Jasons!...CRS on the name of the store...thanx. Yeah, Jason's had a few kits, not a big variety...mostly Palmers. Do remember pickin up a 1/20 MPC Turbine Car from there.

Memories indeed Robert...built the long nose Mustang when I wuz a kid, got it from that drug store on Cherry Hill east of Telegraph near Lindberg Elementary. Here's a pic of the one I built a few years ago, I always liked that kit. Looks like they put glass in it this time. Always thought it wuz odd that there wuz no windshield in the original issues...

I like it.

Thank you Robert.

AMT '66 Mustang coupe converted to convertible...built curbside in Ford Ivy Green code R. Lately Been finishin up old projects...started this one about 20 or so years ago. Modelhaus top boot, correct exhaust trumpets and rally pac from Missing Link, double red lines from Round2 '66 fastback of recent issue and abuncha other stuff from various sources. 4/22/25...Added a close-up pic of the exhaust trumpets to show the louvers I added.

Rodders Journal #87 has been sent to the printer...stay tuned. Edit...4/7/2025...I've been told that #88 is already well underway and that TRJ is moving much closer to getting back on a consistent quarterly schedule.

Atlantis just announced the up coming release of the Pure Hell Funny car in 1/16 scale. No pics from Atlantis yet but it should look sumthin like this...1/25 one I built.

Spotmodel has this Ford logo decal sheet.

Talladaga rocker panels are factory modified. In 1969 NASCAR measured the ride height (ground clearance) at the rocker panel, in order to lower the car one inch Ford "re-rolled" the rocker panels to achieve this. The evidence of this is apparent in the picture as the "pinch weld" is quite prominent, the excess material remaining after "re-rolling" the rocker panel was not removed just welded in place. However, the pictured Talladaga is incorrect. As Ford, because of the now very prominent pinch weld as seen in the picture, painted this excess material black in an effort to make the modification less apparent. A good friend of mine owns a Presidential Blue Talladaga and is an expert in many things Ford. I built a "box stock" replica of his car using the Monogram kit when is wuz first issued.

On the real cars, the Talladaga hood is the same piece as the standard Torino with the hood leading edge chrome removed.

Give this a shot Robert... https://www.fireballmodels.info/white-letter.html

Thank you fer yer comment, paints nuthin fancy...Testors Colors by Boyd Aluma Coupe yellow over white primer.

Thank fer yer comment, in addition to the correct convertible interior the coupe kit also has the correct reinforced convertible chassis.

Thank you fer yer comment. The pinstripe decals are in the latest restored release of the kit (circa 2012), took several sheets pieced together to get the "right" fit of the pinstripes as they do not quite fit the body correctly.
