mrmike Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thanks John! The Story McNally calls the owner of the Shelby and strikes a deal for the car. The balance of the afternoon was spent at the bank and the Registry transferring his plates from the Charger to the Shelby. He spends whatever little time he has left in the afternoon looking for Dominic with no success. He calls Caitlyn and agrees to met her at her condo to pick up Tracy and watch over her for the rest of the night. Tracy gets into the Shelby and says, "Another blue Mustang?" The Boston PI replies, "No, my first blue Shelby." The Build Last night I cut down the rear coil springs by using my razor saw and removing two coils. I removed two coils from the front coils. The chassis is nearly complete. McNally will return... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks Jake! "Another blue Mustang?" "No, my first Shelby" Typical girl..... I missed this earlier, Mike. As usual, all is shaping up exquisitely. Charlie Larkin Thanks Charlie! In my first McNally, Boston PI story, Tracy was with McNally when he purchased his first Mustang, a metallic blue '06 Mustang that was rebuilt by his friend, Vic. The Mustang was destroyed in a later story and was replaced by the '06 Charger Daytona. Tracy is not a car person, rather a businesswomen whose company caters to women entrepreneurs. To her, a car is nothing more than a means of transportation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks Carl! The Story McNally stops at BPD headquarters to talk to Sgt. Adam Troy about the dead truck driver and Dominic Chadbourne. Adam tells of a warrant for Dominic's arrest from San Francisco PD for the murder of a 30 year old woman in their city. An BOLO has been issued for his arrest , but McNally has an idea...he needs to set a meeting with Dominic to settle this once and for all. He calls Tracy to get Dominic's cell phone number which Tracy still has. He then tells Adam that he has a plan and asks if Adam wants in on it. Adam replies, "Heck ya!" The Build I spent part of last night and this morning masking the body so I can paint the trim with Tamiya TS-29 Semi-Gloss Black. All that masking and trimming was worth the effort! McNally will return... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Nice job on the masking, Mike. I was going to do the Style-Tone on my '57 Ford, and I can't cut the tape right to fit, so I'm doing the roof two-tone instead. Two-tone paint is something I dread doing, but even with that little bit of work there, yours came out nicely. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks guys! James, I did the roof strips afterwards. Charlie, I use Tamiya tape for my masking. It is thin and sticky enough to work very well for me. It also cuts nicely with a sharp hobby knife and burnishes well. The Story McNally walks outside of Boston Police Headquarters and over to his new Shelby that is parked at the curb and leans against the fender with his cellphone in his hand. He dials the number that Tracy had given him and listens for the call to be pick up. “Hello?” “Hello Dominic. The name’s McNally.” “Oh…you’re the private eye that is trying to find me, aren’t you?” “Yes I am. And, it is time for us to meet. Pick a place and time and I’ll be there.” “Yes! It is time and I do want to meet you,” he laughs. “The old church hall on Palling St. by the T-Station. 9:00 PM. No guns, no cops, and come alone.” “I’ll be there,” says McNally and the line goes dead. The Build I got the seats decaled and installed into the floor plate along with the dash and center console. Then I got the interior side panels installed. A closeup of the dash and console. McNally will return... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thanks Fred! I choose gray to help highlight the interior against the dark blue body. If I didn't care for the interior, I would have painted it black to hide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 The Story McNally drives past the old church hall on Palling Street several times before parking down the street from the place. He checks his Smith & Wesson Model 4506 and places it in his shoulder holster before getting out of the Shelby. He walks around the outside of the hall before entering through the rear door that was locked. He finds his way up to the main hall which is littered with paper and other debris and looks around before finding a spot to sit down and wait for Dominic. He checks his watch and it is only 8:35 PM and he hears some noise coming from the front of the building five minutes later. It is Dominic who has brought a lantern and McNally surprises him by saying, "Hello Dominic!" Surprised by McNally's greeting, he runs up to McNally ready to fight only to be met by McNally's fist to his face. A few minutes of trading blows to each other ends with McNally giving Dominic a combination of lefts and rights to Dominic's body and face with Dominic finally hitting the floor exhausted and bleeding from the cuts and wounds on his face. Sgt. Det. Troy walks into the hall with two patrol officers behind him and Dominic is cuffed and arrested. Adam says, "You OK" and McNally tells him that he is fine and he quietly walks out of the hall. The Build The body, interior, and chassis have been joined together. The engine bay is nearly complete. I foiled the taillight buckets. McNally will return... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
