thank you for your comment, I may post an underhood one.. its ok but the options were limited but there was some modifications there to.

Glad you notifced the cut detail its a small decal, simple to do but obviously adds a huge realism to the build (really thick decals to which wernt great). this was my first mustang having mainly ever build modern cars but wanted something could experiment with and learn different techniques lucky to have a few elenors I plan to build in future as well as dome different year mustangs

As you can see from these builds (some up to 30 years old) there are a lot of options for the engine compartment from resin parts to bodies to parts from the AMT 67GT350 kit.  You'll notice the grille opening is body color and only the grille and trim should be chrome.  Looking at my older builds I would have added more parts but there was only a limited amount of resin parts available back in the old days.  I apologize if I have hacked the thread but I enjoy this site very much and try to pass on some tips and I learn so much from others builds.

Super job you did here! Like some others said, the exhaust work is outstanding especially!

Saw this one on Facebook by a Japanese builder.  He corrected the hood and reshaped the front end and replaced the grill with mesh screen.
