1966 Shelby GT350H in Red

[DanL]

Finally finished the GT350H... It was a tough build and I ended up buying a second kit just to finish it. I think it's an older molding so I had difficulty with some of the fitment but got it to work eventually. Then the paint nightmare began with the second coat of red turning into a wrinkled mess. Tried to remove it all with oven cleaner... no go. So I bought a second kit and did get it painted quite well with Rustoleum Apple Red. Lucky I did buy that second kit because the decals were a bigger nightmare than the paint... ultra ultra thin and positioned to fit over numerous deep curves and valleys of the body, I ended up using both sheets of decals to get through it. I resorted to cutting the single decal of the hood into 7 separate pieces and then piecing it all back together again. I'm just glad the build is over and does not look to bad. Sorry about the poor pictures. I'm working on improving that.

Very nice.

With all the trouble you had it came out looking really nice.  The Apple Red looks nice.  Great job.

Very nice.  Not a lot of 66 Hertz’s were made in colors other than black.

Well Dan, it came out great for your troubles.    There are some fitment issues and those decals are definately fussy but it builds out nicely. Good work!!

[John B.]

Very nicely done!

[Bainford]

Your perseverance paid off, Dan. That's a fine looking Mustang.

Looks great. I can see where the over-the-top stripes would be a real problem getting them to lay down. The paint finish looks very nice, and I like the interior as well. 

[cobraman]

Looks great in red. Nice work.

[kelson]

Looks good! and the decals over the body just don't fit properly,when i get around to mine i'll leave them off or paint them on.

[TransAmMike]

Having built this kit and with another one in the wings, painting the stripes on is definately advisable.  They are very hard to laydown flat over the scoop and on the valences front and rear.

Excellent work. I've used this Apple Red on interior parts but would consider trying it on a body after seeing how well this turned out. 

[PappyD340]

Very nice!

[DanL]

The apple red is a nice replacement for rich deep reds like ferrari  and BMW red. The paint is very good but I did use a black primer, so there are several coats on this model.

Well done! I like your color choice!

[Kah puts]

That's a tasty piece of kit!

[NOBLNG]

It’s a beauty! Excellent job on those decals…I would have guessed the stripes were painted on.

The gold stripes really work well on the red body, just plain sharp! Well done.

[happy grumpy]

Great choice of subject and color and I agree with bisc63 ; the gold looks pretty good on red.

[Oldcarfan27]

Fab-U-Lus color choice!

50 of the 1966 GT350h were delivered in red... It's a rare car and a nice change from the black. I never owned a mustang but have always appreciated them, especially the earlier ones.

Cheers

Thanks for all the nice comments... Working on recreating my 1965 Chevy SS that I owned in the early 70's
