tbill Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Joe, spectacular job on this 'little re-hab' project I want you to know I have really enjoyed watching this come together, and you inspired me to add details to my builds that I hadn't thought of doing prior to seeing your rebuild. you did an awesome job on this, and for me personally, it was a win/win, I won by watching your work, and I won by your work pushing me to add a little extra to my stuff, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks Jim! I've got a Revell 56 Ford F-100 "Street Demons" series truck in the light truck section I'm doing next. I'll be in the planning phase for a while on that one. Jeff: Thanks man! I'm looking forward to seeing your build! JC: Thanks dude! Looking forward to seeing yours finished as well. Richard: 'Preciate it buddy! Kevin: I'll be watchin' your build with great interest and thanks man! Tom: I really appreciate you encouraging me through the build as well as the rest of the gang that commented in there. All of you guys gave me just the nudge I needed sometimes to just get over myself and put my best efforts into the build. Jeremy: Thanks for the good comments. I'll be watching that P-40 as well. If you need anything just gimme a holla! John: Thanks for the good word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuzzed Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Really, really nice; smooth and clean, nicely detailed without going overboard. If you need a "temporary" home for it, I'll be happy to make room on one of my shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubermodel Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Been following your "on the workbench" posts, great job. What's your source for the air cleaner / filter / rubber seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 John: Thanks man! As far as a temporary home goes...I just couldn't part with it again right now. lol. James: I appreciate the comments. I think the engine bay is where the build really started to run me! lol Dennis: Thanks for the kind comments. The air cleaner and several detail parts to include all firewall plastic detail as well as the air cleaner came from Revell Challenger kit #85-4213. The air cleaner alone was such a vast improvement that I had to change it out from the original part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Not shown in the Under Glass photos is the dash and interior. I just couldn't get the lighting to cooperate. Overall interior shot:( I did end up changing the shifter out to the correct wood grain shifter handle) Dash: and a couple more from the engine bay: Edited March 17, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Joe nice job........ Is this car a radio delete package,the reason I ask this because there is no antenna on the right rear top quarter panel ? I'm not net picking here. I had been wondering how to do the antenna and finally came up with stretched black sprue shot with some alclad. I installed it two days ago in preparation for an IPMS show in Houston this weekend and had to put the finishing touch on there. Thanks Doug.

Hubert Rollins Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Wow! That's one slick ride!! And the engenine bay is quite nice!! You got a lotta patience to rebuild that thing 3,4 times! I believe if I were you I'd keep it, glue a case around it an glue it to the shelf!!! Or pack it away in bubble wrap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
