tbill Posted March 14, 2015 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
mustang1989 Posted March 15, 2015 Author 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!
johnbuzzed Posted March 16, 2015 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.
TheRX7Project Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Gorgeous. The under hood detail looks fantastic.
ubermodel Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Been following your "on the workbench" posts, great job. What's your source for the air cleaner / filter / rubber seal?
mustang1989 Posted March 17, 2015 Author 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.
mustang1989 Posted March 17, 2015 Author 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
gtx6970 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Looks good, Nice color The stance looks dead on try a piece of guitar string for the antenna
mustang1989 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks Bill and thanks for contributing to my WIP. I'll have an opportunity to take care of that antenna this weekend. Edited March 17, 2015 by mustang1989
atomicholiday Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 This is off topic, but is that your Mustang in your avatar? 5.0L?
Roadrunner Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Gorgeous. The under hood detail looks fantastic. Indeed it does.
mustang1989 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Jeremy: Yessir it's mine! I had that car for almost ten years and had a lot of fun with that car. Kevin and Danno: Thanks fellas!!
am73grand Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 What a transformation. That's a really nice build.
mustang1989 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 I appreciate that Ron! It's funny that it was just supposed to be a simple touch up! 4 months later........................
atomicholiday Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Jeremy: Yessir it's mine! I had that car for almost ten years and had a lot of fun with that car. Man I used to want one of those so bad I could taste it! Still do really! Cool car, Joe. Ok, back to the topic at hand.
mustang1989 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks Jason. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the comments Steve and Stray!
mustang1989 Posted April 22, 2015 Author 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. Edited April 22, 2015 by mustang1989
Hubert Rollins Posted April 22, 2015 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!
