Maindrian Pace

The Hemi was under the glass, then over, then under, then over, then under again.

Great lines and stance, sits just perfect.

No problems thus far. The key to making almost anything live: Keep it in the shade.

Ambitious!

Looks good, but can you get some outdoor natural light pics? The details are hard to see.

Cool, nice job opening the doors and hatch.

What a nice job, the exhaust manifolds - among other things, look great.

Hey, 2016 Camrys are pretty nice.

Looks great Ray, I like the B scheme. Never saw one in real life, but I did spot a nice A scheme on a trailer last Wednesday heading west down the 202.

I started this in '94 when the kit was new. I was going for a latter-day McLaren concept, and de-uglifying the new Mustang. I will finish it soon. I'll probably tone the wing down a bit.

I had a friend in the '80s/'90s, since passed away, that used to drink with Von Dutch at the Mill Avenue bridge in Tempe when he lived in Scottsdale back in the early '70s. He told me many stories about his personality, none of them particularly pleasant. Guy had a lot of problems by then.

Very sharp and correct conversion!

I restored this one from a built kit around 25 years ago.

You were 12 when you did that? Amazing! I wouldn't risk a paint reaction with the clear coat, just polish it lightly and preserve it. Tucking the rear tires into the flares wouldn't be a bad thing, though.

You don't say? I used a maybe 15 year old can of Aluma Yellow pearl on this Ford, and it turned out to be the same color. I call it "Nuclear Waste". I used the same can years earlier on a 1:1 dipstick handle, and it came out the correct color. That paint either doesn't age well, or ages very well; depending on how you look at it.

None are my builds, but all built around the time the kits were new.

Try DVAP.

Bob, When I looked this morning, they were gone - little torn picture icons. I just figured it was the usual ten year-old thread stuff. But they are there now, and it looks just as nice as the original reviews had it.

Right on, Dwayne, that's already a big improvement in proportioning. The molding process is a little stressful, mainly in pulling the inner mold out of the body after it is pulled from the outer because it flexes the sides out slightly. But there are tricks to make it hold together: I use thin (maybe .010") sheet aluminum garden flashing and super glue a piece over any joint; plastic to plastic, and especially plastic to resin, as with this Mustang body. Narrow pieces were added behind all spliced pillars, then worked in with red spot putty to smooth the inside of the body surfaces - also important to make de-molding the master and copies as easy on them as possible.

Beautiful job, it all comes together as well as any factory effort. Great lines, and a very appropriate color combination too. A++. Did anyone save any pictures of the OP's model? I never saw it, and it's long gone.

Prime time! Finally got the body in a decent state, time to see it all in one glorious shade of Plastikote T-235. Just a little more body work to go yet. This right side curved upper door character line was obliterated for some reason, so I gave it some new definition. The start of a Cammer: I had the original '67 interior bucket, rear seat, and dash, but nothing else. Add to that a '65 Galaxie steering wheel, buckets, and console. I was going to go for a racier interior with a roll bar, race buckets, no console or rear seat, etc, but I decided to make it a bit more streetable.

I believe that the curved rear 1/4 windows makes that a Superior Criterion ambulance.
