Wow this sucks to hear... Ive got over 100 of his hoods, and various other parts too..... Very nice casting, and no issues what so ever.

On both of my work benches I have 18" florescent fixtures from walmart, $24.99 and they light it up very nicely. I would show a picture of my bench but I am at work 18 hrs from home.

I just got a couple more Trumpeter 63 Nova Hardtops 1 from a trade and 1 from ebay Also got some new parts for my 1:1 63 Nova Satin finish Weiand 142 Supercharger

congrats on the wins! Really hoping I can make it next year. Im actually to the point of finishing a few here and there.

I ordered 4 almost 2 years ago.... still waiting, lol

TS52. I buy it by the case, lol. It looks good on everything!

Thanks for the comments guys. I just got home from work ( 2 week in a fly in camp) and im itchin to finish this one. Should have an update in the next couple days.

Got my 1:1 out of storage, and put the new wheels/tires on!

Sorry for the horrible pics, cant see to get the camera to work with me. Body for the most part is finished, I still need to do the rubbers along the top of the roof.

Not Model related.... but I got the Plates for my 1:1 63 Nova 2door Hardtop today! ( no pics of car as it is still in storage, and pieces) Nova translates to "does not go" or "No go" ........ Its motivated by a 450hp 383 Stroker , soon to receive a Weiand 142 blower plate seemed fitting

any chance you can take a picture of the rust stuff that you got from Micheals? very good looking build so far, loving the weathering would really like to give it a try myself .

Got the front Grille surround decal in place. I don't know what Id do without Micro sol, that decal definatly would not have went down this smooth. All cleared and ready for final polish and assembly/

Got started on the interior/ various black parts. A buddy used to have a cool shifter on his Mustang GT.... so I used a custom etched piece to replicate it

Great Success! More updates later on!

Bumper and Spoiler separated, Both are in Primer now and waiting for paint.

Well, a couple of complications have reared their ugly head...... 2 Areas of difficulty have been the Rear diffuser and front "chin spoiler" Both were masked with Tamiya yellow tape, which I never have bleed issues with. Both areas are a bit harder to mask because of the contours. The rear is fixable, I can just mask sand and respray the actual bumper and it will clean up good. The front however I am taking a different approach. I have a half case of these kits, as I want to use a few of them for donors etc. I will be removing the chin spoiler from the messed up bumper and repainting it, I will then use a good undamaged chin spoiler from a donor kit, and paint it separately and attatch it to the good bumper. It should have been done in 2 pieces from Revell in *My Opinion, such as the 2010 Camaro SS fascia assembly was.

Sorry about the horrible lighting, the florescent light above my bench burnt out. I got the rest of the Hood and side stripes done. The small fender top stripe was the hardest, but eventually layed down nice with some decal softner/set. The Decals look a bit off, however they line up perfectly with the front bumper attached to push it up a bit. Bumpers have been painted and a first shot of clear. I still need to add the stripe to the upper grille surround. Also the front lip and rear diffuser are all masked and ready for a shot of black.

Nope, I will not be there this year. I leave for work on the 7th and am not home until the 22nd.

Haha, I actually really like the new Mustangs. Ive got probly 25-30 kits from the first 05- 07/10 Shelby, 08 Bullit, '10 convertible, etc. Im Just using Testors one coat "Wet Look Clear" wetsanded and polished.

These ones that I use do not grip hard enough to leave indentations. I get them at a clearance store, they have a magnifying glass on a third arm in the middle, but I remove that and make it a paint stand I had actually thought of painting it Body color, but decided to go with matte black instead. Thanks for the comments everyone, So far I am really liking this kit!

Got the hood decaled up, and shot the first layer of clear. also Painted the Chassis. I used " Italian Olive" which looks fairly close.Im happy with it.

Just got a few of these in the mail today, couldn't wait had to start on one. I removed the few mold lines that there were, the body was really nice, not much work needed. I was going to go with "gotta have it green" but decided to just use Tamiya Lime Candy instead. I will be building it like the boxart using the decals. I will be lowering it a bit, and replacing the tires for sure.

^ YES! I have put them on the SRT8 6.1l Hemi, as well as the LS3 Camaro engine. Very nice superchargers. I would post pics, but I am up at work 18 hrs from home.

Cant wait to get mine! I bought an Aoshima Lambo Aventador, and cast the tire set, specifically for this project! Very nice Pirellis with nice tread, nice and meaty out back , and very nice sidewall detail.

haven't really done much lately, been too busy. However I did get the body in paint this week. Sorry for the low quality Camera Phone pics, and messy bench.
