I am sure everyone is sick of these injector stacks, and manifold, but, the progress is significant (in spite of what it looks like). This is the fourth manifold I've worked on for this thing. I finally have clean molds to make pretty clean castings, and, I have figgered (sic) out the best way to prep them for paint. The shape and size look right to me, finally. Once I clear this hurdle, I really should be able to get on down the road with this project...

   This is what I have for now with my

Mustang kit. Just a bunch of parts, but

most of them ready to put together!?!

  I have some decals to put on, a bit more

hand painting on parts, deciding for sure

if I'm going to keep these wheels or not?!

  You know, the same old stuff?

Honcho update: I made bed side caps from a resin sheet of diamond plate. Sanded it until you could almost see through it!  Set the interior in place. Foiled most of the window trim. The step bumper replicates the one on my friend’s J-10. I shortened the width and added the diamond plate.

That Honcho is looking good! I bought this kit intending to turn it into the military version (I actually got to drive one, once) but after looking at it, decided it would be WAY too much work. I might build mine in an OD or camo paint job anyway, just 'cause I can. B)

I'm messin around with some of that junk from my cousin's collection today. 

The 55 spent 1 hr in the tank full of Super clean and it washed all the paint off! Hands down the best stripper I've ever used! I totally recommend it for stripping paint off without damaging the plastic.

Also... I've been working on the 36... built a Hemi for it...

the 55's stance!!!

Sadly It's missing the hood... I thought about building it as a Gasser, It's more acceptable to be missing the hood as Gasser than a ProStreet.? I'm just glad to get the paint off it... that was one crappy paint job.

Just for fun! I'll straight axel anything, I'm not scared!? The chassis is butchered to get the tires under it anyway... I have a virgin Revell chassis for it..

Awwww, the stance (and wheels/tires) looked SO good before.....:wacko:

Yeah... like I say "Just for fun"... My cousin started this thing around 90 or 91 and it was a mess check out how butchered it is... everything he started was about the same quality... bunch of junk really, but I can fix it! Revell chassis and I'm back on track so the 90's PRO Street movement will have to live on with something else.

I dig it too... but there's no way I can deal with that hack job...

I'm trying to sort out a 66 Chevelle monogram car he did the same thing to. I like the car too much to scrap! it's another project for me.

    I will look to see if I have a hood here!  The Nomad and the

2 door sedan kit use the same one. JSYK!!  (AMT)

   When I mail your wheels and stuff I can just throw that in the

box all together like!!  :D

   The original stance did look great!!  IMHO!!

Hey thanks David! that would be cool...

I was gonna say this 55 was a ProStreet sittin in the box so long that the tires melted the Inside of the body and you can see the "O N E" from the Firestone tire. All you guys have experienced this reaction when enough time comes between rubber and plastic... Rubber melts plastic lol!

I may get me a resin tubbed chassis if I get a hood...Thanks agian...

  Very nice build here, and ready to add to a diorama

right after this parts is done!!

A little progress but a lot of hours on the computer for this. I wanted to make a Meyer decal for the plow blade. I made it in two sizes. I went wit the smaller on in the end. I’m very happy with it!??1876EE97-0711-418C-9B64-84BD96203902.thumb.jpeg.e9e1d2b5e5a766b259b29196960340cf.jpeg
