Sweet ride! I always love to see replica builds.

Thanks for all the input guys!

That is a gorgeous interior! Especially the bits of "carpet" on the door panels & console.

I've thought about using a spray adhesive, but it needs to be a good quality (much better than what I have on hand.It's too runny). I used 3M on my headliner, back in the 90's. I will definitely be getting some for my next flocking attempt!

Excellent work on that! You may have inspired me to do the same, on my next Moebius Ford build (which will be the 70 F-250 4x4).

I'll keep that in mind, when I pull mine off the shelf. Somehow I ended up with two of these. I avoided the full bumper version. Thanks for the tip!

That is true. It looks like 60's & 70's carpet, and flocking looks like some 80's & 90's carpet.

I have used embossing powder, but I think the texture doesn't look right sometimes. I love it as a "spray-on" bedliner. It's spot on for that, in my opinion. I have not however, thinned my glue before applying the flocking. I read a tip somewhere else, that showed the difference sifting makes when applying the flocking. I thought it looked better sifted. It may also depend on where you get your flocking from, as well. Beautiful interior, by the way!

Yeah, that was my 1st mistake I think.

Beautiful build! I love the two-tone paint, and how the resin caster actually molded the stake holes open>

Very cool ! I love the "phantom" category. Endless possibilities!

Very well done, and nicely detailed!

Yod did an amazing job, on a kit of questionable quality! I built the older Z/28 AMT Camaro, and it wasn't a very good kit.

I loved Hill's! The smell of the popcorn and those frozen Coke slushies! I used to ride my bike there, to spend my paper route money on model kits and records.

Looking good Michelle!

That is awesome ! I love sleepers. I really like the color too!

Pretty Sweet custom!

I see some very realistic looking "carpet" on this forum, using flocking. I seem to get mostly crappy results (spotty,thin,patchy). Recently I've tried other materials, because of my frustration with this stuff. I do use a sifter to apply the flocking, after brushing Elmer's Glue over the surface of my interior floor (it is the Dollar Tree brand though).

Unfortunately for me David, I just missed that. I was born in '67, so I grew up in the pollution control era (at least as far as new cars go). But there were still several older muscle cars roaming the streets. My older brother had a beautiful 66 Galaxie (390 4 spd), and later on a 68 Mustang fastback.

Update pics...

Thanks Jim! They came in the kit.

Beautiful old Ford, with a classic "old school" color combination!

Perfectly detailed. Excellent work! I picked up one in a trade awhile back, and thought the previous owner hacked off the fender flares. But looking at your pics, i see it doesn't have any.

Love the "fun" ones. No pressure to get that certain "look"just right, just let it happen.
