    By 1976 99% of Cup cars were GM long trailer arms rear suspension and not the stock short arms.

    FYI I used a Monogram 83 Thunderbird chassis under my NASCAR build. It fits with very little mods and is more correct for that era. Good luck...I'll be watching.

    I have not used that set on a Mustang........but they are good quality decals printed in USA by a big decal printer, art work was done by Sean S. he does a lot of box art for MK and the old Revell. Hope that answers your Q.

    My nearest hobby shop is 2.5 hour drive........so ebay and amazon is where I go when I need paint but it will be a wgile until I can get to the hobby shop.

    Cool!!! I always had that one on my radar......

    After refueling was made illegal, pit stops in F1 started to get near the 2 second mark. But 12 guys, 4 lug nuts and tires that are super light, cars that don't weigh much....... Do like the Cup guys with heavy tires, half the crew, heavy cars and 22 gallons of fuel in 12 seconds is equally impressive. I enjoy both series for what they are.

    FB says he lives in France now?????????

    Another great OBSCURE build!

    I have a buddy....he started me build models 55+ years ago!!!! He does not post on the net as 99% of his builds are on commission. And his clients would be known to most people...but almost all of them do not want to be identified. But I have been with him on deliveries of completed projects. I'd call him a PRO but he does not call himself that. His builds are very expensive and the clients are happy to pay.

    FYI....the decals they bought from me that require a white undercoat.......they skip that step.....

    I have for too many years worked in the hobby business......I helped run two different hobby shops over the years.....back in the 1980's I bought kits at cost....which was $3.35 each!!! I bought a few! Then in the old days we would deal with a number of wholesalers......one offered us all his discontinued kits at $1 each if we took all 500.....we did! Still today I freelance work in the biz......and get items that way......... I won't talk about the 2K kits I sold a hobby dealer in 2017........

    Nice neat work on a cool car........ The history of that kit is interesting. The design guy at Monogram was a Mustang owner and Ford came to Monogram and basically funded this kit. I have a few in the stash...need to build one!!!!
  14. Dave Van
    Like leaving out the needed white print in many decals????
  15. Dave Van
    I bought a case of each of the Revell parts packs, 6 in a case, for about a buck per pack.....so not hot sellers......but they are very 1960's era themed and a little out of date.
  16. Dave Van
    Great start!!!
  17. Dave Van
    And by some strange chance he/she sells copies of all the decals I sold them years ago........strange world.... I made a run of those....I will have to check and see if I have any left.....
  18. Dave Van
    Thanks for the info........with 5K kits in my stash......I'll wait and see if Revell here brings it in.....even $45, if that is the new MSRP, is outside my zone. Thx
  19. Dave Van
    Just killed a few collectors investment portfolios!!! I love it!
  20. Dave Van
    I got info from Model King yesterday the kit is being run now. Shipment is still TBA but is closer now than ever....NO Cancellation.........and if you want one....ORDER IT....this is hot!
  21. Dave Van
    Are we going to get this kit stateside???? Imports are north of $50 plus shipping.
  22. Dave Van
    I understand some do not like the Tom Daniel showrods.....but Tom is willing to work with Atlantis at a fair exchange. IF they have some fords or GM molds it will take a expensive license to run them. Right now Atlantis is trying to get some products out without big license fees.
  23. Dave Van
    Tom Daniel reports that Atlantis has Unreal Roller tooling.....just a FYI but read between the lines!!!!
  24. Dave Van
    I like that!!!
  25. Dave Van
    Nice work!! Wish someone would reissue!
