Thank you very much! I forgot to mention that the paint is Tamiya Light Gray Primer with Tamiya TS-13 clear. This is a photo of the chassis.

Hi, all; In honor of 4/29 Day, I'm posting this recently - completed 2008 Mustang. It started out as a Revell Bullitt kit (many thanks to Bruce @ Rocketfin Hobbies!). I read an article on how Jon Kaase took a 2008 GT and dropped one of his Boss Nine engines into it. He was able to accomplish this and retain the stock hood, so I decided to try it in scale. With the exception of the engine, transmission, driveshaft and exhaust system, the model is stock. I used the basic engine block, heads and valve covers from an old Johan Mercury Comet pro stock kit, a Revell Viper T-56 transmission, a driveshaft comprised of K & S aluminum tubing and parts box u-joints. I also used Oatey plumbing solder and Machined Aluminum Specialties (MAS) Scaletrapp mufflers for the exhaust system. The battery is a Greg Olsen 3D printed item, the intake manifold and headers are from the parts box. The carb is an aftermarket Demon unit. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.
