I recently finished an original issue AMT '66 Mustang, built as the convertible version, with the original kit's styled Steel Wheels. Strange that the bvox illustration has the wheel covers included in the current kit on the box art. The original box art is very similar to the new kit.

You mean one of these? This is a second that I cleaned up. It's the only one I know of, and I am going to build it. It may be getting produced, but I have nothing to do with it.

Our cars are globall sourced. A lot of folks are surprized as to where their cars came from. I remember back in the 80's, Japanese manufacturers has a hard time selling their American built couterparts. Some folks deemed ther Honda Accord, or Toyota Camry "inferior" if it were built in the U.S., and some unscrupulous dealers took advantage of that customer by marking up, or not discounting the "Japanese built" Japanese car. Some foks were shocked when they found out their beloved Caprice, Crown Victoria, or Chrysler was built in Mexico. I prefer to buy American wherever I can, but if the car I like is built elsewhere, I am not going to sweat it.Here is a simple solution. Look at the first number of the V.I.N. on your car. If it is a 1, 4, or5 it is of U.S. manufacture. 2 is Canada, 3 is Mexico, J is Japan, K is Korea, W is Germany, S is Engiand, 9 is Brazil, 6 is Austraillia, Z is Italy, Y is Sweeden, V is France. Cars are built around the world with components sourced from different countries.

Excellent work so far. By the way, remove the F-O-R-D script from the hood, as the 1967 -up models did not have it. Looks like you have a good project going there. I look forward to seeing it.

Fantastic work!!!!!

That's what I use, and $1.00 each is the normal price.

I built these over the years. Both are Johan kits that I restored, and yes, the convertible is slated to get a stock wheel and tire infusion, since it is otherwise stock. Like the other modelers wrote, they are a little hard to come by, and fairly expensive, as I got over $100 for the last one I sold, which was a break even from what I paid.

I see Highway Patrol every morining on THis TV, I love the old 50's cars. The crime plots are too incredible for words, and the acting is kind of rough.

Auto Atomix made those caps from aluminum. I believe that they are now out of business. I'm using mine on a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner.

That is handsome!!!!!

Oh yeah!!!!!! I may have to do that with one of mine.

David, Your work is fantastic!!!

I figure if you use the AMT '67 Hardtop, and parts from the Revell '65 Convertible, a pretty nice convertible can be done. I may do one after I finish a couple of projects.

That is nice!!!!

Excellent work!!!!!

I used the steering wheel from the AMT '67 Mustang GT. The steering whel in the original AMT '67 Fairlane GT was wrong in that it did not have the flower pot hub.

You did this kit justice. Beautiful work.

The '71 front clip will fit on this one like it was made for it. I cut the back half off of a derelict '67 to do this.

Drop dead georgeous!!!!

Wow!!!!!!!!

Absolutely positively!!!!! Bart!!!!

Sweet!!!!

There was an original annual kit of the 1961 Thunderbird. It is extemely rare, and yes I have one. Nice job on the pace car.

This is one fine build of one of my Favorite Cars. The undercoating could have been dealer applied, and they would do the complete underside, and not just the wheelwells.

Very Nice!!!!!
