Just keep in mind that the early to mid 1960's Comet and the 1962-65 Farilane doesn't use the same chassis, the Comet was built on a Falcon based chassis same as the Mustang, Mercury Cougar, later 66 forward Fairlanes and Torinos. The 1962-65 Fairlane only shares the chassis with the 1962-63 Mercury Meteor so no other FoMoCo car has the same chassis. The upcoming 65 Comet are a better choice or modify one of the other Falcon based chassis to fit.

Scale Equipment Ltd also has Rally II wheels, I bought a couple of sets quite a while ago from them, the trim rings are plated and they look good. http://www.seltd.net/ez-catalog/X344897/2

Keep an eye in the mirror, this truck will soon be coming in the "Monfort Lane".

Here are a couple of pics on the front end setup on the early SOHC Mustangs.

Great work Chris. I have done injector lines hand bent from stainless wire on a 1:24th model, both under the bird catcher and blower, and that was pretty hard to get to look right, as it was a much smaller model it wasn't as detailed as yours.

1973-74ish.

You're welcome.

I have three, one 44 foot goose neck, one 38 foot goose neck and one 21 foot tag along, but none are built. But they looks to be good quality and quite easy to build..

You are not far off there Dave. The Pro Stock cars evolved away from the production cars about that time, after that only parts of the body shell was from a production car and today the Pro Stock bodies are very far away from the production cars, they are longer, narrower and lower and the shape is altered so they are completely different from the road going cars they are supposed to be.

This engine was used i several Jo-Han Chrysler 300 kits, the 63, 66, 67 and 68 at least.

These AFB's are the best I have seen so far. Unfortunately the kit manufacturers doesn't provide good carburetor detailing with a few exceptions, and mostly that's okay for models where the carburetor is covered by an aircleaner, but for models with exposed carbs we need better ones than what's available in the kits. I agree with the request of the Holley 4150 series carbs with the LeMans float bowls, we really need these for several subjects, as well as good high detail Holley 4160 series carbs for the 68 Hemi Dart's and Barracuda's.

Nice work!

You can find lots of pictures of Tyrone Malone's trucks here: https://www.facebook.com/Tyrone-Malone-and-the-Bandag-diesel-racing-team-189062841121878/ And Here: http://public.fotki.com/superboss1/tyrone_malone/ They the best places to find reference photos of Malone's trucks, both sites are from the same man, Ken Harris, who worked for Malone and drove the Papa Truck transporter in the European Tour back in 1989. Just keep in mind that there has been four versions of the Super Boss with slightly different paint schemes, The first Thermo King version from 1974-78, the first Bandag version from 1979-88, the later Bandag version from 1989 and forward and finally the latest version as the truck was repainted again by the current owner Gary Ries, the decals supplied in the kit are for the first and second versions up to 1988. Here are a couple of engine pics from those sites.

Yes the Super Boss and the Bandag Bandit has rear torsion bar suspension and the model kits are quite accurate as Brian said, the door handles was changed to paddle latch 1972 and the vent windows got smaller at the same time so they are correct for the Super Boss as it's supposed to be a 1974. The Bandag Bandit wich is a 1978 model today has an older cab with the older style door handles and larger vent windows as the truck was damaged in a fire at Malones shop, before the fire it had the later cab and a different interrior. The Super Boss as well as the Bandag Bandit was ordered as "glider kits" with frame, front axle, hood and cab, the rest was put together by Malone and his crew.

Model Car Garage in their usual fashion includes script emblems for every available model of the car the detail set are for, you also have the emblems for Ranch Wagon, Country Sedan and Country Squire and AMT has never done them in kit form. But the MCG sets can be adapted for other kit makers than stated, I have used a detail set meant for the Revell 55 Chevy on an AMT kit and it worked well with a couple of small modifications.

The Revell AG KW K100 kits are exactly the same except for the roof, so the roof spoiler are in the flat top kits too.

Nice work Michel.

Good to see you back modeling Rickard.

Nice work as usual Rickard, are you done with the house?

The "stick-like" thing poking out from the cam cover you are refering to is a cam driven mechanical fuel pump (or fuel pumps if there are two) feeding the fuel injection system. Top Fuel and Funny Car engines doesn't use any water pumps as they don't have any water in them and dry sump oil systems are more used on Pro Stock, Competition Eliminator, NASCAR and that type of engines, but Funny Car engines have a dry sump oil system to be able to mount the engines lower in the chassis without the oil pan getting too close to the ground. Here are a couple of pictures on Hilborn FI systems. And here is a typical dry sump system.

A while ago I showed my new car but it wasn't really as I wanted it, I got the wheels and tires I have been waiting for yesterday and mounted them today, now I'm satisfied with the stance and how it looks. Before with the old 14 inch wheels. Now with the new 15 X 7 and 15 X 8 inch wheels.

As far as I know they only raced the Mk IV at only two races in 1967, Le Mans and Sebring, and only 6 cars were built, 1968 and 69 they went back to the Mk I as the rules were changed to maximum 5 litre engines and Ford themselves got out as a factory team.

Isn't the white one a J-Car because it doesn't look like a Mk IV.

The only kit I have ever given up on is this one. It's a modified reissue of the Orange Crate kit and if the Crate is difficult this one is even worse as it doesn't build up the same way...well some things are but other things doesn't. I bought it back in the 70's and I thought it looked cool but it was unbuildable at my age, I think I was 13-14 years old at the time, I've got one more (and a couple of the Crate's) and will give it another go when I feel up to the challenge.

Nice, I built that one a long time ago back in the late 80's and I still have one more in my stash. Wich version are they?, the rarest are the first issue with Air Ride, the later ones had Walking Beam.
