Thanks! Since the Revell body is downsized to the T-Bird/Cougar proportions I had no illusions about building this stock, only quasi-stock. Kind of thinking of stuffing the supercharged 5.4 from a '10 Shelby in there.... yeah, that idea keep sounding better and better the more I think of it.

Anybody remember the Mark VII? No? Well... here's a refresher! I used the wheels and tires from the Revell '50 Ford F-1, and the rotor/caliper castings are from an old XS Tuning wheel/tire set. The car will sit a bit higher than this- the body is resting on the tops of the tires (and the large strip of plastic in back) in this photo.

So did the original 1960's Mustang- it's styling was more or less ripped off from European GT cues... long hood, short deck, 'blade' bumpers, etc.. It worked then, I don't see why it won't work now. (PS- Harry- this should be my 10,000th post, so I figured I'd at least try to put it to some use. )

Kevin just added one more to my list.

Yeah- fell asleep at the switch ID-ing it. But still, that's the one I'm going to build!

Love stuff like this! Imagine the outcry if you did this in 1:1.

Sweet!

According to an old Light Commercial column, Monogram came very close to kiting one in the late '80's.

Cash would be nice.

I do hope Ford ditches the whole 'retro' thing they have going with the Mustang. Not that the current cars are unattractive or anything, but I'd rather see the Mustang lead the styling of Ford's line, not be a reflection of what it was 50 years ago.

Nice! is this the same Josh Mills who built the '35 Ford custom featured in the January '11 R&C?

MAN THE HARPOONS!!!!!1!!!!1!

Nice!

Absolutely right... but everybody remembers the second-gen cars with the stickers, spats, and T-tops. Just like people are more likely to associate the car from Smokey and The Bandit with the black t-top 'screaming chicken' car rather than the white and Lucerne Blue-striped original when they hear the name 'Trans Am'.

Aw, come on! You couldn't let it ride for five or six pages before revealing it was all just a joke?

That's the only gripe I have, the car is a '94 or '95. Still, a lovely job on this one.

There are a couple of Mack N transkits for this. http://sourkrautsmodeltrucks.com/?page_id=3&product_id=803 http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/kitsparts.html

Satin apple green, yes.

Sweet! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks these look good laid out on big wheels.

Chopped and hardtopped... I like!

Doesn't matter what scale, or even if a kit of it exists... what's the one truck that you absolutely know you will model one of these days come hell or high water? For me, it's got to be the Kenworth C500...

Like them all, but I love the IH and Western Star.

40 grand, huh? Wonder how much he'd have saved if he'd opted not to go with that godawful paint scheme.
