I wouldn't say I'm obsessed or anything,... but I have a few Mustang model kits, hot wheels, etc.

You really need to get out more.

Be sure to go to:

and get the photo-etched metal detail set. They have the early Mustang stuff including grills, window cranks, pedals, emblems, letters, etc.

Yeah. They use a process to basically cut a thin piece of metal with parts that are scaled to the size of the model. In this case, it's 1:25 scale. I'm not exactly sure how it works but you get a huge amount of tiny detail parts on a small card that u can paint and glue to your model to make it more realistic than the plastic molding process will allow. I think the 65-66 version has emblems and side ornaments, 2 styles of grill, etc. They also make engine parts and bolt heads and multi part wheels and any numerous pieces to help detail the model car.
