Thanks BK and Keavdog! Got all the major subassemblies put together this afternoon, so I'm finally nearing the finish line. Even managed not to break or scratch anything while putting the chassis into the body...VERY nerve racking experience, I could hear stuff creaking and groaning. LOL. So, I don't think I could ask for a better way to end the weekend. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q70/924/vOeJos.jpg) ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q70/924/duhOhJ.jpg)

Beautiful! Nice work! I also panic sometimes putting the chassis and body together. Im pretty sure I also stop breathing while doing it haha.

Such a cleanly assembled build so far Eagle and the paint looks flawless. There always seems to be at least one area of any given build that gives us issues and for you on this car it looks like it's the hood. You're definitely overcoming that obstacle to bring this beauty closer to get finish line. Excellent work so far buddy.

This has been wonderful to follow being built. Your meticulous attention to detail has created an absolutely beautiful Mustang.

Excellent work! First one I see with this color. Love the engine too. This is indeed a splendid finish with an uncommon paint job eagle. You've also managed to pull off a well detailed interior and engine build up out of it as well. Beautiful car, looks to be an awesome kit and you brought it all together in very good fashion.

Zoom zoom! Turned out great and I love the color and the engine bay looks sharp. Thanks keavdog, buddho, and BK! This has been wonderful to follow being built. Your meticulous attention to detail has created an absolutely beautiful Mustang. Thanks Brent! This one definitely tried my patience. Had me swearing “This is my first car completion in a really long time, and it’s going to be my last!” But, when everything finally fell into place and I had those last few finishing touches to put on, it was so rewarding that I’m probably going to pick back up on the Testors/Fujimi 87 Porsche 911 Turbo that I had started a while back. This Mustang was painful, but it was mostly due to my lack of experience with cars. I learned a lot from it. Very nice Mustang. Love the look of the front end! Cool looking car! Thanks, CB! Seeing the front end makes me kind of miss the 72 Mustang I once had. Excellent work! First one I see with this color. Love the engine too. Thanks TJ and Gil! I remember seeing a 71 Boss 351 in this color combo (Grabber Green Metallic/Black) when I went to a Mustang club rally when I was in high school. It was definitely an eye-catcher. This is indeed a splendid finish with an uncommon paint job eagle. You've also managed to pull off a well detailed interior and engine build up out of it as well. Beautiful car, looks to be an awesome kit and you brought it all together in very good fashion. Thanks Joe! It’s definitely an excellent kit. A few things could have been done better, like with any kit, but the level of detail Revell got into with it was a great thing. Heh…I remember the grin I got when I put the instrument panel under the magnifier and saw they even had the little, arrow-shaped cut-outs in the panel for the turn signal indicators. Had fun scratch-building the antenna and base too. Who knew that a medical component supply warehouse would be such a good source of materials? The stainless steel hypodermic tubing and rod didn’t even have to be chromed or polished to look right.
