Dave Fred Cady did a sheet for the Titus '67 Mustang and they show up on a regular basis on e-bay. Infact theres one there as I write this.

Mark, your tiny models are like precious jewels, executed with all the skill of your larger builds. Kudos.

Just saw some archive photos of the #17 Mustang, and you've done a great job for accuracy. Interesting to note that this post comes during the 41st anniversary week of Jerry Titus' death. This is from motorsportmemorial.org:

Notes:

While practicing for a Trans-Am race, expert driver and automotive journalist Jerry Titus was killed at Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, United States, when his Pontiac Firebird apparently lost its steering and struck a bridge abutment. He passed away from his injuries on 05 August 1970 at Milwaukee hospital.

Jerry Titus had been the 1967 Trans-Am Champion in a Ford Mustang prepared by the Shelby Team, in 1968 and 1969 he was third in the series. In 1969 he scored an impressive 3rd place overall in the Daytona 24 Hours, sharing his Pontiac Firebird with Jon Ward.

:lol: I'm a Mustang fanatic so this is really neato (giving away my age with that adjective).

I think I might start looking for tiny Mustangs to modify/update/etc. Good job.Keep it up

The fact this was posted during the anniversary of his death is just a coincidence. Or was it...? The idea to do it just popped into my head and I made it one day. Spooky? Nah, just one of those things...
