The Pegasus Hela's that I am using are the closest I can find to match those on the 1:1.

If you are aware of anything else that is a closer match I'm all ears.

Marc, that's what I class as service.....great stuff !!
I tried that once myself, but did no good. I guess besause it was a rare car in a "private" collection, the guy wasn't too keen......

By the way, it's all your fault, for me taking an interest in this style of old/new motoring trend....I mean that in the BEST possible way Marc...
Since seeing your earlier posts here and HHMB, I've been hooked. I have a couple coming up soon........stay tuned.

cheers stump

Re: Progress: Project Boss Hoss 1966 Mustang fastback

You have some serious skills, man, I love your updates. Always very precise construction and I have incredible respect for that. Anyone can build wild customs, it takes true skill and and truly descerning eye to make something so spectacular with just heaps of subtle mods. I bet 90% of the people that see your models without seeing the buildup think, "Wow, that's so cool, I wonder what kit that is?" or "Wow, there's something different about this car but I can't quite tell what he did and what came that way...."

Just incredible work. I watch impatiently for each of your update. Magnificent. You're one of my top 5 here.

Seriously, thanks for the comments and praise. But there are much better model builders on AF than me. I just build for myself. If someone else likes it or gets inspired by something I do it's a bonus.

It is a lot of work to take one of these old school kits and make it into a work of art. Most folks would not know the difference. At least there are people here that do.

Back to the bench....Marc

Update: 12/05/2004

Not satisfied with opening up the gauges in the stock instrument panel, I found a Detail Master photoetch street rod gauge set with the tach would fit within the confines of the Mustang gauge cluster. So out came the stock gauge cluster, and a replacement was scratchbuilt using the photoetch panel as a template for the gauges. The photoetch rings were attached to the new gauge cluste. The printed gauges will install from behind.

Here's the pic of the 1:1 car's instrument panel:


Here's a pic of the stock Mustang kit dash and my modified piece in primer:

Here's a close up pic of the modified dash:


More to come...Marc
