512TR.


Shelby 427 1965

Recommended Posts

If I had to have a Ferrari, it'd be a white 512TR.

Funnily enough, I can't afford that. So, I'm setting out to create the closest

replica I can.

Winter is coming, which means it's too bloody cold to work outside on the Golf.. so it's model time :)

I'm gonna open and fabricate my own boot in the front, first time doing anything like this so it'll be fun.

So, a bit of progress. I stuck on the tunes;

and set up the model desk for workin'. iPad with reference pics at the ready!

So, after seeing this picture;

I saw that there is a line that isn't there beside the slot under the light. So, I scribed my own line in;

Then after scribing it over a lot, I got it off.

Then I got a start on the painting process:

This also shows the colour scheme - White with Tan interior.

I'm going to London for my first holiday in years on Monday for a week, hopefully I'll have more progress before then. If not, blame the GTI! :P

Thanks for looking, all comments appreciated.
