This has been one of those long lost TO-DO projects that has been put on hold for so long.

After Pete gave me some of his gorgeous red/burgundy paint, I had ScaleFinishes match some for me.

Shot it a little while ago, and then laid down some clear that Pete also brought over (do we see a theme here?)

So, it's getting there.

The wheels/rims are suggested by Gilbert in our club, they are from 1/18 scale JADA die cast/import models, from eBay.

Thanks, guys!

Yeah, that paint is not too shabby. :wub:

Did you chop the windshield frame/windshield, or is is just resting in place like that? I ask because I have a slightly shorter rear roof piece which was a test shot, so it might work if you want to lower the roof:

The kit came with the two options: tall/regular and chopped, with open chopped windshield frame, and the closed tall/regular one.

I love the chopped one.

I will try and find that scale real glass for the windshield.

I forgot who did that article on real glass.

Geary maybe?

I'm probably also going to remove the front bumpers/supports

run small rear nerf bars in the rear

I wanted to run Bob Dudek's aluminum front end, but the Mustang/kit IFS looks fine, maybe some RB Motion shocks, or see what Jim at MicroNitro has.

still in planning stages.

I wanted to send a bunch of stuff out to be chromed for it, maybe if get time I will

I was thinking of black fenders, but the silver base coat came out so nice, Pete said to just clear coat it and see how it looks.

Don't think I'll be doing the flat head, not with those big n little rims

I have that old five window body that may be good with the flattie.

I'm going to remove front bumper, yes?

Interior is just so plain.

There was not much detail to it from kit

dash is nice, just nothing else inside.

Wanted to get a Model Car Garage photoetch grille made for it, but that didn't happen.

For side trim, going to wait until car is done, then tape up the side, and do my Alcade trick to it.

Yes, it looks good with the silver fenders.

But you might think about re-coloring the top to a silver color complimentary to the fenders, and then do the interior in medium slate gray.

Just thoughts.
