    I learned long ago to buy two sets of decals, no matter who makes them this batch seemed thick and brittle but I’ve had them a long time, maybe age has something to do with it. Wayne and John, your builds look great. Keeps me from giving up on this one.

    Thanks to everyone, your ideas are greatly appreciated!

    I’m on my second sheet of decals and after about 6 sessions with microsol, several q tips and an exacto blade, and the hair drier, I’m close. The hair drier idea is genius. I can’t get photos to load, but I have a little patch work or touch up to do. I’m hoping the clear coat will help also.

    I’m trying to build the Trojan Horse Mustang Funny car, not the Mustang II, but the early 70s Black Mustang that the Slixx decals are made for. I’m on my second set of decals and I cannot get the hood decal to conform to the hood shape. I’ve tried Microsol Decal Set but it’s not helping. Any suggestions?

    Hers one I did a few years back, I starter with what I call the monogram chassis introduced in 1984. I swapped the two independent axles for a set up that matched the Geordie Bonin car at the time. This was similar to the set used on the Alcohol funny car I crewed on. It was solidly mounted no suspension on the front

    Very nice, I sometimes think we over think the process, and complicate our builds. We end up with several started but unfinished projects setting in boxes. The simplicity of the early AMT kits isn’t appreciated. You’ve captured the time period very well, great build.

    Thanks for the compliment. An 1/8 to 3/16 . Id try the 1/8 first and check it. The front tires touch the body at the front.

    Here’s the Blue Max I built a few years back. Photo shows the front wheels too far forward. I didn’t realize the issue until it was almost finished. I think the best fix is to shorten the frame between the engine and front axle. Neither steering Drag link fit I had to rework it to fit. Too long. Hope this helps
