Bud, very nice work! Looking forward to that motor build-up. Charlie Pro Tech

Len, the wash process I use is as follows - Use Polly Scale "Night Black" mixed at a ratio of 10% paint, 45% alcohol and 45% water. Brush this over the carb. until you get the desired effect. Next use a small brush and a ratio of about 50/50 (paint/alcohol and water) and flow this into the venturi area (the four bore openings), let this dry for about 30 mins. then dip a Q-Tip in stright alcohol and lightly wipe off any black that might be on the top of the booster venturi (the small tube in the very center of the bore) and your done! Charlie Pro Tech

Chris, thanks for your kind comments. This is the first model I've built for myself in years and having a great time doing so. I also have a few early funny cars I want to get to in the near future. Gregg, can you move this thread to "Drag Racing Models" Thanks! Charlie Pro Tech

Well I have made a little more progress with the Mustang. The chassis is finished and the motor has been installed along with braided lines, hex fittings, etc. etc. I’m working on the paint scheme for the body and will post those pics in the future. As always, thanks for looking! Charlie Pro Tech

Body looks super, I remember seeing the actual car many times back in the day. Charlie Pro Tech
