Lobo2me Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Excellent! That is the car I first learned to drive. I duplicated my first love (attached) as best I could at the time, given my rusty modeling skills, but I'd like to give it a refresh. Where did you source the straight six...? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the original resin engine I started with from eBay some time ago, and made a new mold. I removed almost all molded in detail from it and scratch built the fuel pump, oil filter, coil, distributor, power steering bracket and pump, belts, etc. I do see Mcwfinishes.com has one but no picture of it.

Like how you detailed the chassis and engine. Thanks, it’s as accurate as I could make it to my real car. Original undercarriage. Lots of cleaning with mineral spirits and shop rags. Now that was a lot of work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about my actual 1:1 mustang, one of my children would kill me if I sold it. The resin parts I cast for my builds I never considered selling.
