An old build up should work better . Now all you need to do is wait for someone to trade .

Very well done !

This is awesome Ira ! You could scratch build some Boss 429 valve covers for that block (you have the talent) . Yes I am a ford guy. LOL

Being from a large family we had many Pintos . My dad drove a used 71 or 72 with a 1600 and a four speed, with Firestone 500's on it . Yes the were one of the few good sets of them out there . He drove 90 miles everyday for work . He had the car for 3 years or so and it had well north of 100,000 miles . My brother turned in the tires for his Pinto and Firestone gave him good money for them.WE had three wagons one runabout (see above car ) and a couple other hatchbacks. So yes I would purchase a few kits if they came out .They are to much money on Ebay .

The first model kit I ever built Was this 75 Pinto. Put in the 429 per my brothers helping hand . Still laying around someplace.

Nice work so far . Looks like a winner to me.

Nice car.

What can you say about work that holds up well for this long ? Awesome !!

Would a straight pin or a sewing needle work here for the bolt going into the head ? Just glue a piece of hex stock on the end .

Very well done . Just wondering if the grill is a cut down 34 ford pickup custom grill?

Another nice Galaxie ! Two in a week . Now we need some 62's to show up .

Rally !

I would have to say that they would sell more of the Oldsmobile Cutlass kits than they think. Just look at the sales numbers of the 1:1 cars . If they just came out with a 78 or 79 I would be happy ! Also I do not think that anybody has ever produced a rear drive Cutlass in 1/25 or 1//24 scale past the 74 model year , in any medium .

The Tamiya kits should fit that good at the price they charge .

Just have to make every trip count . Time to start building the stash of kits the girl friend says i do not need!

This looks like a great project Jesse.

It is good to an old Ford in all ts glory ! Very well done Sir !

This a great forum ! Learned something new again today.

Modelhaus a great product made by good people ! It is always a pleasure to see them at the Toledo show.

Thank you for the Info Art . It was a good video.

Doug try O'Reilly Auto parts.

Thank you for the info gentlemen .

I hope that I did this Quote thing right . Anyway think of Petty blue when thinking of the color and why it was thought of orange at one time . It was 1910 when it was put together money was not spent like it is today on a race car . Could they have just mixed what they had in cans and there it is A dark yellow orange kind of color. The car is what it is in the old before untouched colors . It does not look like a bright yellow to me (that is just my eye ) , I also do not think that yellow darkens with age .Just my 10 cents worth .

Cool Build ! It may freak you out, if you forget it is a glow kit some night !

Should the bleach white be straight from the bottle or mix with water ? Also how many times can I use a tub of the stuff to dunk the Resin overnight , or is a one time use?
