Re-Updated, Again - 1/18 ACME White Trans Am Ford Mustang Boss 302

I wish all diecast manufacturers would do this, however, to date, this is the only mass-produced, affordable Customer White donor available.



Here's a link to a separate Flickr album with more detailed shots:  https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzEAKE

Anyway, being retired, I have way too much time on my hands, and fortunately access to resources to allow me to pursue things that creep into my imagination.

I have started creating some fantasy versions of this model, primarily based on existing and historic Nascar liveries.  Here's what I've done so far.

First one I did was a Sta-Power Buddy Baker version.  Album here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHsmSuyw8F



Next one I did was an Alan Kulwicki Hooters version.  Album here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHsmVStnkq



Next, a more contemporary livery, R&L Carriers.  Album here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzEbp7



And the most recent, a Wendell Scott Howard's Furniture version.  Album here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzEGUK



Next one will be a Skoal version, based on the Rick Mast Thunderbird livery.  Album here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzF5NP

This will be the last one until I can break loose with $125 plus shipping for another donor.

This is based on Dan Gurney’s 1963 “Motor Trend 500” Winning 427 Ford Galaxie.  Album here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzGTR8

They all look great!

Looks good, and I couldn't help but notice that this diecast model got the rake of the front end correct unlike the Revell 1/24 kit.  I wish they would correct it or an aftermarket 3d printer or caster would.

Actually, there is a way to correct it.  I just haven't gotten around to doing these.  It is pretty simple, you remove two screws that hold the front suspension on, add a couple of fibre washers, and done.

Here's a Flickr album on it:  https://flic.kr/s/aHsmi2WM4b
