I saw some resin 10 holes a few months ago.I'll try to find them.They were big with the Mustang guys making cop cars.To build the 5.0,I'm using the engine from a 1/24 Mustang (Revell/Monogram),with the tranny and oil pan removed.I'm using an AOD from the Revell 32 Ford kit,along with the correct double sump oil pan from the same kit.It took about 4 hours,but the grille on my kit looks awesome.It took a LOT of measuring and then a lot of tiny holes were drilled,then the jewelers files did the rest.I sanded off the TC wording and started fabbing up my Bullitt gas lid.I already notched the rear bumper like my 1/1 car.I found the correct Good Year Eagles to use as well.I will have to re-do the seats.I want the front of the seats extended like mine,and I want the map pockets in the back of the seats to really be open.The taillights are going well.I had to smooth them out and get the detail just right along with a light tinting.Time and patience.
