    Always great to see Stock and Super Stock cars built in scale. For some reason these Mustangs are not very common starting points for S or SS cars in 1:1 scale so it's always good to see one. Yours turned out very nice. Great looking detailing in the engine bay and I think you captured the look of an NHRA Super Stocker perfectly.

    Thanks, and you're right, not many early Mustangs in S or SS classes. Had to research the SS cars of Alex Denysenko's "MoneyMaker" and Bobby Fazio's '64 1/2 Mustang super stocker for ideas, details etc....

    Very, VERY sharp--you really captured the flavor of these things. Is it a model of a real car? Well done and model on! B)

    Just one I had in my head. I did look at several pictures of 1:1 Super Stock Mustangs for details.

  3. This Ford F-1 is painted Testors Mythical Maroon and Duplicolor Cashmere Beige, covered with Testors new clear coat. It was dropped into the weeds by using the dropped front axel and trimming the front and rear leaf springs. The 351 Windsor is actually the 1/24 289 From the Revell GT 350 Shelby Mustang ( with the slightly larger scale 289 it represents a 1:25 scale 351 Windsor very well!) The seats are from a Plymouth Prowler, parts box steering wheel and tilt steering from the metal part of an old brush ( looks like a tilt steering wheel ). The wheels and tires are from the new Revell '55 Chevy and look good for this model kit (IMHO). Wooden bed was done by painting with dark tan, dry brushing with Testers Rust, covered that with clear yellow and sealed with Future floor finish.Still need to finish the exhaust and add rear taillights, turn signals and licence plate. BTW, has anybody ever got the hood to fit just right on these F-1 kits?????post-662-1219470481_thumb.jpg

  4. Found the Merc at my local Wally World last night. They were still boxed in the shipping carton, I had an employee open the box to see whats inside....low and behold, the Mercs! Grabbed two of the four in the case, still hoping to run across the Dodge truck, but no luck yet.
