Great chassis scratch building Peter, I do like the mortice & tenon idea. Like you say adds better strength to the joint. Cheers Bob 👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers Bob. I let Johnny Hacksaw loose on it to give me a broad,straight cut👍😀

Amazing detail work and scratch building. Everything, especially the fire extinguisher, looks very realistic.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Thanks Steve 👍😎

Nice work so far on the Falcon Pete. Your attention to detail is amazing , love the backdrop with all the shop accessories. The slotted shelf brackets to store your grills caught my attention. 👍👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers Dan, drilling the holes in the racking was more of a chore than opening the grilles😢😅. 👍😎Pete 🤓

Wow Pete. You never fail to amaze me.

I'm glad to hear it,Ken.👍😃 But everyone's capable of doing what I do.😀and I'm sure there's some who do much better🤔 Happy New Year, Pete

[@MuttModeler]

Great work as always Peter just always amazed at the details you add 👍👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers Craig.👍😎 It always disappoints me how much of a car is missing in these kits😢

[@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage]

Love the color on the Torino. Falcon is coming along nicely!

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Thanks Trevor 👍😎

[@modelcarmadness5119]

Really cool the way you grafted the two frames together. Great idea for the joint.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I thought it would be more sturdy🤔. I used a hacksaw blade to cut the slots.Ted, 👍😀 I've always had great ideas for a joint😂👍

[@modelcarmadness5119]

@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 😆😆😂 surely stronger.

[@slowridemodelcars1687]

Coming along nicely, looking forward to the end product, thanks for the update!

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

There's been a lot of surprises in this model. Not least how devoid of detail it is🤣😩. Thanks for watching and best wishes from jolly old England👍😎 Pete 🤓

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Awesome modifications Pete and I can't wait to see that falcon done ❤

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I've got a few bits to do yet Shawn😃. I have no idea what engine parts will fit in now😉👍

[@kyledehartsscaleworks]

Very nice Pete!! Those are some really great alterations and additions. Love where you’re headed with the Falcon.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I'm still amazed how basic this 'model'😮 was. I'm lucky that Mustang got crushed🤣🤣😉

[@seamybmw]

Nice touch with the mortice & tenon Pete it will add a bit more strength good job on the fire extinguisher with the safety pin👍👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Like you,I get etch sets with parts like that. More people should be trying to make stuff for this large scale😀. I don't know why detailing cars is so rare,Seamy

[@ramblers69]

Really nice work Pete, Cheers mate 👍🍺

Thanks Tom. 👍😃.

Delicate mesh on the grille. love that black rims on blue combination in the background btw ; )

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Ive got a roof pillar repair to do on the blue Torino,I've just changed the wheelbase on it as the tyres rub in all the other videos I've seen of it. The rear windscreen needs remaking too. Another AMT classic with a few problems😂👍

[@CarDreamsinStyrene]

Great scratchbuildng mate....👍👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Happy New Year, Gary and thank you for the compliment Herr Scratchmeister👍😎

[@CarDreamsinStyrene]

Happy new year to you too...watching your videos made me think I am just a Scratch building apprentice....😁@@petesmodelcarcustoms584

To me you have been a great teacher and given me some brilliant ideas,Gary. 👍👍👍😎

Ok, you did the safety pin! !!! Your one sick modeler. 😂 very very good, thinking add what you can add, your out of the box thinking is working very well. excellent work Pete

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Thanks Doug. It's because I know great modellers like you are watching I go for these details, if I can. I think it's better to try than constantly regret when seeing it's missing.👍😀

[@DB.scale.models]

​@petesmodelcarcustoms584 Ok, we'll, never get a model done if we keep it up lol 😅. there is always some thing to add or make or to make better 😊. When a engine bay looks properly cluttered then it's done same with the cockpit of cars. Tanks, aircraft the there done. Such as, heater hoses, A/c houses ,vacuum lines,fuel lines brake lines vacuum assist to brakes booster oil pressure and heat voltage wiring. Starter Wiring, drain lines, Vent from transmission auto or manual bark brake lines electrical wiring Heater fan motor and its wiring the list goes on and on ,,,,,, and on.😮😅😅😊

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

@@DB.scale.models ah,yes.but there are short cuts. I use a lot of stretched sprue for wiring,a blob of sprue goo on a strand of wire hooks up a lot of stuff,and it's not much time to drill for a/c and heater hose points. This is such a big scale too.👍😃I'm not leaving engine bays claiming that adding spark plug wires has done the job when there's no radiator hoses🤣🤣

[@DB.scale.models]

I think it's the sub space field water transfer thing😅😊

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

@@DB.scale.models Do you need a particle accelerator pedal for that😅

[@scalemodeloutlaw]

Lookin good bud great detail

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Glad you like it 👍😎. I'm looking at swapping the rear axle,etc,for more of the Mustangs parts,aswell,and keeping it closer to the Falcon 🤔😃
