gbtr6 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Starting on a build to replicate my sons first car, a 67 Mustang coupe. Got it at 16, still has it. He’s 31 now. I got the Motor City Resins coupe trans kit. It looks great. Started on the wheels. They are drag mags from the 60’s. I got some wheels from member 68 short fleet, Jason. I drilled out the windows like my sons. Need to finish paint aluminum. I do need the side vents as the donor I’m using had them glue bombed in. Can’t retrieve them. One question, the resin kit includes interior panels, but the back parts lack detail. Any suggestions? I’ll try to keep up and post progress as I go.

vamach1 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It’s cool to build a replica of a family members car. You may want to get a hold of a complete AMT fastback kit as a donor which should have whatever parts you need. Typically the panels in the back area would only have a window crank and maybe an ashtray on one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks. Yes, I have a complete Shelby GT-350, and a started fastback kit. The vent panels on the outside rear quarters are boogered up on the fastback. None for the Shelby. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Slow progress. Deciding how to fill in gap between back seat and interior panel. Any suggestions? I'll be seeing the car this week and will take some pictures. I like the color of the exhaust header. It's appliance epoxy stainless steel.

gbtr6 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Slow progress. Some pics of the chassis. Painted, weathered a bit. I made straps for the gas tank from left over pe fret. Also making exhaust tips from aluminum tube. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Fun project! I’m a sucker for family cars. Great idea using the PE fret for gas tank straps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Little more of an update. Got the MCG detail set and added the door locks, gas cap, fender letters and horses. Built an auto shifter. Also made the rocker trim from evergreen and foil covered. Used the Molotow pen for chrome. Getting there. Am going to see him Friday, so need to get it done to surprise him.
