Got this one done after 3 months. Amt kit purchased at Walmart. 145 hours. It's one of those sealed hood models with molded in seats and exhaust so lots of cutting and adding is required. I also tried to change the automatic transmission underneath to look like a manual trnasmission. I have always liked the look of the 64 Ford, so I bought 2 more of the kits. This is the car That Ned won the Dixie 400 in that year.

Looks great. Can't believe that is brush painted. You did an amazing job.

Looks great! Those annual kits are a great way to knock out builds without the mental dilemma of wanting to add details under the hood. The 1963 and 64s have tons of options.

Thanks, Jason. Still not where I want to be on the paint. In person you can still see some brush strokes in places. I'm thinking about trying a foam brush to apply the paint. Maybe try to dab it on instead of stroke it on. My next build will mostly be covered in decals so that might be a good one to try it on.

Another gorgeous build Mark. Your talents simply amaze me. Great work, even if it is a Ford.

Looks great Mark. I’ve got a few of those kits- hope mine turns out half this good.

Remember that car well. On the cover of the first issue of Stock Car Racing magazine too! Excellent job, very well done!

Super nice build Mark. I love the stance, low with just a touch of lean. There's a lot of lovely detailing on this build that make it look so much like the real car. Overall a beautiful replica of an iconic race car.

Thanks, Bob. Just one of those little extra things to add to make it look a little more like a race car.

Outstanding work as always, Mark! Your scratch building skills always amaze and inspire me to try and do more with my builds. I hope you continue to post your WIP on future projects!

Thanks, Nengelman. I've got one going on over at MCM. I'm trying out one of the NextGen Camaro kits. It's a well-engineered kit and fun to build once I figure out the directions. The parts look like they can just be installed into a space and you're done, but the part has to be in the right position because sometimes it will fit but you get down the line a little and the next assembly doesn't fit right, so you have to go back and figure out what you did wrong. I'm sure the next one will go smoother once I figure out this one. It's in their Nascar wip section.

I am in awe - hand painted? I found this post via a Google search and my first impression was that it was a photo of a University of Racing die cast. I bow to your skills, and I thank you for your explanations of how you made such a basic kit look so wonderful.
