Cesar,

As with always - great work. I love following your builds as I am always inspired and learn a few new things by watching your builds progress.

Cesar, great job so far. You sure have a knack for building these great little detail items on the car. Very impressive looking build....we can all learn a lot from your technique and super clean style. This is right up there with Romell's great work on his Chevelle.....killer build.

Thanks Peter!!! Rommel is a icon to me. Like as Augie Hiscano, Steve Boutte, Juha Ario and others super builders. I'm glad to know that.

Stay tuned. The next update is about my eternal fight with front suspension. I won!!

I was decided to change front "A" arms. Checkout all of my kits box to find the right arms, I did a silicon mold and cast them in resin. Of course they are modified to perfect fit in the small AMT Mustang.

I'm so happy... it is solved all of my problems in all my cars.

Now I can finish the frame. Needs machined coilover, wire springs, spindles, some putty to done.

Incredible work Ceasar ! Watching your work is like going to a siminar for professional builders but better. And no charge. Thanks for sharing such great work, ideas and craftmanship. Looking foward to seeing more and the end results.

I really enjoy seeing how you are putting this together .you make it look easy. how much of the scratch building is planned in advance and how much is problem solving? I ask because when I attempt builds like this I often get stuck at certain points when trying to bring it all together like the ride height will be off or the interior doesn't fit right .Again I appreciate seeing how you approach this build .

That is allot of heavy Modification! Wow B) ! I am wondering if the Resin kit was fairly accurate, as I see you have had to clean up and redo allot?

Cesar what materials r u using to mold these parts i got the styrene but what about the "bondo" what is it and what r they

great work so far, love mustangs.

what resin kit (im guessing) did you use to "clone" that engine?

Is it the mustang gt engine? It looks it.

Cesar, This is an excellent build thread! Keep up the great work!!!!! It will be nice to see the finished result! :)

Terry nice to read this. I'm still fighting with frame but I'm making some other things also. Soon as possible I'll update. Thanks.

Randy Thanks!! Believe in me. It is easy... needs patience, references and right tools. I had a lot of problems with front end... solved with resin casted arms. I was planned some things but doesn't worked as I like, this things let me a lot of stress with the project... needs "B" plan or something. Building my 70 Cuda I learned to make all pre assembly before any paint, to fit all without damage finished job. Maybe in my next "radical project" I'll be better with pre-project. We working on the next, my great friend Mike Lomaka helps me a lot with the project. I cant wait to see Mustang finished to start the new one!!! But i need to stay calm down, to make it done.. LOL

David yes... it was fairly accurate... very nice silicon mold!! Thanks!!

Brian it is styrene, CA bond, Tamiya epoxi putty and filler putty.

Decklan Thanks!! It is acrilic resin for protetics was used on engine. Yes, it is '06 Mustang GT engine. Will be super custom!!! Stay tuned for updates!!

Thanks guys, and sorry for my poor english. I hope you can understand me.
