I would love a closer look at those valve covers. Soooo nice

Looks good. This is a nice kit but it takes some work to make it very nice. You have it headed that way with ease!

Very nice work

Trunk jamb roughed in.

I am taking the 428 from the 69 cj kit. It's a tad small but once it is detailed out I won't look too bad. I could have went the easy route and just done a shaker on the Cleveland as the other 48 cars had that. I like to do things the hard way. Like the lawman that will be coming soon...

That's where I got my decals too. I have already done the Torino twister a while back. Next will be one of the 4 twister rancheros...

That's gross. Most of them could be fixed I guess

Hey guys. I have decided to build a mustang since I have not done one in a while. It's a replica of one of the 96 twister specials built. They were all grabber orange with black interior. They were all supposed to be 428 cobra jets but only 48 were. This one is one of the 428 4 speed super cobra jet cars. I opened the doors and trunk. All cars had shaker hoods so I started with a flat boss 302 hood and made one along with the twist locks. I also modified the rear valence for the rectangular tips these had

Looks like a fairly well detailed little kit.

I hate new camaros but you sir have changed that! I will be watching this unfold. Btw do you still need mustang glass? I forgot

I wish I had the build time some of you have. I have a 14 yr old and 11 yr old that play hockey. Add that to my work schedule and I get no build time. I can't wait to see this in color

You are kidding right??

I know I hove it! You are making me hate that I sold my 68 383 4 speed notchback though : (

Hundred percent

Lol. I have decided to do both as I thought about how it may look funny with one done. I will start a WIP shortly. Car is a 70 Mach 1 428 scj 4 speed in grabber orange btw

Thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty sure I have these bases covered. Last 2 yrs at this contest I have taken 7 trophies : ). Just want to take it to another level more to test myself

So far I have scribed the drivers open, shaved the edges for a thinner appearance, thinned the rear of the fender and have added thin styrene back around the door edge to tighten the gap yet still allow for paint. Does that take me out of butter knife status? Lol I must add that I hinged it to open into the fender like the 1:1

Hey guys. I am looking for a pre made or for Somone to make me a scale trunk mat for a 70 Mach 1 I am starting. Anything out there?

I am a pretty slow builder lol. The jambs are what will take the time I think.

Hey guys. I am starting a build for a local contest/ show in April. They are having a 50 yrs of mustang class with an award for best mustang. Soooo, since I am a mustang but with several 1:1s guess what I am going for? Lol. Anyway. My question is this. What do you guys prefer open one door on a build or do both as not to look lazy? I have drivers door pretty much working in under an hour but I just need some input. I only have 2 months and some of you have seen my bee and it's been nearly a yr in progress lol

With an 11.30 time on the window I doubt we will see a power adder engine either. Gt40 intake and long tube headers I bet. Lol. What we can't see are the trick flow heads, x303 cam and 4:10s haha

I think so yup. But at this point then the body hood mirrors front and rear valences chassis pan and interior bottom could all go for paint if it the chassis and interior bottom have to go anyway

I could live with 1. Would really tie in the white/blue stripe and white interior

You bet. Same cover as used on the 67/8 390 gt fairlanes and mustangs. There were 3 variations of the aluminum cover as well. I knew that before Google was around though : ). Back on topic! Lol

That's some good info right there. Being a ford guy but closet dodge enthusiast that will come in handy I will turn back with some trivia. Know what happened with the 428 cobra jet on feb 14 1969? It is valve cover related...
