Your paint and decaling is impeccable Joe. I do appreciate that JC. I try to keep up to a level that I see around here. This place has some really talented builders. |

That's some serious hood scoop! It looks really nice. I see in the reference pic in the first page that there is an extra part in front of the scoop, apparently to channel more air.
Thanks,

Thanks, Thanks Ismael. I've already got plans on that channeling device. I'll be cutting and forming that part from of a Sprite soda can.  |

Thanks Ismael. I'm getting pretty close to being done with the dash. I took a couple of liberties with it just to have at least a little fun. I still have the foot pedals to construct and put under it, some touch up to the steering wheel and to install a tachometer on the dash but it's pretty much where I want it. I took Macro shots against my better judgement. With that being said, the blems that show up in this pic won't be seen by the naked eye.  |

My gosh! How do you do this?
You know, every modeler has his strong points, stuff learned from job and a fellow can do this fairly well, another that also well.
I don't know how to do this kind of modeling, but I sure like the view.
Very well done, my opinion.
Geez! I wear glasses and could only read the tach and speedo in a blurry way, you do 1:25 and I can see it better.
Good job.

If I didn't know any better, I'd betcha that it's a real for deal dash and wheel. Outstanding job on the dash.

No sir that's a PE script that I adhered onto the dash with some clear coat. Which other forum are you on Chris? |

I'm actually a member of a few more but I really want to just get down to this one. It is the best I have found for my genre. But sometimes, the mass of users at MCM forums can be an asset for a question. I get confused where I am replying when I spend to much time at all of them. |

After robbing the foot pedal assemblies from the AMT 1967 Mustang kit, I cut the grossly over scale levers from the back of each pedal.   Then I formed up the levers and made some mounts on the back side of the dash in which to "swing" the pedals with...  I finished this part up this morning by painting the swing levers and pedals. I also darkened the steering wheel wood areas just a tad.....  |
