I hope to finish my 32 Duce and then start on another Mustang.

A movie helped me get back to building model kits. I quit building models as a kid after I bought my first real car. Then, after watching the 1990 movie "Mr Destiny" with James Belushi I wanted to build kits again because in a few scenes in that movie Belushi was shown working on a kit, had a built one at work and he got one from his buddy for X-Mas. I remember mentioning it to my sister and she got me a kit for my 30th B-Day in 1994. Building again ever since.

I open all my kits, sometimes though if I want to keep the box (box art is just too cool to trash) I'll just cut the wrap off the bottom and keep the rest on the box to protect it.

I myself have the opinion that a built model kit is not "art". Yes, there is a "art" to building the kit but to me it's not "art" in the same sense as a painting, sculpture, etc..... To me somebody else's built kit is worth nothing because I did not build it. But then my built kits to me are worth nothing in a money sense, just the joy and satisfaction of building the kit.

Never like the "Donk"......till now. Outstanding work. The colors are amazing.

Right.....I remember the Ford dealer had one here in late 78, I thought it was such a cool design. I bought a 81 coupe in early 1984. It was a left over demo model with 5000 miles on it.

I guess he did, didn't Lee leave Ford in 78?

The II was Lee's baby......he left to go to Chrysler before the Fox Pony. Lee was quoted as saying "Looks more like a fat pig than a Mustang" about the 67 Mustang, which led to the bigger 71-73's. The Mustang II was a hugh hit selling over 300xxx the first year with no V8 for the US (until 1975).

So cool! More pics........... http://artcarcentral.com/general-carbuncle-art-car/

Being a Mustang freak my favorite is the 68 Mustang dash.............

LOVE the II's!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had one back in the 90's I bought for $850. 78 with a 302, auto trans and a sunroof...........

My main listening device......... Just rebuilt this one awhile ago for vinyl to computer......... I also use cassette tapes still.....although high bias tapes are no longer made. I just bought a Sandisk MP3 player for my vinyl LP to dig songs for the car (I record to wav then convert to MP3).

AMT 66 Mustang coupe............terrible kit but I still love it. I want to build more.....I built this one 15 years ago.

Very cool....! I myself prefer the first film and Eleanor. But I love Mustang II's!

Amazing photo! St. Louis had so many motorcyclist back then........would have to loved to lived in that time period.

Thanks G.............! I've done many of retouch of these old pano photos. It's a fun job, my favorite thing about it is hearing all the back stories of these old photos.

Yep...........all my final darkroom prints (color or BW) are one-offs due to the manipulation during printing.

I've been a photographer and worked in photo labs since 1985. Currently I work for a company called Schiller's Camera. My title here is Photographic Restoration Artist. I also run a black-n-white darkroom out of my house. Yes people (including me) still shoot film. My office or desk is in the lab. Here is an example of my work......

Looks old and nasty........and cool. Nice weathering.

Thanks.........yeah, this kit is very nice. The parts I did use went together just fine and I using some parts (engine, wheels/tires) for my 32 High-boy, nice kit. I'll have to get another one of these and build it stock.

Super nice I think I'll look into getting this kit after seeing this build!

YES PLEASE FOR 85 MUSTANG NOTCH!!!!!!!!!! A Mustang II Notchback would be cool as well................
