This is a Polar Lights Mustang funny car kit that I hope to make into the Blue Max car (as long as the decals lay down over that front hood bulge? If anyone has built this with the white decal stripe for the hood I would love to hear how it went, please respond) I have this in the white glue/mock-up stage now after working out thing like wheelbase adjustment for the Mustang body to get the front wheels somewhat centered in the wheel wells, added sheet plastic to the tin work above the injector hat so it will mate up to back of windshield. etc. etc. Now it’s time to soak this in the warm bucket of water to break it all down and start building the real thing. Thanks for looking! Charlie Pro Tech    |

You have done some fine work so far. It will be cool to see the color laid on it.

This is going to be cool! I like the mock-up with white glue idea. I have never done it but sounds like a great idea!

Looking good Charlie, the motor looks great. I need to get over to your website and hit you up for some of those valve stems and some coils.
