That direct injection experimental engine is nuts, the injection pump running off of the timing gear, the twin plug setup, one through the top, one in the conventional location, the saw tooth valve covers that resemble the old Mopar poly family, it would be an involved scratch building project but very unique. -MJS

Great fab work, that body looks dead-on accurate in those pics. -MJS

Thanks again for the nice words, guys. Depending on how this goes, quite possibly. I'd like to do a convertible with both up and down tops, and a hatch back. If I do a hatch, I'd love to do a '93 Cobra, since the Monogram version is hard to look at. -MJS

I've got one of Kevin's conversion kits for the Cobra II, it's great. Someone makes the decals, but I forget who. -MJS

Fantastic! Perfect in theme and execution. Also reminds me of a Weesner work. -MJS

I dropped the Mustang off to the Master Caster on Saturday. We talked about models, resin casting, the hobby, real cars and trucks, and future projects, scale and otherwise. Greg didn't let any weeds grow under it, and it's in-process. To see how casters who know what they are doing cast, check the thread on the SMCBoP site. http://smcbofphx.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rs&action=display&thread=1848 -MJS

How did the Aztec and the Town Car score the same number? Who were the 1,500 licensed drivers surveyed, hipsters on Mephedrone? -MJS

Yeah, it's had a few "adjustments". -MJS

Looks nice, Jeff. With a few bench sessions, it can become my '60 Comet. -MJS

Thanks Gentlemen, We will be starting the process in the next few days, and updates will follow as progress is made. -Mike S.

Excellent rendition of one of Ford's prettiest ever cars. The Motip paint is a dead ringer for Rangoon red. -MJS

I bought one of those too, but mine has entirely different cheesey graphics. It's kind of primitive, but everything opens. -MJS

Tree looks like a Eucalyptus, more Aussie clues. -MJS

And with the cat now bagless, here is the finished car ready for casting. So the rest of the build thread will have to wait, but I think this is a good enough reason. -MJS

I like everything about it! -MJS

This man approves. -MJS

No Vamos. -MJS

Cool build, the Hemi is unexpected, the "427 Powered" decals make it into something of a sleeper... -MJS

Simmer down, Cliff. Why is this becoming a "My country is better than yours" yawnfest? We are all better drivers than the Russians, how about we leave it at that. -MJS

Like my driver, the engine will be a bone stock 5.0 with automatic and air. After a few more rounds of micro-sanding and priming, I'm calling the body work done. The final step is to get the window glass in order. I'm modifying the stock glass to be used as vacuform masters, this involves lengthening them with plastruct and using super glue/accelerator and glazing putty as filler. I've never done this before, so hopefully I'm on the right track. -MJS

That Thames was my first Revell kit build from the late '70s. Yours came out a bit better! -MJS

Sharp, tight looking build. The mods are just right, aggressive yet tasteful. The Range Rover style fender vents are a nice touch. -MJS

Great build on a seldom seen model. Love the back ground too. -MJS

Ambitious... I like it. -MJS

They were scrapped in Jan 1968. Chrysler tried to give as many as possible to museums, but few were interested. Import duties of a few hundred dollars a car had nothing to do with it, they were scrapped for liability reasons just like concept cars have been before and since. -MJS
