While not sedans, '67 Galaxie XL promos can be had pretty reasonably, the hoods are molded separately, and the chassis from '65 or '66 kits are correct for them - so they are a good basis for a model style build.

Interior came together pretty well. I like how the center A/C vents on this dash are pointed at the driver and passenger. Admittedly, I've been laying low on this project because I'm not crazy about masking for two tone paint jobs. Or really paint jobs in particular. The spoon test looked promising: So the silver was applied first. Next: Blue.

A builder on another forum got a pretty good start on a 1:25 Gigahorse, I stumbled upon it a few weeks back, but I can't find it now. An impressive 1:10 scale R/C build was spotted on Pinterest, however.

The kit firewall is detailed, but it's all 100% bogus "detailing" that doesn't even come close to resembling the real car. The only thing that does look sort of close is the heater blower motor, so I'd cut that off and add it to the resin firewall. With a master cylinder and power booster and the spring tower braces, it will look pretty good when done. -MJS

A factory, mid engine, Boss 429/automatic Mach 1 fastback? I'm intrigued. -MJS

They seem to be about as common as White Castle around these parts.

Wow, Love the unusual details on the '34, like the spotted interior and the yoke-driven alternator. Super creative.

I've got a pile of Car and Driver from the '80s and '90s, I'll probably just dump them into the recycle bin.

A KIng Handler, very creative!

The AMT '79 Bronco in either original or cool retro box art would be peachy.

Think that's good? DPS used to be really sneaky in the '90s. They had a few mid-'90s Thunderbirds with tinted windows, metallic paint, wire wheel covers, and whitewall tires running up and down the 60. The speeders never stood a chance; when one of those came behind you and you saw the red and blue wig-wags behind the grille, you were pretty well hosed. They also had a few dark-colored Monte Carlos. People complained, as people do.

Righteous. I like the general shape of the 46s better, but the 48s are very aggressive.

Far out, Man.

Just got mine in from an ebay seller in Japan. I replaced the white plastic bushing with a 5x11mm ball bearing (the most common size in Tamiya R/C cars) left over from my old R/C days. Nice little drill, really torquey too. Sure beats spinning drill bits with my fingers.

I have a pay Photobucket account. The service and speed are much better than when I used it for free, and pic views in a forum are infinitely allowable.

Looks great, love the gas stain on the cab 1/4. Great diorama scene, really brings the model to life.

'73-'74 and '75-'77 are different. I don't have any others, but Kris Morgan of M.A.D. Resin offers both styles, very cleanly cast. I've seen them, recommended. -MJS

I like it! The Nova sedan delivery is one of the most natural looking phantoms yet devised. Like the Falcon delivery, it should have been produced. Great job.

Just the thing for my morning commute!

That roof rack's the business.

The Mark VII was shortened to fit the T bird chassis, and the body has to be lengthened in the front section of the rear 1/4 panels. The trunk would also have to be re-contoured once the stretch was made. Tricky mods to be sure. I contemplated doing this long ago for a replica stock MK VII, but never did it. Then, a resin caster (AAM?) did it, and it was a nice looking conversion. OOP for a long time now.

Never heard of a 428 FT. FT usually stands for Ford Truck, and was used for the truck-only 360, as well as larger displacement engines in heavy trucks. In Cobras, only FE series engines were used in the big block cars. Some had 427s, and others had 428 PI (police interceptors) due to supply problems with the racier 427. They appear nearly identical under the hoods of Cobra, with the same intake, exhaust, and valve covers.

I built the Quicksilver as a kid, and it was one of my favorite cars. I always thought that it was pure genius on Tom Daniel's part to use El Camino doors on the sedan delivery body for the slanted B pillars, which takes a lot of the blockiness away and gives it a sleeker custom look. Someday I'll build another one.

Wow, that's the ultimate Ultimate.
