Thank you, me too. I've had it for a few years, and finally got around to putting it together.

Yeah quite the backdrop, lol

That 3rd set of wheels almost look like the ones from the Revell boss 302 Mustang

Yeah, sorry I missed you. I will definitely be at the CKM Show in August.For several years, it was the only show I attended (because I lived in Clemmons). I've been tossing around the idea of getting a table, and selling off some of my duplicates. But I would only buy more kits, lol. Plus I like to enter some of my builds, and look around & socialize. I could ask my wife to man the table, but she's not always available to go with me.

I recommend Etsy. There's a lot of 3d/ resin shops on there with farm jacks,winches, jerry cans. I would also look at VCG Resins (he acquired either Olson brothers or Bollide Model Works- can't remember which).

I love two-tone tri-fives! All of mine are white and another color. The molded side trim makes for an easier separation of colors. I love the diamond dust as a primer, especially for metallic paints. I use the classic white Testors. It sprays good, lays down nice, and dries quickly because it's a laquer. I've had bleed through with the Tamiya orange tape, so blue painter's tape is always used with it. Remember to always paint the lighter color first. You can paint the whole car with the light color, without masking off the two-tone, but it could affect the second color (like in my case by using white).

Wow! That's incredible.

I love this one! The red is perfect, in my opinion. This is a great kit. My granddaughter and I worked on it together (she was 8 or 9 at the time), so naturally it had to be pink. I picked up the Pace Car version at a recent show, and also bought those wheels (not for this build though). Your color choices work beautifully together!

Love it! I had an 81 model. It was turd brown, with a tan interior and 4 speed. My late wife loved driving it, as much as I did.

Love the attention to detail. This build looks amazing!

Closer to the finish line...

Yeah, I know "Riders" is crooked. It was past 5 o'clock, and ol' Leeroy was a bit tipsy by then, but he's still the best in the business!

Rollback Update:

I saw a table with your name on it, but it was empty. Did you not make it? I hope everything's ok.

I'm pretty sure the bottom pic is the kit I have. It was given to me by an older friend, with a few other original issues (including a 59 El Camino with a bed mount camper !)
