Great work Michelle!

So very cool!

Thanks Carl

Molotow Chrome on wheels and bumpers. I added lug nuts to rear wheels, I’m not sure what happened to Johan wheels and where the lug nuts went.

Engine coming along, These Fireball Modelworks Holley carbs are amazing.! I need to add, headers, plug wires, carb linkage and fuel lines.

I’m working on the final assembly. I’m trying not to rush it. Interior is waiting for the tachometer, then it’s complete, I used the kits steering wheel, I added the ignition and turn signal stalk. Model Car Garage gages, mustang seats, added seat belts, parts box shifter and a round straight pin for the reverse lock out.

Very Nice!

Back in the day the tin work was anodized aluminum, an easy way to achieve this is to paint the tin work silver as a base, and then paint, Tamiya clear blue over the silver base until you achieve the color to match.

Those look awesome Brett, I love the drag strip !

These are so cool !!!!

Hard getting stuff done lately, here’s an update, scratch built Lakewood roll bar, I liked “Mustang 1998” arm rests, so I scratch built those. Thanks again Joe! I also cut the foot pedals from the 67 Mustang kit and thinned them to look a little more realistic, “don’t know why? they won’t be seen”. I sanded and polished the body, now I need to do the chrome.

It came out great Roger, very nice.

You not alone when it comes to this kit. The front end is just wrong, from the peaks on the fenders, to the missing body contours. I think you did an amazing job considering these things!

Looks great, very well done!

Vertex,

Just for reference, Scheifer mag

It looks like a early Mallory mag to me.

Very well done, very realistic looking.

Very nicely done, I like them all.

Looks great to me!

Thanks Tim, it was a first for me.....hoping that doesn’t happen again.

Its not as slick as yours, I still need to color sand and polish it.

So I had a spare hood and a second resin Grumpys toy hood scoop, And I was hold trying to get parts prices, and I thought I could put a second hood together quicker than waiting for the paint to strip, and if I had a second problem I could decide which hood was best and live with it. So once hobbled together, I primed it with the same primer and then sprayed it with the same rattle can, and no metallic this time. I then cleared it and I’m good to go.

Thanks Francis, it’s good to know it may strip, I’m going to give it a day or two, before I decide.

Right up my alley, making something from nothing! I’ll be watching.
