afx Posted October 1, 2017 Author Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Added a strip to the rear edge of the hood the create the flip-up of the 1:1. Also added windshield clips. Edited October 1, 2017 by afx
afx Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks Dann. Mounted the pedals on blind posts to raise them off the floor. Completed interior.
KENNEDYJR Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 That is going in the Smithsonian right? Amazing work without a doubt. I have some catching up to do regarding build quality lol.

blunc Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Dang, those Minilites from Fireball look fantastic. I bought a set to build a copy of my 1:1 Edited October 5, 2017 by blunc fix photo
afx Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Absolutely Mike, Joseph's stuff is top-notch. Edited October 6, 2017 by afx
mod3l Lover Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 JC, Beautiful and just amazing! But I knew itwould be based on your track record!! "Track Record", did you see what I didthere? (pun intended) Your attention to detail is truly inspiringto say the least. David S.
jefropas Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 This is just incredible, really....thanks for letting us all enjoy watching it go together!Jeff
Mr. Metallic Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 What kit did the seat come from?This is coming together wonderfully.
afx Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) The seat is from the Revellogram Shelby GT350R kit. I reshaped the top and added the seat belt slots. Edited October 9, 2017 by afx
aurfalien Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Hi,Just catching up to this.Your build process is just so clean and meticulous. I'm going to try and emulate for sure.This is awesome BTW, hope it finds it's way to Norm in form of an HRM trans-kit as I would definitely by it.Not my normal subject matter but this is awesome!!!
afx Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks Brian. I though about doing a street AAR trans-kit but don't think it would sell. Everyone, me included is hoping Revell will issues a complete AAR kit. The race car conversion would be too complicated to cast as a trans-kit. Besides I've already started final paint - and I ain't building another one.
Randy D Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Wonderful progress JC !!! That interior is awesome and the stance is looking right on.Randy

That's what I thought you said in one of your earlier posts, so I looked in a couple '66 GT350R kits at a swap meet this weekend and couldn't find that seat. All I could find where the stock seats in the boxes.

I know of this because I built one many years ago, and I wanted two seats in mine so I got an extra from someone. It can be found in this kit though. BTW, this Shelby is a '65.........

Yep the racing seat is only in GT350R kit, not included in the street GT350 kits.
