Bob, I don't recall the timeline now, but it was a few months. I just recently contacted him to get another hood for the Mustang as I messed up the one that came with the kit. He responded right away and said he'd send one. Haven't gotten it yet, but will wait for it. That is top notch to me. Thanks, Perry

Really pretty, clean. Like the boat tail Riviera in the background. Perry

Nicely done. That would look cool in 1/16th scale too. Perry

Slow progress. Some pics of the chassis. Painted, weathered a bit. I made straps for the gas tank from left over pe fret. Also making exhaust tips from aluminum tube. Perry

Really pretty build. How did you get the chassis to have that grayish look? Really looks nice. Perry

Slow progress. Deciding how to fill in gap between back seat and interior panel. Any suggestions? I'll be seeing the car this week and will take some pictures. I like the color of the exhaust header. It's appliance epoxy stainless steel. Perry

Thanks. Yes, I have a complete Shelby GT-350, and a started fastback kit. The vent panels on the outside rear quarters are boogered up on the fastback. None for the Shelby. Perry

Starting on a build to replicate my sons first car, a 67 Mustang coupe. Got it at 16, still has it. He’s 31 now. I got the Motor City Resins coupe trans kit. It looks great. Started on the wheels. They are drag mags from the 60’s. I got some wheels from member 68 short fleet, Jason. I drilled out the windows like my sons. Need to finish paint aluminum. I do need the side vents as the donor I’m using had them glue bombed in. Can’t retrieve them. One question, the resin kit includes interior panels, but the back parts lack detail. Any suggestions? I’ll try to keep up and post progress as I go. Perry

Had great trades with Mike1017 and bismarck. Recommended traders, thank you for the trades, hope to do more with you both. Perry

Thanks Tim. Tim was very understanding and I appreciate the opportunity to trade with him, he is a recommended trade partner. Hope we can trade again.Thanks again. Perry

Count the tubes on the headers for a clue also. Perry

It's that secret Aston Martin compact they've been talking about. Perry

Take a look at Grand Prix Models online, from England. They may have some wheels and tires. Perry

Had a great trade with Ralph Henderson. Thanks Ralph! Perry

Great trade with AFX. Thanks. perry

Thanks guys. Wish it was shinier, but it's an old pickup. Perry

Finally finished this one. First pickup I've done. Fought me a bit. Had trouble with a clear coat. I use Krylon gloss lacquer and it crazed some for some reason. I've used it before and it worked great, and it dries hard and fast so you can sand and polish it. Pretty happy with it and I have another so I may do a custom. Cut some little pieces of basswood for lumber. Gotta haul something. Perry

UPDATE! I received my 67 Mustang Coupe from Jeff. It looks fantastic. I apologize for jumping on you Jeff. I hope whatever issues you face resolve quickly. I recommend Jeff, his quality is great. Just be patient. I hope to get some more from him. Take care Jeff. Thanks, Perry

I agree they are small. I do 1/43 stuff too, and even the big parts are small. A magnifying visor, and toothpicks help. If you set the PE fret on masking tape, painters tape, then cut the parts, they don't fly. Just take an Xacto knife under the part and slowly pick up. Having a PE folding tool is great too. Perry

Looks great, turned out well. I have a couple of these, the Ebbro version and the 1/12 version. I want to day a Rob Walker livery on one of these. One day. Perry

Thanks for the tip. Didn't mean to crash this post... Carry on. Perry

Another update. I will have to try some more charcoal on the seat. It seemed to tone it down some, but not enough. Have it up on 4 wheels now, I weathered the bed rails a little. I like the PE set for this, except the nose of the hood. Not quite right, but OK. Perry

Sharp, like the two tone. Perry

It effectively lengthens the body and keeps the air on it longer and smooths it out. With the square boxy bodies, the air breaks up and creates turbulence, and drag. Same idea as diffusers for the underside on a lot of cars today. Perry
