I kept looking at the taillights wondering what was missing and they needed backup lights! Out came my jar of Tamiya XF-2 Flat White paint and a thin brush and now I have backup lights! Dex Parios will return...

Thanks Dirk and Carl! I happen to love Mustangs! Some of my favorite actors drive Mustangs in the well known TV shows and movies.

Believe it or not, but I found a set in my parts box! I won't be needing yours. Thank you for offering!

Yes! I will take them! PM to come!

Sounds like a lot of scratch building. Good luck!

I have the Mustang Lowrider kit (same as your Monkee kit) that I got free of charge and I dug it out and found out that I don't have any taillights! I will have to find something in my parts box to replace them with. A clear part will only save you time if you don't have to paint it at all. It depends on the molding process and the design of the part. Good luck!

Be sure to remove the struts on the driving lights and glue the lights directly to the front bumper!

One step at a time. Take a brush with chrome silver paint and brush it on the taillights and let it set up for a few minutes. Take an alcohol wipe and remove the paint from the raised surfaces and let it dry completely. Take some clear red and brush it over the taillights and let it set up and wipe off the raised surfaces with an alcohol wipe and you are done. It shouldn't take you that long to do. Thanks Garry!

It has been over 2 1/2 weeks since I paid any attention to the Stumptown Mustang GT. I applied the Tamiya X-27 Clear Red over the Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver and after it had set up for a few minutes, I used an alcohol swab on the taillights and removed the extra Clear Red. Worked pretty good! Dex Parios will return...

I was inspired to add a hood scoop to the Pace Car, but the hood scoop is white plastic and the body and hood of the Pace Car is red plastic. Should I pre-paint the hood scoop red and then add it to the Pace Car hood and then paint the whole kit and kaboodle red? I know that the red color of the plastic with leak through. I want to paint the Pace Car a matching red to hide the swirl marks and join line of the red plastic.

Here are some pictures of my '94 Mustang GT Coupe. They appear to be the same ride height and assembly procedures. More Pace Car to come...

Thanks Jeremy! The 1:1 Spenser For Hire Mustang GT was t-boned in an accident while filming for a Ford commercial. The remains were crushed.

Thanks Michael! The styling was to be influenced by Japanese cars, but still have an American flavor to them. At least that is what I had read somewhere back then.

Thanks Dirk! This Mustang Pace Car is a neat looking vehicle. I have the Revell '99 Cobra in the stash and I added the shaker hood scoop to the kit. I have seen a couple of 2003-2004 Mustang Mach 1 over the years and the hood scoop looks interesting.

I had a little time this afternoon before the thunderstorms hit the area and I assembled the 5.0 Liter engine. I even had time to drill the cylinder heads for plug wires. Now for some grey paint even if the instructions call for flat black. The dog had to go out and when the thunder clapped, he came running back into the house! More Pace Car to come...

Thank you for the tip, but Tamiya Pink Primer still doesn't interest me. Sorry.

No, I haven't. Tamiya's Pink Primer doesn't interest me.

Thanks Jonathan and Rex! Nice Cobras, Rex! I took most of the parts to the sink for a bath with a scrub brush and Dawn Dish Detergent and I placed them to dry in my paintbooth.

I was going to wait until I had finished my Stumptown Mustang GT to post this, but it's hot out and I really don't want to go outside. So here it is! My new project is the 1994 Ford Mustang GT Pace Car! I picked this kit up from an auction of kits belonging to someone for $5 and I wondered how I should build it. My build will be of a stock Pace Car and I have to go down to my LHS for paint to match the body molded in red. Oh Joy! More red plastic to cope with! I have a yellow SN195 Mustang that I built years ago for reference if I need it. More Pace Car to come...

Thank you Cliff!

Thank you Philippe and Bob!

Sorry! My bad for posting this WIP in the wrong section. I should have known better! The Story McNally sees Teresa park in front of his house and he opens the door and welcomes her in. She tells him about Jack Tirana and how he is harassing her. She wants Jack to go away and leave her and her kids alone and to stop stalking them. McNally tells Teresa that he will do what he can to get Jack to stop harassing and stalking her and her kids. He asks her about Jack and where he lives and works. Jack Tirana lives in Roxbury and works at Tonnawerks, Inc. in that town and McNally will drive over to Tonnawerks and stake out the building and Jack and sees where he goes during the day. The Build Before turning in, I washed the body, chassis and interior bucket of the Caravan last night. Primer and paint are next. McNally will return...

Looks great Jim! I should get back to mine some day!

Thanks David! It's been a minute since McNally has had a case on the Forum. ? He will do his best to help Teresa and her kids.

Thank you, Steve, Jim, David, Ray, John and Doyle!
