    Adding some detail under the trunk lid.

    Cut open the trunk. Now to work on filling in some of that gap and make a nice set of hinges. There is going to be a lot of goodies and detail inside !!

    I had scratch built the shift-lite and reset button from a small piece of styrene. Drilled two small holes and glued in a small piece of metal rod, painted black and the other I used transparent yellow for the light. Below is the final result and the completed dashboard.

    EVOLUTION OF THE WHEEL .. ! This Scale Productions transkit had a aluminum steering wheel, which I believed was cast from an earlier Revell AC Cobra kit. It was a nice upgrade, however, the one used for the Eleanor car was similar to the Shelby Cobra steering wheel, but was manufactured by the aftermarket company Lecarra. This was a 15” diameter 2-piece wooden steering wheel and it had a 9 bolt pattern around the center cap. I tried to modify the steering wheel and the finished result has a scratch built center cap from aluminum sheet and the painted wood grain is separated in the middle to expose the metal. The turning signal lever was upgraded and replaced with a thin rod. I had dabbed a little glue on the end and let it harden. Repeated 3x and then painted over with silver. These little small things are the easiest to do and they bring more realism to your builds. TCB, Adam

    The aftermarket pedals I was going to use did not have the same hole pattern as the one on the Eleanor Mustang that I was using as reference. So, I made my own from some embossing foil and drilled out the correct hole pattern. I also trimmed down the foot pedal bars to almost half the thickness. The pic below shows the comparison.

    Well, over the last few days, this was nagging me in the back of my mind. I always try to add the most (correct) detail that I can to my builds. The “B” seatbelts have been re-done and look more like the 60’s style quick-release racing seatbelts. The “A” seatbelts just ended up looking too stock. I will take them off and use them for the backseat. The picture below is what I used for reference and I have done a side by side comparison.

    Time to fasten up ! I have added the leather patch under the buckle to simulate what the racing harnesses had in the late 60’s. These belts were the quick fastener type, but this kit came with the PE ones you see above. Ordering ones online would have cost too much and take too long to arrive, currently.

    Looking for ways to add more detail to the dashboard. In figure A, I have added aluminum rings to enhance the bezels. In figure B, there are no aluminum rings. I have also added BMF to the tach & speedo gauges, which is noticeable from a side angle and top view.

    71 mustang

    adamelvis replied to michelle's topic in Model Cars

    I like your style on this build. It really sets it apart from any other ‘71 Mustang. I would have painted the rear bumper to match the body color. But that is just my opinion. Great Job !
