Bills72sj Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Finally got my 3rd Mustang build across the finish line this year. It was a skillset expander for sure. Big engine, little car. Mini-tubbed, scratch built headers from solder (at 1st fro me) and another batch of custom decals. Comments welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn97 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I really like the look of the black teardrop hood with the silver and your home-made decals came out perfect. I’m amazed you were able to fit that wide SOHC engine in and still leave the tops of the strut towers and brace. Your scratch-built solder headers came out really nice in your WIP, too bad they’re so hidden. All around beautiful drag car build, thank you for sharing!

iBorg Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 How did you print the decals? Car looks really like a local bracket or lower class race car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 That is one fine looking Mustang. Had to look at that first picture a few times to determine if it was a model or for real; the background diorama is beautiful. Excellent work on a mighty fine build.

The engine was quite challenging to fit. With the interior, strut braces and both ends attached to the body, it was like a Chinese jigsaw puzzle to fit together.

Mike, They were formatted using old school MS Paint. I then printed them on ebay inkjet paper. 24 hours later they are sprayed with Testors 9200 Decal Bonder. A local class racer was the look I was going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 What a beautifully presented car in a completely believable setting. It is great to see a modern workshop, nicely laid out, neat and tidy, in contrast to the older crusty types that we often see. Your colour sense is superb - the scene just reeks of realism!

Dennis Lacy Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Tuff looking Mustang! Especially with every inch of the under hood filled with 427 Cammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Alan Alan Thank you for the feedback. I made the diorama for the express purpose of showing/photographing finished builds in a semi-realistic setting.
