I use several plastic storage cases, with separate compartments. One for wheels and tires, one for engines and parts, and one for suspension parts. Bodies and larger parts, like floor pans and frames go into a large plastic basin with a lid.

That’s one fine looking Torino you built there. I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t a 1:1 car. The details are jaw dropping. I can’t believe the work you put into the dash. I never really like these types of wheels in general, but I must say, they look right at home on this build.

One of my favorite cars of the 60s. The paint really looks fantastic. Nice job on the exhaust detail. Is that foil tape you used on the pipes?

Great work on the cage. Those wheels are going to look nasty on this car. The rear wheels are very similar to the set I used on a 66 Impala.

The eBay link that Bill posted is not Rick Lucas decals. It’s Bruce Sadewater, who used to work with Lucas, but is operating solo now. I’ve bought his stuff, and had zero problems. He has some nice decals that no one else carries.

Bill, doesn’t the Melrose Missle come with the auto trans, and the Flash with the 4 speed??

Where are you getting the decals for the Monster Mash, if you decide to build it?

Well Snake... after reading your post, I just ordered myself the California Flash kit. Should be here in three days. Thanks for the idea ?

Looking good. I gotta get me one of these kits.

Hey Snake... there was a pretty recent article Tim Boyd did on a build up of these Moebius 65 kits in Scale Auto Mag. He used the A990 California Flash. Very nice project you have planned.

Now that’s what I’m talking about!!! Very cool build going on here. I know a lot of people don’t go for the tubbed out, pro street look, but nothing beats a 55 like it. I have one of these started, and stored away, that I should bring out, and actually finish.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I appreciate it.

Thanks Curt... it’s Tamiya TS-58 Pearl Light Blue, sprayed from the can.

Does anyone know if there is a pre sale of this kit anywhere?

After realizing I had enough parts, including resin tail lights, to build a complete Fairlane from my extra parts, I finished this up yesterday. I scribed out the extra lines in the front grill to try to make it look like an actual 67. It’s not perfect, but it’s done.

Exactly, Niko, we think alike. My plans for it will be, a brutally fast, small tired drag car, with a factory paint scheme, with no decals, except on the rear windows. Tracking indicates mine will arrive tomorrow.

I’m just excited about the A/FX Comet that scheduled to be released in early 2019. A Maverick would be sweet though. I for one, would buy a few of them.

I’d definitely buy the Maverick. I’m constantly looking online and on eBay hoping to get one, even a glue bomb that I could rebuild. All too pricey though.

Really nice 57 you built there, Rick. Very clean. That red really pops.

Did you watch the video? There is some nice footage of the 427 engine.

For some reason, I can’t post a photo, but the 66 Fairlane 427 looks very similar to this one. Except the bird is molded where the orange “427” decal is, but could be sanded off.

Wow.. this is going to be a nice build. Just love big Fords. I’d love to get my hands on a 67, but a bit too pricey for me right now. Even IF I could find one. I’ve always used the AMT Starliner engine, or the parts from it I might need. It has the best looking fuel components, IMHO. That air cleaner looks similar to the AMT 66 Fairlane 427. I’ll definitely be following this one.

Thanks for the compliment. I bought them from Scenes Unlimited.

Ahh I see you are having the same problem I am with my 65. The supplied slicks and white wall tires supplied just won’t cut it. Have you considered red line tires from AMT? I’m probably going to go this route, with steel rims, and the dog dish hub caps from the 66 Fairlane 427.
