- While building my 1969 Boss 302 Mustang, I noticed the date 1988 cast into a part. I think on the chassis. Did this used to be the 1969 Shebly Mustang ? *NM*
- Thank you all so much for the comments and compliments on my Boss 302 build below. They are greatly appreciated ! *NM*
- Who does custom photoetch in Canada?

- That's really nice! *NM*
- I live in Albany...didn't even now about this. *NM*
- EXCELLANT *NM*
- Gerry, thats very nice, I could happily live with it, especially like the colour & wheel choice, engine suits it perfectly. *NM*
- Gerry, just looking & admiring your build again & saw one thing I'd change....& its something thats caught me out a few times too.......that kit 6volt battery will need at least a 2nd one in the trunk to start the Hellcat engine...lol..nah looks fine...lol.. *NM*
- Gerry...that looks terrific. Very impressed with your attention to detail and the color choice works surprisingly well. "Ya done good, man!". BTW I believe I recall reading somewhere that the early Chrysler 300 letter cars did not come with rearview mirrors...possibly...
- WOW!! *NM*
- Good build! Your sleekening of the trim was just right. *NM*
- Saw a report online that notes that longtime NASCAR/auto racing sports writer Steve Waid has died. He was 77. *NM* *LINK*
- New build. I think that it's "Boss". .......... *PICS* .....
- đđ *NM*
- Close enough. Looks great! *NM*
- she's a beauty *NM*
- Looks great to me! Is that the Revell kit? *NM*
- Scott you did a nice job on that kit. I have a bunch in my stash I hope some day to build. *NM*
- Looks good enough to me. But some experts might find something wrong with it...
- Years ago, when my eyes were much younger, I used a Chilton's manual to actually try to get the correct firing order and the hoses and wiring the right places. As I got older that became pretty tedious. As I rarely enter contests any more, no one inspects the detail that
- I believe in the Shepherd Paine theory - "If it didn't look like that, it should"
- Beautifully done, Scott. *NM*
- Very nice and very cleanly done. *NM*
- Nice work Scott, looks real good. *NM*
- Looks great Scott!! *NM*
- Great colors. Reminds me of the early '70s! *NM*
- You go David!! *NM*
- I bought the AMT '66 GT-350 Mustang last weekend, and I noticed something--the only interior is the non-Shelby 'Pony' interior. Where can I find the regular Mustand front seats?
- Wow that looks awesome! *NM*
- 59 Lancer 4-bars... Modelhaus offered them under their custom parts selection... I made sure to include a couple of sets when I placed my final order with Don... I used a pair on my early 60's style Thunderbird show custom... *PIC*
- When I saw this picture, I decided to build my version.
- Interesting take... The car that inspired your build was really wild and breathtaking whenever it rumbled into a show... *PICS*
- Cammer!! *NM*
- Wow! That would have been a pleasure to drive around the city! lol Range on a tank of fuel wouldnât have been so great though. *NM*
- I know this car!
- How frickn kool is that! *NM*
- Was that B/W pic taken in Riverside, CA? *NM*
- Interesting take... The car that inspired your build was really wild and breathtaking whenever it rumbled into a show... *PICS*
- Beautiful!, just a couple things to add, the raise line on the cowl (with hood open) is a seal should be black, In front of the radiator wall should be sprayed black. Mark *NM*
- If you have any of the Revell mixed media diecast (Bullitt Charger/Mustang, for example) there was a tiny tube of Ambroid pro weld (?) in the box
- Gorgeous *NM*
- That dark blue roof and interior give that white body a lower and longer impression of length as well as ibeing beautiful. *NM* *PIC*
- Thanks for the info, Mark. I am guessing you may very well have been the source of the ones I have. It has been too long ago for me to remember. Did you use a '62 Imperial convertible kit set to make your molds? *NM*
- Mine were cast from original Imperial kit parts. I never had a mint one of those (pieced one together from mostly unused parts) but did track down a set of those covers (hard to find!) *NM*
- If you got them from me, it would have been at NNL East or the Three Rivers show just outside of Pittsburgh (in September) *NM*
- Been waiting for the muse to strike on using the el camino street machine blower with a reversed snout on a small block ford...
- Extremely interesting paint scheme... Not something that I would be bold enough enough to attempt, but it actually works pretty well with the asymmetrical styling of the car.đ *NM*
- cool buid *NM*
- I'm a happy camper now. My copy of Auto Modeler arrived in my mailbox today. *NM*
- Me too here in SE Michigan....TB *NM*
- On page 33, top left caption tells about Don Graham and his "long running magazine Custom and Hot Rod Models." I don't recall ever hearing of his publication. Anyone subscribe/purchase his magazine? *NM*
- Patiently waiting for my copy in Sunny South Grafton oztralia...maybe in 2-3 weeks....better delivery than The Rodders Journal, Collectible Automobile & AMT kits, all of which seem to have secumbed to DT ......lol. *NM*
- Oh boy. Model Cars Mag forum redux. *NM*
- Speaking of Model Cars Mag - has it been awhile since a new issue has come out? I don't remember when I last received and issue. *NM*
- Issue 227 came out about 12-13 months ago... Sadly, I've pretty much written off getting the last four issues on my subscription. âšď¸ *NM*
- I got my issues of Model Cars from a couple of swap meet vendors in recent years. One stoppped coming to contests, and the other (based out of Houston) seems to have stopped carrying MC. *NM*
- That was the last issue I received also. Tried logging on to my account but don't remember my acct number. Supposedly they will email it but it has been 10 hrs now and nothing. Guess we have another dead magazine! *NM*

- We are living in a golden age of choice with 3d prints *NM*
- Fantastic upgrade. You always turn out flawless accurate builds *NM*
- NEW 3D printed model kit....... *LINK* *PIC*
- Another model from the vault...... *PIC*
- Drag City Casting 34 Roadster
- Hardtop didn't have them, only the convertible *NM*
- VERY NICE and I have more coming. *NM*
- Iâve used MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), which is the same or similar to Testors liquid cement. *NM*
- I think it worked, because ABS = Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. *NM*
- Yrs ago I had a bottle of MEK,now gone, the Tamiya ABS specific glue is Gel like & hard to use, & Tamiyas Extra Thin Low Odor # 87236 is unavaiable, so its the Deluxe Materials Plastic Magic which gets used, this is for the Tamiya Toyoda AA, nice kit BTW, lol. *NM*
