TooOld

Well done !! I met him at Daytona one year walking thru the garage area , great guy .

Very Kewl ! Great job and I think you nailed the look !

Great job an a beautiful Cougar , always been one of my favorites and I like your color choice ! I'm planning a similar build in the future , any hiccups using the Mustang as a donor ?

Man that's nice ! Beautiful color and excellent trim work !

Another great body style from the mid 60's , I'm sure some will nit-pick at the body in this kit but I like it ! Thanks for the photos !

Looks like a really nice kit , thanks for posting photos of the parts !

That Daytona Yellow is gonna look sharp ! I like that Revell tooled separate parts for the taillight surrounds and the front grille piece , nice .

Well done Dave , it's not goofy it's just different . . . I like it ! I agree that gold paint looks great and I also like that purple too , not surprised you had to decant it . Rustoleum has the worst nozzles ever so I avoid there paint whenever possible .

Thanks Ray ! Spent the weekend working on the chassis . From everything I can find it looks like MGB's had their chassis painted all black , very boring so this will be a little different . I started by patching the holes left by grinding on the chassis plate . Then it was sprayed with red oxide primer , masked and sprayed with gloss black . The suspension parts were also sprayed gloss black . The chassis was assembled out of the box and just picked out some details with paint . The front suspension is assembled but won't be glued to the chassis until later . Here's the finished chassis with the front suspension in place for the photos .

It turned out beautiful John , nice clean look and in my favorite color too ! Appears the hood clearance issues were resolved , congrats .

Great save Tim , the color and your trim work are beautiful ! AMC really did make some great looking body styles back then .

Beautiful Impala John , love that color ! Looks like you managed the foil issue just fine . Too bad we have to deal with such things , just remember we're all going through the same thing . Like everything else I suppose with some practice it will get better .

Superb collection Bob ! It's really nice to see some one building these early examples of true classics , well done ! I just glanced at your posted topics and there's a bunch of great stuff there .

Thanks David ! I didn't come up with that idea , I saw it on line .

Thanks Daniel ! All of the MGB photos I can find online show the front being higher than the rear , I know very little about these cars but it must be the way they were designed . Looks good like that but my personal taste is for the front to be lower .

I saw this done in a video on youtube and it seemed easy enough so I decided to lower the front ride height a little using 1mm strip . Here's a before and after . And a photo with the front lowered .

Thanks much Carl !

That's a real beauty Perry ! Hard to believe there's no kit of such a beautiful sports car , I'd sure buy one !

This is some really fantastic work Jim , your modeling has improved sooooo much over the years ! All those little details like the pedals are what will make this one a trophy winner !

Working on the interior this morning . Here's the parts from C1 , all very cleanly molded with no clean up required . Also included is a left-hand dashboard , correct mirrors , and a nice PE set . Note the folding rear seat . The modification to the Aoshima parts require the removal of the shaded areas on the chassis plate and removing the rear portion of the interior . I started to use a razor saw but switched to my Dremel , more clean up but it's so much quicker . Here's the interior taped together and sitting on the chassis . I slipped everything into the body and it fits beautifully ! Other than cutting the windows out of the supplied sheet that's all there is to the conversion . . . very very simple !

Thanks , it should go together quickly . Thanks David . If I call them Rallye wheels in the future excuse me , force of habit . Thanks Carl !

Ooops sorry 'bout that .

Great color JR ! That kit has one of the nicest looking small blocks kitted . I built one years ago and I'm pretty sure there were no clearance issues with the chrome air cleaner and oil tube .

Beautifully done ! Nicest one I've seen !

Thanks John !
