustoleum metallic. i think its great. thats what is on the headers and side pipes, very shiny smooth finish.doing all the details to head for the finish line. got my steering wheel machined and the seat close to finished. getting ready to paint the body.

i cant stop looking at your pictures francis. trying to learn from them.

i got them at teds modeling.thanks for the comment.i am doing my best to finish.i am getting close to losind intrest it has taken so long.my next project i am going to learn from studying yours and do a model project with a kit and scratch build parts of it .it makes much more sense.scratch from nothing is so tame consuming.i have another cmplete 1/8 corvette in an unopened box i ant to do as adrg car and i have 1/2 shelby mustang also in the box.i think it would only take a year or so instead of three.details are taking forever.sorry to drg on.look up teds modeling marketplace.com
