I never get tired of looking at a well built stang.lots of detail for a 1/32 car! I like that testors light paint too, i found it works even brighter if you use the chrome pen first.
Nice build Rob.

There are never ever to many T/A's, I agree!!
How or what did you fabricate to build the stacks?
GREAT tip on the tail lights, will be sure and incorporate that tip too!!

The velocity stacks are aluminum tubing I flanged with an old plumbing tool from copper plumbing days. The hardest part was cutting them to size. Drilling out the carb bodies was easier than I ever thought. I used a flat bottom spur drill.
I used a chrome pen before the tail light red. I forgot. The marker lamp amber is straight from the bottle.

Looks great. I agree that these never get old. Thanks for the reminder on the paint options. I need to pick some up.

That is SHARP!
I'll have to look into that Testors amber marker light paint - I hadn't seen that before. I have the tail light paint and really like the finished look of it!

I can't believe I forgot to mention where the body came from. That was how I got interested. This was one of those crappy snap kits they made for a while in a plastic bag with almost no detail, all black with swirls in the plastic and bad fitment molded in.
