Jantrix Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Very nicely done. I did a big kit bash build of that model, of the Cherry 2000 Mustang. Very nice work on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Very nice build of a classic! The white and blue looks good on it. Good work! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Very nice build. Oh and I am glad you got rid of the wide whitewalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stock Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Very nice build. Oh and I am glad you got rid of the wide whitewalls. Thanks Im glad too, they were a bit OTT !, I have a new set of thin whitelines on the way from Vinyl Nation, they should hopefully look a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Very true Harry, but it would have defeated my object of a slumpbuster if I started detailing.....because I wouldnt know when to stop ! Interesting point though is there an aftermarket supplier for various mirrors etc ? Not sure about aftermarket sources (although I think there would have to be one somewhere)... but the old spare parts box might work.

Mr Stock Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Not sure about aftermarket sources (although I think there would have to be one somewhere)... but the old spare parts box might work. Definitely a gap in the market there Id say. Just checked the spares box and it looks like the only spare mirrors I have are some huge west coast style disco van ones.........hmm might be an interesting look on a Mustang Ive obviously built far too many mirrorless AMT kits, I'm of to hunt for some online suppliers.

Snake45 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I grew up building the AMT and MPC annuals with nary a mirror to be found, so I'm quite accustomed to the "slick" look. To this day, even if they're in a kit, I don't use them unless they're integral to the styling of the car. They'd just get broken off anyway, leaving a nasty glue scar.

Mr Stock Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks for all the kind comments everyone, and the concerns on the wide whites ...they are gone ! Lol Ill post an update photo when i receive the narrow whitelines next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Harry, not all states required outside mirrors, California started requiring them in '67, I can remember having to buy them at the local parts store, and drilling holes in the fenders to mount them on my '56 Chevy.

Sledsel Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Very nice. Have built a bunch of these and still enjoy them. May not be the most detailed Mustang kit, but builds up and looks nice on the shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stock Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Very nice. Have built a bunch of these and still enjoy them. May not be the most detailed Mustang kit, but builds up and looks nice on the shelf Thanks Gene and Andy I totally agree, its a very basic old tech kit, but I just like the way it looks.
