  1. Good looking Mustang. All the detail work is top notch.
  2. Really nice Tom. I really like the tidyness in the engine bay.
  3. Love the old Chargers. Looking good.
  4. thanks Mike and Charlie.
  5. Ok....made a little more headway on the Sedan. I did a pretty much plain Jane interior. I blacked out the whole bottom as I was loosing interest in the crappy parts I was gluing on. I may go back and paint the floor black. This is the last MPC kit for me.
  6. Now that looks pretty sharp. That color is nice.
  7. I now have a rolling chassis so to speak. I checked out the windshield and frame fit to the body and the glass fits the frame fine but the assembly is just to small for the opening. I'll have to think about this over a couple cups of coffee. I was going to get the body in primer today but there is a chance of rain and the humidity it way to high.
  8. Thanks Dave. I know right. Well....3rd time's the charm so the next one will be good right???
  9. Good looking Indy car and nice story.
  10. Really well done. Detailing looks great.

    MPC Wild Ones 2

    Looks pretty kewl. I like the ol surfer dude. Nice job.
  12. Coming along nicely.
  13. Looking good so far. You may have to get a pretty big shoe horn to get that Boss 302 in there.
  14. Thanks for the info Dave. Didn't think about the windshield being part of the framework that holds it together. I'll check it out when I get out into the garage later.
  15. Nice to see you back Tim.
  16. Thanks Chaz. Trying to get all the work in I can when I have the time.
  17. Turned out a great. The green looks nice.
  18. I had a 37 1:1 some years back so I'm liking what I'm seeing. Great work.
  19. Boy does that bring back some memories. The wife had a Gremlin back in the day. ill be watching this one.
  20. Got the engine wire. Think I'll mount the coil on the firewall or fender later.
  21. I was looking at the remaining parts in the kit and noticed (2) windshield frames and (2) grille shells. The parts on the far left and far right are what is shown in the instructions. Not sure what MPC's thinking process was on the extra parts. The grille will not fit the shorter grille shell and the other windshield from is to small. In fact, both just barely fit the opening in the body. Just hard to get a pic of the fit issue. Not sure how to glue it in without having a big gap somewhere.
  22. Thanks buddy.
  23. I've change gears once again fella's. Now I'm thinking about going with one of the stock wheels & tires. I didn't like how the rear wheels stick out past the fenders so I modified the inner hub to set the rear wheels in like the front fender. This also required cutting 1/8" off the axle. The ride height didn't come out as low as I would have liked but it's a lot better than the stock height was.
