Mr. Show

Very interesting project you have there. I think, this car is best when built to Pro Stock Drag Racer, but this one isn't really bad style either... Very good job so far, I think, i must buy this kit some day, your work looks awesome!



Oh, are you serious!      It's about - 15 celsiusdegrees here, in Lapland, there was over 30 minus degrees few days ago. Freezing...

Well, 20 degrees F which is a little over 6C. But it's the wind that has been bad which has been minus 17C.  

Carving some brake discs. This will actually be my first complete model and I wasn't expecting this much custom work, but it's been a lot of fun so far.



The temperature today is finally over 20 degrees so hopefully I can get some painting done.

Very interesting...........I've been working on a custom 87 T-Bird for some time and I put it back in the box because I havent been able to come up with a way to do the rear end styling. This gives me ideas........although I don't have a Mustang to steal a rear bumper from. Here's an idea of where mine is going.

That looks great. Is that spoiler from a firebird?

Also, I have an aero bird bumper from the Tbird SC kit if you want it. I'll be doing that one stock so won't need it. Here's a picture:



The slots on the bottom are exhaust ports. Kind of funky looking, reminds me of the custom Buick Electra rear end.

Also for others doing a car with the 2.3l in it, the book "40 years of Mustang" has some outstanding pictures of it. They have details I've not seen anywhere else which will be really helpful. Should be able to get it at your local library. Also a really interesting book otherwise; it was sad reading about how the Mustang got crippled in the late '70s and '80s, and a lot of information on how car companies worked back then. Ford did some shady things.

Small update. I've had it with the stock bumper. It never fit right and was always too short for the body leaving major gaps that I can't repair at my skill level, so I'm using one from an old f body Mustang. It fits perfectly and won't take much work to align to the body. Just have to strip it, fill in the writing at the bottom, hit it with the dremel and some filing and it should be good.

Very nice. I really like the clean look and the wheels are perfect.
