Beautiful looking build with excellent details. The color is perfect for this car! I built one of these a few years back and painted it with dark metallic purple nail polish. A great kit to build. You've done a superb job! Later-

Beautiful build and the color is a great choice. The wheels and tires go on just about anything and make it look good. Later-

Anytime! Sorry it sounds like it didn't work for you. Thanks for the 442 parts! I can get to work on it now. Later-

Still moving forward. Had to order a new 66 Wildcat kit since a lot of parts were either missing or in bad shape. Got it in on Thursday. Got the backs of the custom wheels sawn off and opened the spokes. Painted them a custom mix of blue. Installed the floating dash to the bottom of the windshield and got the interior in place. Working now on the engine and chassis.

I found these today in my decal stash. Looks like they can be found in the Monogram 32 Ford roadster- Kit # 2718-0300. Later-

Thank you guys for the encouraging words. Still having fun with it. Later-

So, I changed the title of this thread to 65/66 Wildcat because back on page one bisc63 clearly pointed out that the body was a 65 (the chrome vents on the front fenders denote that) but the rest of the kit that I got as a rebuilder is 66. The front grill does not have the round piece in the center and the rear bumper has the date of 1966 stamped in the lisence plate area. That is probably why most of the custom parts did not fit well and needed modified. Oh well! Anywho, I got most of the chrome done tonight using BMF instead of the Molotow I had originally used. I also deleted the wing windows since the passenger side frame.kept breaking on me. Makes it look much better to me without the wing windows. Next is new window glass and a new chassis from a fresh kit that I will be getting off of Ebay. Stay tuned! Later-

Wow! Amazing efforts to get the details right! You're doing a fantastic job on this beautiful little car. I've wanted this kit for quite a while but have yet to get it. After reading through this entire post I'm back on the hunt for one. Thank you! Later-

Looks amazing! Love the colors and the fact that you used craft paint for it. Nice engine detailing too. Later-

Thanks. Got some of the chrome on the body done with Molotow. Windows are next. Would love to find some.replacement glass for this. Otherwise I'll have to make my own windows. Later-

The interior is complete! Decaled around the center of the door panels with railcar pinstripes that I've had for years. Painted the center console and the center of the seats in Pearl White. The dash will be a floating dash (attached to the bottom of the glass). Next is polishing the body and doing BMF. I've been pecking away at the engine. I need to pick up another of these kits to get some vital missing or damaged parts replaced. Later-

I think you're right! No wonder I couldn't figure it out. Well, it will be a rear bumper when I use it. Maybe on a Buick invicta custom. Later-

I've also done it using a very small bit of acrylic white mixed into some Future floor polish. About a 1:5 ratio. Barely want to tint it white otherwise it doesn't look good. Later-

I bought this bumper at a swap meet this week because I thought it would make a cool bumper for a custom project. I am not certain what make or model it is from. Anybody know? I'm thinking a Buick or Pontiac? Later-

Well, thanks fellas. Guess I.won't be using these since I don't have a Corvair to put them on. Lol. Later-

Does anyone know what issue of AMT 68 Mustang that these wheels came in? I've never seen an issue with them included. Later-

Nice builds! Especially like the TBird. I've got one of those to build someday. I think what might help that Mustang a lot would be to move the rear wheels out a bit. The track seems to be a bit narrow. Later-

I attended my club's model contest and swap meet today. Won a third place in the motorcycle category with my Revell Chopper and picked up a few things. Chevy Wrecker, 33 Willys van, 53 Stude, Jag XKE -all sealed inside, VW parts kit to complete.a parts kit I have, GT 40 is started but complete. Wheels are AMT 68 Mustang, MPC Pontiac, what I think are Ford Hubcaps and three sets of Ansen 5 slot wheels, as well as 32 Ford firewalls, 60's skirts, a two pack of scoops and a pair af aluminum side pipes. Oh, and a 50's bumper and 72 Chevy bed. Not bad for $60! Came home to a package from Jphillips that included a rebuilder 65 Caddy! Great day! Later-

Those are definitely amazing builds! You have some great skills to be able to design and build your own models and have them turn out so well. Great job! Later-

Nice work on converting that to a 1 ton. The detail in the weathering of the bed floor is perfect. I like the story of the blown motor too. Later-

Looks like an interesting project and a good start. Can't wait to see more. Later-

Thanks guys! Later-

The paintwork looks very nice to me, other than the aforementioned mold lines. I really like the color and I'm guessing that you used craft paint, due to the water and soap wash-up comment. I like using craft paint. They have a wide variety of colors and it is simple for clean-up. Later-

Pecking away at the interior of this tonight. Got the decal for the gauge pod from a sheet in my stash. Added a trim.ring from aluminum tubing. The decals around the door panels are from a rail car sheet I bought back in 2001! Finally using them. Still a ways to.go on the interior. The dash will be a floating dash to be added later. Later-
