Just checked there web site in the aftermarket directory and they still have it. It's 12.10 for the hood, shaker and air filter base.

The Parts Box out of Australia had them not sure if they still do. Excellent quality and it only took a little over a week to recieve them. Highly recomended. -
Just checked out the web site and they have an accessory kit to go along with it. Looks pretty cool can't wait deffinetly getting one.

Haven't build a mustang in a few years but here's one I made for my dad. He bought a Boss new in 70 and had it 3 months before it was stolen and totaled.

I was just thinking a similar thing about the dodge comercial with a Nirvanna song "My girl" playing. I may have the name of the song wrong.

Thats looking awsome John. Can't wait to see it in the under glass section. Just a small tip on applying putty. When you get credit card offer's in the mail, save the fake credit card and cut it up to use as a spreader. You can get a smoother application that makes it easier to sand and not use as much putty in the process.

There out already. I should be finishing up the one I got a couple of weeks ago tonight.

I"m born and raised in Ma. about a 10 minute walk to the beach. Growing up with a couple of VW's and a Plymouth Duster, I can say you need alot more rust. Around here I don't think I remeber seeing a Chrysler vehicle that didn't have the bottom 6 inches of the rear quarter panels completly rotted away. It was also really common to see the rotted metal replaced with duct tape and then painted a wrong shade of a matching color. Chrysler were common for the rear quarters to disapear and it seems like every make and model had specific area's the body would just disitigrate. After my mom sold her Duster she got a 79 Carolla. This was in about 81 or so. I think that car started rotting out within the first few month's. The thing I have always remembered about that car was every time you closed the door little streams of rotten metel would poor out from somewhere radomly around the car. The VW's were the worst. My folks had a beetle when I was real little and I used to drop peebles and small sticks on the floor and then turn around real quick to see if I could see it bounceing down the road behind us.

A few years ago I was out in Ohio for the International Harvester nationals. I decided to take the whole week off to go out there early and do some sight seeing in a, to me, new part of the country. On our roaming around we found an old Packard dealership that is now a Packard museum and decided to check it out. In the back of the old used car building they had a late 20's Packard that had the back of the body cut off with a tow set up in place. They guy at the museum that was giving us a little impromptu tour, told us that was common back then for dealership's to take cars that hadn't sold and repurpose them. I forget they whole story on the car but it was from another midwestern packard dealeship that used it for there own tow vehicle. It was in decent original used but not beaten condition and very faded but still had the original dealerships name and info on the door.

I have a sedan delivery resin body I started 20 years ago. You could probably cut out the side windows and scribe rear doors and have a wagon. If your interested let me know. I can give more details and photos if you'd like

Hi all. I made these a couple of years ago. I put a pic in the T.V. car thread and didn't want to highjack or sidetrack it so I started this one to show more pics of it. All comments good or bad are welcome.
Thanks. Jeff

I'm an IHC Scout fan. I remember a few years back coming across a photo of an old International-Harvester dealer that was also a Rolls Royce dealership. I'll have to see if I can dig that photo up. Very odd to see new IHC's and RR's on a lot together.

I could be wrong but didn't they just reissue the 911 a couple of month's back? I have the one in the picture. I built it last summer and other than the headlights being a WTF molding it is a great kit.

That Caddy looks fantastic in that color. Just an fyi the crest decals your showing are wrong for 78. I think thats the style that they came out with in 99. For 78 it had hunting ducks in the yellow area's and a crown on top. Not trying to be a rivit counter just passing some info on.

Wow I have one of those hood scoops sitting in my basement. Picked it up at a swap meet about 10 years ago for 20 bucks. The original matte black paint was really faded but the scoop is perfect otherwise. I might have to throw it on ebay and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up. I would never ask that much for it but if I could make a few bucks for having sit in my basement that would be cool.

There were a lot of companies that did this back in the day. Captain crunch did it just recently. My 6 year old wanted to try the crunch berries a few month's ago so remembering how much I liked them I bought 2 boxes. As we were enjoying a bowl one morning I noticed a t-shirt offer on the box. I offered it to him but he wasn't interested in it. so I clipped the proof of purchase's, and sent them in with my 1.95 for shipping and handling and 4-6 weeks later I got my Captain crunch t-shirt. I tried to give the money to my mom to wright the check and send it in for me, for the full authentic experience but she wouldn't do it. I may be 41 but still 10 inside.

In the Halicki movie they refer to the 73 as the last big Mustang or the last real Mustang. It's been a while since I saw it. I think it was the 2 cops sitting outside the radio station waiting for it to come out. I have the DVD I might pop it in tonight and check it out. By far the best chase scene. Sorry bullit fans but it beats out McQueens chase.

Looking great Dan Keep it going.

I know you want to stay on the history subject here, but sadly I see this as a foreshadowing of where our country is headed. But on the packard subject. I went to a packard museum in Ohio that was origanaly built as a Packard dealership and restored to it's former glory and it was awsome to say the least. Her's a link http://www.americaspackardmuseum.org/the_story.html . Wish they had more pics but it is definetly worth a visit to anyone near or passing through the Dayton area.

Good luck to you. My dad had his prostrate removed about 2 years ago from cancer and it's not as bad as you might think. it takes time but he is doing fine know with just a little life style change and it sounds like the same. His was about as bad as it could be so just stay positive.

A friend of mine, that know's nothing about cars, was checking his oil like you would a transmission. I think he put about a gallon and a half in it before it read full on the dipstick. There was a lot of smoke coming out the exhaust for about 2 month's after I drained and refilled it properly. and I had to do some explaining to him about auto maintenance, I told him never to lift a hood again.

Thanks Rick. That was the look I was going for. His car was my favorite tv car when I was growing up. I did the scoops with a little more of a custom look than a stock formula. The formula hood on the silver one has a correct scoops done. Thanks Jeff
is there a 1/24th Shaker hood & scoop

No Problem Doug glad I could help. Yes that is one I did a couple years ago for a xmas gift for my dad. Before he met my mom he had a few very nice mustangs. In 1970 he traded in a 69 Mach 429CJ for a Boss 302. The Boss was about 3 month's old with just over 500 miles on it. 4 kids stole it while he was at work got into a police chase and hit an oak tree at almost 100 mph. He always said it was his favorite and wished he still had it. He also said he wished he had kept the 69 also but he traded it because he didn't want a car payment. He paid cash for the 69. He bought the boss at the end of the model year and couldn't get another one. so he ended up buying a new 701/2 Z/28. Then my mom and later me came along. I was about 5 in 78 when he finally got rid of the Z for a more Family friendly VW statin wagon. When I gave it to him it was the first time I ever saw him get a little emotional, He's very old school ex milatary type so I know it ment alot to him. He made an amazing wood framed display case with glass and mirror's for it to really show it off. I'll have to take a pic of it in the case next time I'm over there house.
