  1. Super clean build Fred, I love the color combo, engine, tires, stance, really everything you've done with it. It's truly one of a kind, and it reminds me of back in the '90s when a lot of guys learned the hard way that you just don't mess with a Mustang that looks like that. -MJS
  2. Ha! now that's cool, and a lot of work, notice the re-sculptured header panel for deeper grille and headlights, the frenched bumpers, and the early style door handles, among other mods. Lots of time there. -MJS
  3. Very nice work, I've always admired the styling of the MK 10 Jag-u-wire. -MJS
  4. Ryan, It's going to be a little of both; I think mainly a kit rear window/hatch section from either MPC or Revell - whichever is more realistic - with plenty of Evergreen, a hatch area insert, and a new vacuform window unit. With a lot of this stuff, you just sort of invent it as you go along. -Mike
  5. I'm glad that everyone likes this body, it's been quite an experience from beginning to end. When the current pickup project is built, work will begin on the hatch version. -MJS
  6. Fantastic restoration, and the latest issue of HMM is right next to me: -MJS
  7. Thanks guys. It was detailed with silver paint and painted wide whitewalls when it was given to me to restore, the owner wanted it brought back to stock. On a $300-$500 promo, you just don't do BMF or any other detailing, you get the Modelhaus straightened resin version and do it to that. -MJS
  8. Great show, and lots of stuff I just couldn't seem to leave without. Sad-eyed, weird orphan stuff. Bone dry on the way home, but 30 minutes later... yeah. -MJS
  9. Very nice Al. I've got one of those in the Coke livery, I bought it new at Toys R Us maybe 10 years ago. I like your remake better, I've always wondered what to do with mine. -MJS
  10. I'm with Greg on that one, a few well placed red or gray primer spots will make it look like a '70s street machine still being driven in the '80s. -MJS
  11. Looking real, I just picked the kit up at today's swap meet. Very nice job and color combo. -MJS
  12. Super sano, a True Blue '32, and sits just right. Driving that would be something else, too. -MJS
  13. It's a little Photoshop fun someone had, but I think it looks great as a custom Fox Rod. -AZB
  14. Beautiful, so '50s and so jet age, I always remembered the '59 Mercury as the car with the rockets on the sides. -MJS
  15. The Thunderbolts were originally equipped with a single exhaust so they could be driven home. That was obviously the first part to be removed. No factory T-bolt single exhaust systems are known to exist. -MJS
  16. Precisely. You park in the least noticeable way to avoid vandalism. It's surprising how many people that doesn't occur to. -MJS
  17. Whenever you see a Lada in a Russian dash cam video, it will most likely be wrecked seconds later. -MJS
  18. Thanks Matt. Prime time! A little more body work to the bed, and I think I'll narrow the rear flares a little more, then it's off to the chassis shortening and build. -MJS
  19. I miss the old Top Gear when they did zany stuff like this, just not the same show anymore. -MJS
  20. Beautiful job, great combination of new and old kits and sits just right. -MJS
  21. Chrome Tech: Alclad is nice, but it looks like polished aluminum. Nothing looks more like chrome than vacuum metallizing. -MJS
  22. It'll happen, but with limited modeling time and other promised projects, it's in the queue. -MJS
  23. Outstanding, Tyrone. Nobody stances drag cars like you. -MJS
