That's cool. There's a number or 1:18 vehicles I would like to get but I have to keep reminding myself that if I do that it is money taken away from my 1:1 vehicle. Of course I had to make an exception for the MM2 car.


Fancy sounding control you have there, for us uninitiated types.

I need to fix a couple of things, but it's basically done.

Thanks Chase and Draknoir. We're really slow at work right now (post autoshow time) and I'll have time to fix the little problems on the nose, and then work on the all-red XA lenses for my 1:1 scale XB. I'm planning on putting the back-up lights and reflectors down by the plate, since it's shorter than OZ plates, and then put in sequential tail lights like the Shelby's.

That is incredible, Jay. Then again, I don't expect anything less from you.

Have you had any thoughts about functional lights on either the coming MM2 cars or on a converted Biante XB?

Thanks Steve...so does my boss!

Here's the scratch-built "1:1" scale XA lenses that I started today. The buck will be cast in transparent red once the "A" surface is smooth. The vertical pieces are rough/textured and the inside of the main lenses are the flourescent light diffusers. With the sequential LED lights made for the new Shelby Mustang, it'll be bright and have a cool effect when done.

I don't know how much the new Shelby sequential kits cost but there are also some aftermarket kits with LED's for the 65 - 66 and other Mustangs that may save you some money.

MAD MAXING: Weber Electric has a set of sequentials for about $80.ooUS, that includes the bulbs, sequencer modules (2) and the harness wiring with current Mustang female plugs...which I can get the male pigtails to splice into the new wiring loom.

DRAKNOIR: Looking at the pics on HLJ.com of the production 1:18 MM2 BoB, I'm willing to pull the fender flares off of one and send them to you for casting. The spoilers are removable as well. This way it won't wreck either of your cars. I'll send the CONCORDE fascia this week. OK?
