miatamadman Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I finally got my hands on one and was able to take a break from my commission builds. Needless to say, I couldn't help myself and out came the saw blade!! The wheels and tires are out of the Ford Harley Edition kit. I still haven't decided if I'm going to use the scoop or go with the shaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miatamadman Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Dupli-Color sandable primer. Cheap and works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatamadman Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 As much as I dislike the kit supplied wheels, I decided to give them a try, mounted on some parts box tires And here it is with the larger rims out of the Ford Harley kit, mounted on the same tires.

Dr. Cranky Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Looking real good. Love that deep red. Wow, beautiful results thus far. Keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I agree with Dave, those Harley rims are a little too thick for the Mustang, although the sparkle and general design goes nicely on the car. That T-Top conversion was done VERY nicely. I'm thoroughly impressed. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatamadman Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah they do. Even though they're the same size, they do look larger. I'm thinking about sticking with the stock wheels and keeping it more of a factory look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Excellent work so far!maybe Ford should consider doing the same on the 1:1 mustang,can't wait to see the final result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
