Bills72sj Posted September 7, 2020 Just started a simultaneous build of 5 Mustangs. This is #3. Just finished prepping the body for paint. Once I have all the bodies prepped I will paint them all the same day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bills72sj Posted September 21, 2020 Just finished the chassis for my 1967 Mustang GT. Plans for it have changed to the chassis will go into this Shelby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canso65 Posted September 21, 2020 Nice clean work on the chassis Bill. I'll be following along with your build. I have 5 of these sitting just waiting to be built. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bills72sj Posted October 5, 2020 Painted the body today. Not pleased with the results. The rattle can blue covered the white Tamiya primer as though it was a sponge. Will probably end up in the purple lake. I ran out of blue paint too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam I Am Posted October 7, 2020 Assembly line mustangs, great idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills72sj Posted October 8, 2020 Thanks Sam, The builds go a bit more efficiently and it allows forward progress even on days things go sideways. I have used the same process for a number of builds now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geno Posted October 9, 2020 Wow, those are gonna be great, can't wait to see the progress. Great start Bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills72sj Posted October 11, 2020 Thanks Gene. My building has been on pause for a week. I started a new job after a month of unemployment. So I am adapting to that. I hope to get back at them soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills72sj Posted October 18, 2020 After two weeks of not building, the paint job quality and color were unacceptable. Just dropped it in the purple lake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills72sj Posted November 15, 2020 Finally back at it after 3 weeks of 12-14 hour days at work. Got a lot of detail painting done. Started some assembly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills72sj Posted December 17, 2020 Been slow going lately due to a busy life. I have the interior done and engine in the chassis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam I Am Posted December 17, 2020 That is a sweet interior Bill ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMT68 Posted December 17, 2020 Great detail on the interior and chassis. I have the '68 kit (unbuilt) which I believe is the original tooling whereas I'm guessing the tooling for the '67 was updated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bills72sj Posted January 3 Finally got the body clean by alternating between brake fluid and Super Clean. Unfortunately the weather around here is not permitting me to paint it. So in the box it goes until spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
