Beautiful build! The paint and detailing are fantastic

That has turned out superb. Lovely model.

Sorry I missed the WIP Mitch (been a bit preoccupied) but man you have nailed the look of your uncle's car.

NICE one!! 

Fantastic!! Great stuff.

Wow great stuff Mitch! You defiantly nailed it. Very well done on creating a replica.

An excellent reproduction of the real car.

Very nice job on the hood decal. I've just destroyed the one on my '71 Boss restoration. Just too large over too many curves.

Looks very nice Mitch, and from what I understand if a pretty ropey old kit

Have to chuckle, so realistic!!!! Engine bay is very nice. Dunno how you got the window trim to fit so perfectly. As we (well,not me) used to say "outta site!"

That is nice. The color is great. Sweet lookin' Mustang.

Thanks, why the chuckle though?


Thanks guys, I'm sending it to him next month when my daughter goes back to Kansas for a visit.

A whole lot of effort. Turned out well.

Chuckled at totally real appearance. Vinyl roof was a classy option back then, not easily duplicated on a model, thanx!
