Hot Rod Mustang
Got started on a Mustang build.
I have seen tons of these cut out all the parts from a chunk a wood and glue it all together project plans but I have never tried to build a model this way so found some free plans and an giving this style of model [toy] building a look see.
The plans have marks for the axles so I drilled them out and as I put the thing together am using dowels in these holes to line everything up before I started gluing things up.
The plans tell you it’s best not to sand the parts up as you go but after you glue it up,
but I glued up the center parts and then could sand the seats and dash and a light sand of the roof but will save all the out sides for a good shaping when all is glued up.
One thing I will say, is it takes a large amount of full length lumber to cut it out where I usually can scrap something together out of smaller left over lumber.
It takes a different mind set to build this way but for a toy it would be heavy duty for sure.
Note he also has a lamborghini Miura plan that looks quite interesting, if I hadn’t already had my mind and a friend saying something about a mustang, I would have built the Lamborghini instead..An Index Of My Model making Blogs on Lumber Jocks.

The plan is a car, 3 train cars and who knows what is next, just waiting on the plans..
O!!! and here are some pictures of the finished car at least as far as I'm taking it.
My wheel making jig wouldn't let my 7 1/4 saw blade make the treads as they are so small,
so have been in the process of building an adjustable tread making jig.
