  1. Green 75 ish Monte Carlo snap kit has them. Just add the spinners. Dig around the truck section and find my 50 ford truck wip. It has them. I left the centers chrome and put Pegasus hoops on the rears
  2. That is the old mclaren m81 kit. Mustang nose, capri ish fenders and 79-82 capri taillights. It's a funny kit because the fenders have capri bumps but mustang wheel arches
  3. If you need a set of 4 valve cam covers pm me. I love these 4 valve mod motors. they respond to boost well. I have a few 1:1s
  4. I am with you. a whole build usually revolves around what mill I have been thinking about lately
  5. I dunno. I know from mustang experience I cant just take a fender from one 66 mustang and put it straight on another without some fiddling around. all cars have slight variences and I think this cuda kit looks very nice. I will build a ton of them in many variations. be careful what you ask for sometimes. models are by design for kids! lol not us grown men to nit pick them. we have gone a looong time without some cool new offerings and I dont think we should bite the hand that feeds us.
  6. thanks alot guys. The headlights were easy. grille not so much. the body was really nice to work with. I have several of the perrys bodies. my 48 ford is on his website gallery. I am currently working on another 37. it should be fun too.
  7. I can take wheels #3 off your hands........ seriously though, I think you are headed the right direction
  8. This is going to be sick! Beautiful work. I can only hope this is going to be hooked to a nice 4 valve : )
  9. Coming along nicely.
  10. Thanks Tyrone, I have a bunch of the rm cars and have an idea for a 68 so I am very interested in this build
  11. Thanks guys. Going to work on the interior until the parts start rolling in. I can't paint the body until I know what I have to do to mount the procharger and fab up an intercooler
  12. I assume that is the Amt 68? How does it mate up with the rm 69 chassis and firewall etc?
  13. I NEED that rod shop vette
  14. Zen. That 86 rs is sweet! I have an 84rs 5.0 t top car in special order med canyon red, an 85 rs 5.0 t top car in med canyon red. Both of those have red interior and were built 1 yr apart by the build stickers. I also have a Canadian only 85 gs 5.0 solid roof base model with no air dam. Chrome trim base seats etc. It is smoke grey with red/ black spring special interior( only offered for 3 months in 85) also one of 179 radio delete cars. 150 of those became mclaren coupes. With all the oddities and door sticker to back it up. Kevin Marti figures it is the only one built in that configuration!! I drive it now but will be restoring it to stock shortly. All are 5 speed cars as well I love capris! Lol
  15. I built this a while ago. its a perrys resin body. mini cooper headlights, molded panel between tail lights, custom grille,flush fit glass. paint is a lincoln color with ppg clear. engine is a 427 side oiler which has been wired. only real mods to frame is lowering the suspension a bit. exhaust was run up high rather than under frame. thanks for looking.
  16. that one piece glass irritated me so I figured I might as well make use of it. I am adding styrene to the open spots. then I will add dome light and visors. should make a nice drop in part. I made the masks so I can spray it black once I texture it. I took out the molded in battery. it will be in the trunk. I figured I may need the room as a procharger hangs off that side of the engine on a 440. I took the washer resivoir off too as it looks terrible. a clear charger piece will be installed as well as the wiper motor. this is a street car remember lol
  17. hood roughed in. it will be semi gloss black. mini tubs top side that nobody sees closer view. I am pretty happy. should fit a 325 drag radial pretty nice nicer dana 60 fits pretty nice lots of room. I was using these and convo pros but stepping up to something way nicer
  18. That looks pretty good with that green! Keep it up
  19. Yeah the blue stuff is junk! I use straight bleach. I just did the entire tree from a 427 cobra and no lie. I dunked it and in ten seconds it was all off!!
  20. Yup that's the stuff. It's possible I just got a dud. It's the only bottle out of several that did it. That canopy glue Is good stuff too
  21. Very well done. Detail on rear window is good as is work on rear where bumper goes
  22. I think the stuff I have is testors funny shaped container purple label. I'm at work or I would snap a pic. It's good stuff. Dries crystal clear. Can use it to make windows too it says but have not tried. My only gripe is shelf life. It seems to go yellow if it's old. I did some headlights with an old batch and within a few days they yellowed
  23. That is the glue I use as well. That's why I hold stuff with tape.
  24. I still have to wire that distributor for you so when I take pics of that I will show you what I mean I got sidetracked on my super bee
