I'd just use 4mm x 2mm styrene for that, and most other.
I plucked this pic from FB. I hope the poster doesn't mind but I thought I could use it in the future, and I think you can use it for what you have in mind altered for use on a p/u.
Well, I really didn't think you were trying to duplicate the original colors but that's cool too.
I was thinking some colors that really pop since its such an extreme build.
Whatever you come up I'm sure we'll love.
Thanks Kurt, and yes I did end up using bead wire for the exhaust.
Because the wire was coated in black, I couldn't sand out the dents from the pliers.
I might do it anyway and repaint or make them look more like the result of bottoming out.
Well I finally got paint on this thing.
I was a bit skittish because I've botched a couple of sprays lately but this came out great paintwise.
There was a little ghosting of the Mustang emblems but the decals will cover them. You really have to look hard to see them.
The color isn't exact, but its the closest I could find. Most golds are more brown.
Time for detailing now!
My next pics should be in the "Under Glass" section.
