Like the idea of a modern rendition, I believe the guys at West Coast Customs did a version too. Oh, and you don't necessarily need to have the engine cover on.

Here's the version being produced by Ford currently: Looks great!

I have the lifted version, black with silver bottom. It had been sitting on the hobby store's shelf for a few years, so I finally bought it. Turns out the cowl and grille support pieces on the body were separated, but I just glued them and wrapped some tape around them, and then painted the body. Can hardly tell until you're right up next to it.

(Yeah it's a 302, but close enough)

It's a great kit and very detailed right out of the box, have fun building it!

404 Picture not found!

Here's a built one that I found towards the back of the "Under Glass" section, in orange. Toyota Pickup

To be honest, it looks like you have the bumpers switched around! The one on the rear doesn't stick out far enough, and the one on the front sticks out too far. Otherwise, awesome build!

Hey, what model kit is that Ford Econoline? (Minus the solid-axle-swap and large tires)

I'd say keep the blood on the wall. If anyone asks, just say "Let's just say someone didn't agree with my modeling ideas...whoops I've said too much, and now I can't let you leave!"

Here's a great 1:1 version I saw at a car show last summer.

Bit of an old thread, but I have a trick for tint. Black Sharpie. I found out that when you use it on the transparent plastic, it becomes a sort of transparent purple color up close (like some of the window tints), but from farther away it's black. Of course it would work better for smaller windows because you'll get the lines where there's more ink on the larger windows. I figured it does work great for tinted lights, you just put the color on the inside of the light (if not already colored) and put the black on the outside. You'll be able to see the light color up close but from further away it will look tinted. Oh yeah, you can also use the thin-tip black Sharpie for rear window defroster lines, just by laying straight lines with tape and drawing on the window.

Car looks great! Now all you need to work on is your picture taking skills! Edit: just looked at your other thread, yeah those cell-phone cameras aren't the greatest.

I actually found an older version of this model in a box of my uncle's old model kits. It was one of my first paint-and-glue kits, and it didn't have all the pieces, so it didn't go together very good. I recently purchased the complete kit, so I could put them side by side when done, and show off how far along I've come. It should be interesting!

Looks awesome! Love the color and the stance!

My Jeep is a stick and I enjoy driving it, even in stop-and-go traffic where I've determined ways to make it as least-stressful as possible. Of course I barely ever get stuck in it because I know several ways to get home and don't drive around the big cities around traffic time. Oh, and I can drive a stick and drink beverages...it's called drinking when not shifting! Even if the Taurus has all the fancy gizmos that make it appear you're driving a manual, it just wouldn't be the same. I've driven my uncle's 2008 Infiniti M35 with the auto that has the manual shift option on the shifter, and though the car was powerful it just wasn't the same feel as driving a true manual.

As far as the engine goes, it does actually seem good, not to mention quite a few build choices. -ram's horn manifolds or headers -stock 4bbl, 2 4bbls (came with 2, manifold only good for 1, gonna see if I have a 2 carb manifold laying around), or velocity stacks -stock air cleaner or tall aftermarket air cleaner

I plan on building up this model when I get home from school this summer. I just wanted to get a few opinions on the actual kit as far as how well it goes together, any tips on building it smoothly, and of course some pictures of how other people have built it. I looked through the parts in the box and I love how many extra pieces they give with the kit!

The Fusion was the Taurus replacement, and the Five Hundred was more or less the Crown Vic replacement. But since the Five Hundred wasn't selling great, they changed the name to Taurus, thus the Taurus is now a full-size car rather than a mid-size as in past years.

Lookin sweet so far! I do think the sidepipes would look awesome, but have the tips not go past the edge of the tire. What taillights are you planning on using?

Here's one I've seen at a car show...also I guess it's the only one built with the green body and black painted roof, it's quite gorgeous.

Awesome! The Wings are my favorite team, hope they win! (I'm sure they will ) While you're at the Xcel, may I suggest getting the pizza, it's excellent.

Seeing as no one else answered, and since it's not the 21st yet, I'll help ya out. First off, no stores with plastic models in MoA, just a diecast car store. I found a place in Richfield, which is the next town to the NW of the mall. It's called the Hub Hobby Center and I guess it is fairly big. Hope this helps! BTW, who is the Wild playing? I love going to their games, the Xcel Center is an awesome rink! (I'm from Minnesota)

I'd say go with the gold Cragers!
