My first car was a 1965 Mustang. I bought it for $800 in 1968. It had a 289 cu in engine with 2 4bbl barbs, solid lifters, Mallory dual point dist and a 456 rear end. Chrome reverse rims, bubble scoop, 4 speed and a slightly blue metal flake paint job. The guy I got it from said he was running in C/MP in the high 12 second range. I fabricated the hood with wood, epoxy, filler and lots of sanding. The chrome trim and wheels was done with MOLOTOW LIQUID CHROME. This is another model I started years ago before I lost interest. Still trying to get the motor right.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I am very pleased with how it came out. Once of my best I think.

I started this build in 2011, but, soon lost interest in model building all together. Started with a Revell 1/16 fed, Slixx decals, Competition Resins body kit and Machined Aluminum Specialties wire wheels. The large orange panel decals split on me. So, I taped off the body and applied Orange Pearl paint in place of the decals. I surprised myself at how good it came out.

I enjoy this show a lot. If you want to laugh, go to YOUTUBE and watch fan reactions to the shows. Some are from bars, some from private homes.

I expect most of you have seen this. I thought it was great -
Beautiful. I have built a couple of their 1/12 F1 models (and have 2 more) and several of the 1/20. Their quality on all that I have done is amazing. Are you using an aftermarket detail kit? Or, are you that good at detail painting. Once again, beautiful work. I will be watching for more updates. Thanks for posting.

Have you looked at zip ties for your belt? May take a bit of shaving though. As far as the the shading - you could try doing the orange first, then the liter color. Maybe have minimal paint coming out and build it up slow. Just a thought, I sure ain't no expert. Can't wait to see this one. good luck. here is my undertaker
