Olskoolrodder Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The body mold-lines need just a bit more smoothing,and I'll need to add a bit of putty around the wing holes (every 1:1 I've seen had standard,non-winged truck lids,no 'buttons' on any of em,so I'm no using them on this build...) and it'll be ready to spray the final coat of primer... I'm hoping to get more done to it later tonight. More to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I can not remember if you have the filler tube in the right local or not, I want to say you do. Everything else is looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks,Jonathan my friend. It looks to be in the right spot per the instructions,LOL,but they show it from the other side for that step (you'd think they'd known better than that,eh? ).

martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Oh I know, sometimes kit instructions can be difficult then putting the model together. I figured I would show the underside plate I did, I could of done it better but its something you wont see anyways, I need finish painting the one section Edited November 22, 2011 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 That chassis looks good, isnt that what a none bullitt GT500 chassis looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 pics online seem to show the switch from grey primer to that tan/brown color in 2008-2009 from what i've seen. no idea why people keep painting the chassis gold. I think because in a lot pics it looks gold , it does to me, so I think thats why. All the pics I have found myself it appears that the color looks gold-ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Schmidt Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Actually the filler tube goes in the hole not the spot ya have it in .... One thing I learned from years of changing oil ya have reference in front of ya a lot lol The builds look good I need to get on top of mine and quick. Probably gonna end up with a Curbside KR too lol I wanna steal its engine for the Bird of Prey .....hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 i've seen the pics too, to me it's not gold but maybe to everyone else it is. seems like everyone went gold bottomside nuts when Dave T. built that big scale Shelby and IMO it looks horrible. there has to be a better, more accurate color to use than bright honking gold. I am sure there is, but intell we know what the color used on car is( maybe we already do), all I know is I have seen pics with both over spray/ painted chassis and with the gold ish/ copper-ish color on it. So really its quessing on what way to paint the chassis. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Sigh...crud...I'm gunna have to go down to Friendship Ford and crawl under one of the two GT's they have ('05 and an '08 I think),ain't I? I might just do that,but it won't be this week,supposed to keep getting the rain we got today. Thanks,Dave (and all of ya's) for the info I got the remaining mold lines smoothed out on the body,and primer laid on for finishing tomorrow sometime... That's about all I'll do tonight,gotta get the kids up and out in a bit over 6 hours,and gunna do the eve's dishes before I crash (typical schedule for me,but usually later,LOL! I stay up late,get up early,and take a nice mid-day nap ). Rick,look for a PM More to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Schmidt Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) What do you mean the two 07 GT500s ?? I know of the 07 Gt500 ... then the 08 GT500KR Edited November 22, 2011 by Rick Schmidt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Rick, Revell has the two 2007 Shelby GT500 kits, one the box art is white with blue stripes, the other is black with red stripes. Each kit has different wheels, is it the same kit just with different box and wheels? Edited November 22, 2011 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Schmidt Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I aint never seen the one with the black box art ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think I figured it out, its the same kit, just re-boxed differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Must be,I ain't seen it neither... Edited November 22, 2011 by Olskoolrodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I must say that wheels in the supra tires looks good, I wish had a few supra kits right now. The tires from revells custom silverardo also are a good fit for the stang wheels, you have to some trimming on the wheels to get them to fit. Must be,I ain't seen it neither... you have the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think you are right, its just the same kit with different art work or photo of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave,thanks for the tips on tires. I knew about the Supra tires and had bought a few of those kits on clearance at Magic Mart at the old place (NOT to bring the house fire up again,LOL),but most of em were lost to the heat from the house fire,I gots one set uneffected left though (and they're here ). Didn't know the Eclipse tires would work or that they were staggered sizing on the '10s (haven't opened it and looked yet),I may have one of those NIB salvegable over there,I'll check now that I know Edited November 23, 2011 by Olskoolrodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Post 'em up here anyways,no need to make a commitment as there's no deadline,it's just a place to post them as you build 'em regardless of how long in between posts...besides,we (read: I) wanna see 'em!

whale392 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Ok, Thanks to DoubleD and some scavenging, I think I have everything I need to start an S197 build. I will take inventory here soon and start the story, and maybe the build as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale392 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Dave, I think you and I have a lot of the same ideas bouncing around in our beans..............and with the resurgence of 'tribute' cars, these could be viable market cars!

martinfan5 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Hey Double that 350 looks really good, where did the side scoops come from?, and you are more then welcome to join, I will add you to list, there is no end deadline so take your time bud Edited November 23, 2011 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 GT350's looking SO sweet,you have to finish it,i'd be a crime not to! Jonathan,also (side scoops),I've both seen some on eBay,and I have a set-when I ordered that second resin hood I had poted a few pages back,there was a mold issue and it was held up while he corrected it,and for my having to wait an extra week,he sent a set of em'. I'll dig em out and post pics later,but if memory serves when I seen em,they were only like,$2-4 a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
