Wow that's nice ! Beautiful paint , detailing , and the widened fenders look like they came out of the box like that !

Beautiful work , it looks great with the up-top !

I'd be okay with the two magnets going to the hood , but I only used one magnet on the bottom of the hinge and it just barely holds everything up now . Next time it's two on top and two on the bottom . Sprayed two coats of primer yesterday . Before that I used some clear sealer I bought a while ago at the body supply house , don't know if it will stop any bleed-thru but thought I'd give it a try . Plan on spraying the color today . Boy I forgot how ugly that yellow plastic was , looks much better now ! A small thing but I also mounted the engine to the sub-frame .

Jerry , the magnets came from AmazingMagnets.com . Lots of different sizes , the ones I bought are in the pic below . Sure thing Steve , my hinges didn't turn out the best but I think the metal strips will do the trick . I was going to paint right over them but have decided to mask them for painting this time just to be sure . The thinnest metal I could find was K&S brand purchased from Grainger .

Thanks much guys !

Thanks Russell ! Thanks again Carl ! Using magnets on the hood hinges was Steve Guthmiller's idea . More body prep . I scribed the panel lines , added the molding for the canopy roof , and located the mirrors using .020" brass rod as pins . The mirrors are from the Revell '71 Hemi Cuda kit .

Beautiful !!!

Beautiful work Josh , right out of the box you got it right ! Superb detailing and your paint looks spot on !

I like it ! Great look and colors !

Great job opening it up , not an easy thing to do !

I hadn't planned on gluing the hood pins now but figured if I waited something wouldn't fit . . . or I'd ruin the paint gluing them in place . So after adding some material underneath I used CA to glue them in place . Earlier I also transferred the hole locations from the Charger body for the rear spoiler . The last couple of days I made the hood hinges . Thanks Steve for the great idea of using magnets ! Thin strips of .008" thick sheet metal were added to the hood and inner fenders using CA glue . Those tiny magnets are much stronger than they look !

Just ordered one . . . $46.00 including shipping . If you don't do Facebook (I don't) you can still use the link above and scroll down to the "order link" , worked fine .

Beautifully done , all of your mods and changes really set this one apart from the rest ! I completely agree with your comment about the wheels and your solution worked great ! The correct wheels make or break a model , why do the manufacturers always get them wrong (almost) .

Great to see another build from you Marcos , this Chevelle looks mighty fine to me ! I love the Frost Green Metallic and especially like how you replicated the vinyl top color , great job !

These smaller scale kits can be lots of fun , cool to see you building one !

Well you nailed it . It's beautiful !

Classic look ! What paint did you use ?

Thanks much Dave ! I forgot to show the finished wheels and tires , not perfect but they'll work . The wheels from Fireball are beautiful !

Nice job on those decals , long ones can be a real pain !

Really great detailing and a superb looking Mustang ! And yes the parts are smaller and getting smaller every year .

Before prepping the body for paint there are a couple of things I want to add , one is these hood pins . After looking at some photos I marked the location of the pins on the hood . Of course they don't line up with the plastic pads I added to the fenders . I didn't want to make new pads so I checked the size of the scuff plates against my locations and decided to move the pins outward and then drilled the holes . The next issue was that the "eye" end of the pins wouldn't go through the scuff plates (top image). After some careful filing , and ruining two pins , I have two that will drop through the scuff plates (bottom image). I'm glad that's done . I still need to add some material to the underside of the fender pads so the pins can be epoxied in place .

Thanks very much Francis ! Being able to see again is great . . . too bad the glasses don't help my hands .

Thanks Scott ! Thanks Gareth !

That looks pretty cool just as it sits , especially with those wheels and tires !

Nice color ! So where did you find the cool flames ?
