Fuel coupe twins that is. Couple old Monogram funny cars the Ford tempo "Budweiser King " of Kenny Bernstein and the Mustang "Chiefs Auto Parts 7-11 " of Billy Meyer. Bulk parts of both kits are identical, hence the twins reference.

almost impossible to mask these cars off properly so I've applied and cleared the decals, will mask using parafilm (extremely low tack) and put other colors on after done here. Will take better photos today

The chassis and motor look great. Nice job masking and painting also. It looks like you got a little bleed through on the tape on the second one. But, I'm sure your touch up will fix it nicely. Did you use an acrylic to spray over the decals?

Nice looking Fuel Coupes Brett, both nice cars, have (had) quite a few of Billy Meyers cars, never built one as a 'Stang tho, turned the first one I had into the Hawaiian Punch Daytona.

Thanks guys :D , Mustangs done, had some issues both with paint and decals on the Tempo (Bud King car) but still its nearly there

The twins are looking good Brett, what kind of problems did you have with the Tempo?, the pics of it look good, or did you already take care of the problem?

Thanks guys :D .

Richard ,, the original decals although slightly yellowed laid down nicely but after I cleared them and masked over them to get better placement for the red paint, the tape peeled parts of the decal off. I did scan them first so was able to use those for the stripes which is all I had applied but neither the front one (spoiler) or hood one would lay straight and I ended up pulling both off. The side ones aren't great either but dont seem to be to noticeable (at least till I told ya'll ).Going to give it a wet sand and re-clear it then I'll paint the black stripes by hand.

Turned out great! This year Mustang Funny Cars look good and you did amazing job with that. Paintjob looks good and those decals are nicely on their place too.
