^^. Those are the ones I meant. I have a few 1:1 49-51 flatheads at home and they are this way. I have never seen the earlier ones or just never noticed. The pic helps with what I was trying to say though. I just swap that whole crossmember in

Yup! The extra effort on the front end paid off. Looks excellent

Also, all you guys are painting the blower snout silver! The whole unit is black from 07-10

I will be converting one of these to 14 specs shortly to match my 1:1

Turned out great for a turd kit. Only nitpick I have is the engine is totally wrong. No FE engines after 70...

When I put a flathead in this frame I cut the front mount from the truck frame and grafted it into the 32 frame. This is mainly because flatheads have the front mount on the front cover

For mirrors, wipers, door handles etc I use my pun vise and drill a small hole in the item and the body where it locates and pin everything in with wire or a styrene dowel. I usually glue the dowel into the part. Leave it long then after the glue is dry I stick it to the body. Glue from inside and then trim the dowel off so it does not interfere with anything inside. Voila! No glue on outside paint

I think it is because you started with a die cast...

That is coming along great. Keep going

There were no cobras after 81. Gt came back in 82 so it would be a turbo gt. The cobra name stuck around as a sticker in canada though. It was on the deck lid of gt's up here as part of a power windows pkg. causes a lot of confusion for many people up here who don't know mustangs inside and out.

I agree with all of that. I just typed that as a general thought lol. I am lazy that way

Would help if we knew what it was.. Lol : )

Did you know it's the same 55 used in American graffiti? The more you know.... Lol

Good lord! The bling just does not end!! Half a day should get Thant cleaned up

Very cool

The boss 351 also has the wrong bumper. It has the plastic painted bumper but all boss 351s had the chrome front bumper

Interesting fact. On Bloomington gold cars the paint runs on the chassis are upside down

My mustang kit stash is pretty good but it's my stash of 1:1s that keeps me pleased. The wife, not so much when I buy... Lol

Very nice. Only thing I would change is to change the top cover to white.

That looks mean!

Good start. I take pics on my I phone and they load sideways. Here is what I do. In the photo album on phone. Click on pic you want. Hit edit. Left lower corner is the spin photo button. Hit 3 times. Then save. Then hit edit again and lower spin button once then save. Then pic should be back where it was originally. Then I upload here and it's normal. It's funky but it works for me. Lol

That's where I am getting the engines from. I may also get a Ross Gibson. Sonnys 732 for it. Wheels are billet specialties street lites from micro nitro. Paint is going to be tu tone but that is a ways away yet. I build the entire car then break it down for paint.

Cobra jets run long tube headers with no cats

It's the revell 67 chevelle. The wheel wells are tiny for the big firestones. Here is what I'm up to so far I stretched them 6mm. Had a spare junk body to get the piece from. Leaning towards a deluxe 604 milodon resin big block. Cowl hood. Maybe efi. Maybe a procharger. Not sure. Just going to get the look I want first

I wanna see that dodge truck..
