mustang1989

As was mentioned earlier, that interior rocks! Great job on the battery, cables and fan assy.

Although I don't go ahead and start building something else, the caged tiger is always there................just itchin' to start another kit. Sometimes its everything I can do to not start another kit especially once I cross the 3-4 month marker with a build...and even more so when I cross the 9 month marker!!! Looks like you are off to a great start with this Charger here! I like that shade of blue.

Heya Pat. First off the finish on your Mustang looks great man! Secondly I found out quick on my Challenger build that the black wash wasn't gonna work so don't feel like the lone ranger with that dark wash application. What worked in military modeling world didn't here for me on the automotive side. Hope you're able to remove it successfully bud. P.S. I love that shop scene!!!! Gives it that nice 1:1 "under construction" look.

Thanks for the tip Fred! Took me a minute to look at it all and figure it out but I've got it!

That's a big question. Lets see..........I need to: 1. Finish the BMF and all side marker light painting and door handles 2. Refurbish the original grill and front valance. 3. Replace the tail light assy and rear valance 4. Install mirrors-I'll most likely pin these. 5. Paint the clear plastic window sparring to match the black headlining. I very much dislike the sparred window assy. It looks cheap and takes away from the interior finish. 6. BMF the molded in w/s wipers on the clear plastic window as well as BMF the inside rear view mirror glass, 7. Install the exhaust 8. Install the radiator 9. Install the engine/ xmsn assy and run the wires to the firewall.(to the ballast resistor and w/s wiper motor) 10. Install the voltage regulator to the firewall 11. Install all coolant hoses, i.e. radiator and heater hoses. 12. Install the master cylinder and route the brake lines into a recess in the frame leading into "never never" land. 13. Paint and install the hood to include BMF on the leading edge of the hood. 14.Install the horn and route the electrical ckts into the engine harness 15. Clean up and detail out the original fuel door and install 16. Stretch a section of sprue and use it for a radio antenna 17. Paint and install rear spoiler 18. and polish out some minor blemishes on the body. There...I think I covered it all. Dan:Thank you sir! I hope it turns out ok after all of this! lol JC , John and Carl:Thanks for the encouragement bud! Everybody: I applied the BMF to the drivers side trim/ drip rail. This side was not cooperating at all but I made it through it after about an hour. Still have the rear window trim, side marker light trim and door handles to go.

Totally awesome! Don't know of any other way to describe it! Thanks for the tip on the pics as well Tim!

Good grief! These are truly blowing my mind! I would have experienced sensory overload with all of these builds on my bench!!! Lookin' great Tom!

Now that's what I'm talking about!!! Turnin' it up a notch!!!

Man you are the master of detail and building Jim! This looks outstanding!!! Glad to hear the good news about your wife man.

Thanks Tim and Jim! I did get some sleep last night. I already feel better! Not a whole lot of progress this morning. I got the windshield moldings and the R/H side drip rail moldings applied. We're gettin' there................

That fan is fantastic JC. Aww come on with the detail..........you can always add hoses and clamps and a dipstick. lol

That engine is tops Tim! How'd you get the stand alone engine pics with no background?

Thank you Lee and Tom!!! I'm going to bed in about an hour! I'm probably gonna sleep a little later in the morning I think.

Hydraulic hoses to the cylinders? That's a great idea! You're doing this build all kinds of justice and that would make a great addition!! P.S. This build is soooo cool to watch!!! Keep the pics and updates coming Dan!

Thanks Dan! Yeah I'm glad I got a little rest too. Too close for comfort!

You know fellas I haven't put this out officially until now. This GB will be extended until April 31st. I'll make it so in the title. Thanks for you guys continued participation here and look forward to seeing more builds in progress and finished builds until then, Joe

Looks great so far with the body work! I'm in!

LOL!!! You must have quite the stash to not remember you had it! Still a cool score though!

Tom: LOL !!! Got a couple this morning here. Dan: I polished it out a little bit to smooth out some of the irregularities but for the most part I'm not going to push my luck! lol Tim: I had to take a break from the forums yesterday for the most part. Just didn't get enough rest over the weekend and my body was letting me know about it. I dozed right through a red light yesterday and decided that maybe yesterday evening/last night wasn't going to be spent on the forums but resting instead. I feel a helluva lot better this morning. Between yesterday morning and this morning I managed to get about 45 minutes of benchtime in. I've started on the BMF. Although it aint a whole lot I figured I'd better post some progress to let you all know I'm still among the living here........ I got the rear trim done on the deck lid and the quarter panels: and the side window channel trim: I'll be picking up the pace in the coming days fellas

Got some progress today on the build in the form of starting on the BMF application. I managed to get the area at the rear part of the car where the trunk is and the drivers and passengers quarter window post/ track. So far I've had decent luck with it and will post photos tomorrow after I've made some more progress.

So far , so good!! Body work is coming out smoothly!

No problem Tim. That's what we're here for bud and this is looking great so far BTW!

Man that thing looks good Tom!!!! The great part is that the level of detail and work is as good as if you just built one build, let alone six!! Great work man! Just 5 more! lol

Coming together nicely. Looks like that motors gonna fit in there like a glove!
