New build i started last week,bought the kit when the tuner craze was going on in 2004 or so,the box art did nothing for me,but can be built stock. Color is Tamiya Bright Red,was undecided about using the rear spoiler,but went with it in the end. Interior is German grey/Nato Black,i used tamiya Semi gloss black on the suspension and tamiya yellow on the sway bars for a aftermarket look.The engine was painted various silvers/aluminum. The kit decals worked well for their age i added a old detail master CD to add some life to the interior. Chassis all put together,i added the usual heat stained exhaust,decided not to weather the chassis. Interior is complete,i added seatbelts and black embossing powder for carpeting.

Mail from yesterday,Missing Link Ram Air underhood ducting,for the 1971 mustang.

Very different,but still very cool,is this a resin body or scratchbuilt?.

Awesome!.👍

That's to bad,but still a good looking build!👌

Thanks for the comments guys!,much appreciated!!.👍

Just the bottom of the radiator top,it has a couple of ejection marks that need sanding down they prevent it from fitting flush which in turn the hood won't sit flush either.

Thanks so much for the positive comments!.🙂

Good looking Trans Am!!👍

Thanks guys!!👍

I've been on his site on Ebay,but haven't seen anything listed yet.

Great color choice,it suits the car perfectly!!

Been a rough life for that car!.😮

Thanks everyone for the comments and likes!!.🙂

She's all wrapped up and posted in Under Glass,thanks folks for the comments and views.👍🙂

Hit the finish line with this build the other day,color is Calypso Coral,kit is simplified in a few areas,but no fit issues at all.I added the Louvers and spoiler,but i think the car looks cleaner without them,gave this build a antenna to.🤠 I added different licence plates and P/E licence plate frames since the plates were to small for the backings in the kit. The front still looks a little to light and needs more panel wash. I only just added spark plug wires,but i need to clean up that aircleaner! Went with an all black interior,next one i'll go with a black/white interior.

Arrived this morning ,some headlights from Scaleproductions i have alot of old annuals to use these on.🤠

Love the subtle color choice, i has that early 70's street cruiser look.👍

Awesome job on the interior and exterior!!👌

Looks good!,i built the revell version and had a hell of a time getting the rear area to go together!.

Okay final assembly has begun,the front grille may need more panel wash as it seems a little to light still,for the black areas on the front fascia i used decals from my stash cut to size for a cleaner look and i used red and blue detailer for the grille emblem. The body to chassis fit was perfect,but sits a tiny bit low in the back. The decal on the fan shroud took lots of decal solution to sit flat. The instructions call for adding the rear panel after the body/chassis are put together,but i glued the rear panel in first then added the rear bumper and taillight in 1st,then put the chassis/body together.I used Tamiya Black panel wash for the area around the taillights and gas cap. Thats all for now,Happy Easter everyone!!

Luv the color and the wheels!.👌

Thanks!,it's alot easier than trying to use decals on the dash/console/steering wheel.i think it's how i'll do all my woodgrain now.🙂

Pretty much every picture i could see of the interior of a 70'429 it's what i saw.🤷‍♂️

Okay i have a small update the interior is done i added embossing powder for carpeting and added seatbelts. I noticed that the mustang has part of the seatbelt notched to the headliner area so thats what i did as well.Now final assembly can begin.
