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 ?

Very cool , it turned out great !

Thanks Gareth ! The last couple of times I did parking brake cables they were just a couple of wires glued in place . I did attempt to make some brackets but not successfully , this time with my new glasses and a magnifying lamp it was quite a bit easier ! It was still a challenge that took all week but most of the time was spent looking for correct size wires and figuring out how to make the hardware . Here's the finished chassis . The front subframe , exhaust , and driveshaft are held temporarily with tacky glue so they can removed for the engine installation during final assembly .

Looks excellent , great job !

Those are great ! I'd love to have that '68 !

Beautiful Charger Tim , love that color !

Man I love that color !! Great looking '32 Jim !

Instead of replying to all your posts I'll say it all here . . . Such a great project and I've enjoyed watching your progress building the cars from the 50's , the greatest decade for style and design innovations ! Excellent job ! I'm a bit surprised that "56 is the only year you've completed , I would have bet you finished more .

Thanks much Claude , actually not that much time at all ! It would have taken me just as long trying to paint the molded-in lines , do touch-up , paint some more , more touch-up , more paint , etc . . .

Thanks much Francis ! I thought I did too much overspray but maybe it will look okay when finished .

Thanks David ! Like I said it's not very powerful but will do small tasks , be sure to trash the Chinese batteries that come with it and by some good AAA batteries . I did the whole floorpan with just one pair of Duracell batteries .

I'm going to make my own fuel and brake lines so the molded in ones on the underbody needed to be removed . I used a cheap little grinder from Harbor Freight to do this , it's not very powerful and won't do any major grinding but it's perfect for this ! The primer helps me see what I'm doing . Primed and with the front subframe and rear suspension set in place . I used .015" and .022" diameter solder to form the brake and fuel lines . Clamps were cut from a thin strip of aluminum tape and held in place with a small dab of CA glue . The front subframe won't be glued in place until final assembly . I need to figure out the parking brake cables then I can install the rear suspension .
