Slowly adding little things as the paint dries. Installed the park lights and rear tail lamps. Air intake. Be adding license plate, mirrors and wipers this weekend. Oh and making a fuel cell as I cut out the gas tank when I modified the frame for the bigger wheels and tires. anyone remember “blue dots?”

Thank you Street Rod. This is actually my first custom. Had a idea of how I would want one built and here it is. A cool looking ride with a little horsepower and reliable. I did not know if the old would go with the new, but it seemed to work.

Thank you mrm

Thank you Jantrix

Thank you ModelcarJR

Thank you Ray

Added the sidepipes. I was wondering if it would work, I like it.

Thank you FLHCAHZ

Lights, bumpers installed. Painting the wipers and mirror black. Sidepipes are black also. Falling into place.

Well here it is so far. Chassis mounted to the body. Still have to put a few suspension things. Bumpers and mirrors, and it’s complete. Oh I’m adding sidepipes. Will be finished this weekend. Maybe. Hot August Nights here in Reno. I am invited from a friend to attend the shows. Arranged the bodywork and paint on this car. It’s been several years but it’s getting there. Has been entered for cruzing.

I believe this is the best combination of color in a late Shelby mustang. Classy GT

Well now that the cobra is painted and I put a radiator in my jeep, I can continue on the merc. Put the interior in. Set the front bumper and grill to see what it looks like. On to the body. Not much more to go.

New puppy. She might need a few more toys.

Yes sir this is true. But my friend Bob schooled me on model purchases. I buy from our local IPMS meeting or a IPMS contest with a swap meet. Some guys are really proud of their kits but you can find some really good deals at a swap meet or your local IPMS meeting. Bought a old Johan kit for $5

Thank you Ray, rubbed out the body. Comming out nicely.

Polished trunk lid.

P. S. I am charging $1000 to do these and have had crazy responses from all over the world to paint them. I just threw a number out there so crazy that I did not think anyone would respond but I was wrong. I have so many cars to do I just might retire and just do these. I have one guy that wants me to do three. Crazy is a understatement. I remember my first real car I painted I only charged $300 to paint it.

Sir I will make you a deal you cannot refuse. I will paint your car any color you want for free. Just post your build and let me know if you want to do it.

Painted a 1/8 agora 427 cobra black for my friend Mark.

Thank you Claude.

Hello Ray, painted the agora 427 cobra of my friend Mark. Black like the mfh kit I did. Going to look really mean. I have a list of cobras that people all over the world want painted. Who knew this would be something to do.

Had to stop on the 49 for a few. Took time to paint a 1/8 427 cobra. For my friend Mark. A big project. A big model. Did not want to mess it up. Very expensive kit. It came out good so back on the merc.
