1989 Mustang

[Harold]

Here's one I started two years ago. This is the Monogram '89 Mustang. I decided that I was going to be using the seats from a newer Mustang, and last mont, I dragged this one out and altered the rear seat to match. Yhe color is Polly S Reefer White with a hint of Polly S Tarnished Black to get the gray I wanted. The inserts and dash top were painted with some Polly S dark blue I had, and the flocking was a custom mix of light blue and black. The outside was painted two years ago, so all I can tell you is its Dupli- Color (I clear coated last week with Dupli- Color clear).

This is from two years ago...

Looks pretty good. Is that the Super Stallion engine?

Very nice looking build so far! Another Super Stallion engine that just looks right in a Fox. I look forward to seeing this one completed.

(Then again, I am a FOX guy).

I'm not sure about the engine's origins- it came my way four years ago in a box of parts someone gave me. I was polishing the hood, and burned through to the silver base in one tiny spot, so....I mixed some Medium Blue Metallic (Plasti-Kote) and Universal Black (Dupli- Color) and dry brushed over it. Now I'll clear that and the tail lights, detail the tail lights and clear them again. I need to also whip up some plumbing for the blower intakes. As for the top boot, I've been agonizing over dark blue (to match the top) or gray. I've decided on gray.

Gray will look good on that color combo.

Nearing completion. As you can see, I opted for the gray boot. The tail lights were an annoyance to paint (two hours with a toothpick, jeweler's loup and a truckload of patience). I had to finagle the 302 headers to work on the mod motor, and I made a new driveshaft from the kit part and some aluminum tubing. The electric fans came from the parts box. I have to pop the windshield out and raise it up a tad bit higher. Other than that, I just need to make some intake runners (I'll route them into the fenderwells nearest the core support), polish and install the hood and detail and install the headlight lenses.

That's a good looking pony. I'm glad you didn't give up on it.

That's looking very nice! I think, that I have a red one around here that i started at about the same time you started that one...
