I did a mockup with the Mustang and the resin Pony wheels that I got off eBay. The engine is mostly assembled save for the ignition coil and some touchups. I used the stock exhaust manifolds (which are not listed in the instructions) instead of headers and I may have to extend the front pipes on the exhaust system to reach the manifolds.

I kept looking at my assembled Pony wheels and I didn't like them. I took them apart, cleaned them up, painted them and reassembled them.    Dex Parios will return... |

The resin wheels and tires have been reassembled! I have painted the exhaust system with Tru-color Paint Aluminum. This stuff is shiny! I included a picture from the TV series to show the car I am building.    Dex Parios will return... |

The chassis is partially assembled. It is a good thing I have built this kit before as the model I have helps with parts location. The kit instructions SUCK! No wonder everything kept falling apart! Gluing surfaces are almost none existent! I painted some parts and others are awaiting paint.    Dex Parios will return... |

Thanks Joe! The more I work on this build, the worse it gets! Not many mounting surfaces!

Over the last couple of days, I have been trying to install the interior onto the chassis. This has been a bear of a project, but I do seem to be winning! Right now I am detailing the dash and doing some touchups.    Dex Parios will return... |

Thanks Joe! It's getting there, but this kit is not the best kit in the world! A mockup to check my work. I had to remove some of the right inner panel edge to get the body to sit down over the chassis correctly.    Dex Parios will return... |
