Thanks everyone! diodes are a great idea. The tires are from my stash. I think they were from a Lambo kit. Maybe Tamiya.

Amazing job on your Mustang! Your detail is killer. Everytime I see this build I see something new. That interior is awesome -woodgrain and love all the details under the hood too.

Wow, you finished her up already? She's beautiful!
-
That is killer cool! Pure muscle. Great Build!

This on is done. It can be found Under Glass

Just finished up this one. The silver outside and red inside are both Duplicolor. Also used a Molotow 1mm pen to touch up the trim. The wheels are from the Boyd Shezoom kit by Testors. This was a hoot to build as a street car. I had some trouble deciding on which wheels I would use but I'm happy with my decision. No real troubles building this but I did find the glass a little strange. It was more like vinyl than plastic. I used the stock front suspension and was able to make the front wheels poseable. For the engine, I added my usual heater hoses -this is the easiest add to any model and I feel they look the part. I did manage to add plug wires and a distributor as well as add a fuel line and a filter. This is the first time I've added a fuel filter. It was a piece of clear tree drilled out. The radiator hose is a piece of 18 gauge wire with the rubber shield on. I didn't add the air cleaners because I didn't want to hide those cool carbs and fuel lines. I placed her on a piece of mirror that I got from The Dollar Tree. I bent up some paper clips to make stilts so you can see the under side. I decided against pipes and mufflers just to tick off the neighbors. Thanks for looking

That is wild! love the rust

Thanks Bill. It looks like I did get it right on my '56 Bel Air then afterall. Google image research confirmed it. Huh, sometimes flying by the seat of my pants does work out sometimes...As for the '64, I'm going to leave these doors alone. I was just messing around with my knife to see if I could do it. I do appreciate the positive comments! If I get to hung up on the details, it would take the fun out of it.

I built this over 20 years ago. I did carve open the doors but I was pretty inexperienced at the time and this made the body VERY flimsy. Not sure of the color but shown here it's more blue. In reality it is more green. I was into lowriders at the time and went with the gold wires. It may be time to revisit this one. Thanks for looking

dang, those seats are very believable to me.

this is the AMT/ERTL release from 1989. Everything I've built so far has been bone stock except for the wheels and the few engine addons. these are the manifolds which came with this kit. The box says it's a 425hp 409 cubic inch v8

Got the dash all buttoned up I'm planning to make the front wheels poseable. I'm going with these old school wires instead of the white walls above. They were from a '63 I believe. Engine compartment ready for it's power plant. I added the heater hoses made from ear bud leads. Motor just about ready. I probably should have filled in the hole for the front axle pass thru. I added a 4 barrel from the '66 Chevelle kit and drilled holes for the heater hoses. Scratch built the distributor from pieces I found at the craft store and added a fuel line and scratched out a filter from some spare chrome tree. Just need to add on the alternator and fan. I want to straighten out those plug wires too. Still so much to do. I never planned to build this one up. All I wanted to do was hone my door opening skills. The body was already painted gold from 20 or so years ago and for some reason I sprayed flat white on the right front. This car isn't intended to be a show piece and will never be entered into any contest I'm just trying out new things as I go. Getting used to the chrome pen and where to use it and where to foil instead. This is a fun little build. Stay Tuned...

Beautiful truck! A true show piece. What happened around the windshield on the passenger side? -
Beautiful color! And the finish is spot on. You should invest in one of those molotow 1mm pens. You wont regret it. This looks awesome so far
-
Gettin' some details done. The problem with cameras it that they pick up all the flaws! In real life from 1 foot away it doesn't look this bad. Detailed up the firewall and added the heater hoses. Tried to make the grille more presentable. Stay Tuned...

Great color

Photobucket screwed its members. I'll repost the images for this thread.

That is KILLER! Great finish on the black and that engine bay is awesome!
-
Great interior. Like the roll bar. Amazing job on the foil work on the emblems.
-
Love the '62 Bird! Can't wait to see that windshield
-
Ouch! Mine was brittle too and broke numerous times. What are your plans for her? Stock? Custom?
