  1. Wow man that silver rocks!!! It's really gonna pop with the black top!
  2. Nice work man that looks awesome!
  3. That is really nice!! Good Job!
  4. Tyrone this build has been a huge help! I've learned so much. Can't wait to see it in paint!
  5. Fred, Thanks for the info. I will definitely be hitting you up once I get a little farther.
  6. I'm in for the '90 Caprice. Are you making the masters yourself?
  7. Here is a teaser. I spent around two hours putting the major decals on this thing. LOTS of decal setting solution and I still have some wrinkles. Hopefully once I bury the decals in clear coat they will disappear. Lots more decals to add but I'm gonna clear it before I go any further. Thanks for looking!
  8. Small update. I'm going to be using the engine from the Revell 2010 Mustang GT500. I actually googled how to do the swap on the 1:1 car and found out I need to move the tranny cross member back. So last night I carefully cut it out. Then I filled the gaps with some evergreen strips. Next up will be cleaning up the gaps in the floor and fabbing the motor mounts...... Thanks for looking
  9. WOW!!! That's some serious tubing on that thing.......I don't even know where I'd start........I think I'm going to go with a 4.6 GT500 motor with the blower.... Niko I really like the flat black on that one you showed. It looks so mean!
  10. Man this is so cool. I'll be borrowing your exhaust idea. I LOVE those rear tires. Where did you source them?
  11. So, I am still recovering from my procedure two weeks ago. I really cannot safely paint for another week or so. I was getting bored because to continue working on the Hornet I have a ton of paint work to do. Stopped by the local Mom and Pop department store and they had the Mustang LX drag car kit. Got it home and ripped it open. I really prefer the look of the 4 headlight Mustangs. Off to the stash I went. I had an MPC '79 hatch on the shelf. About an hour later I had this: You can tweak the front fenders on the Revell to get the MPC nose to fit but the Revell nose is too wide to put on the MPC body. I have since narrowed the hood a bit and it fits perfect. I will need to add some small shims to the MPC nose near the hood to close up the gap. I will be using that MPC scoop. I will need to modify the tail light area to accept the '79 lights. I will not be modding the quarter windows. These cars have so many interchangeable parts that it's not uncommon in the 1:1 world to see parts from various years on the same car. I first tried to mini tub the chassis but just couldn't get the tires I wanted to use to fit. After cutting and trimming I threw in the towel and back halved the thing. I'm still trying to decide on a power plant. I don't think this one will be blown........I want that smooth hood look....... I also started on the interior/cage. I'll be building on the Revell parts Thanks for looking.
  12. That is very cool. Never saw one built with the clear body. I really like it!
  13. That looks great. I always liked the look of these early rear engine cars.
  14. That is AWESOME!!!!!! Fantastic job weathering it!!!
  15. WOW!! That came out great!!! Nice job!
