Thanks Carl! A mockup to check my work. I had to remove some of the right inner panel edge to get the body to sit down over the chassis correctly. Dex Parios will return...

Over the last couple of days, I have been trying to install the interior onto the chassis. This has been a bear of a project, but I do seem to be winning! Right now I am detailing the dash and doing some touchups. Dex Parios will return...
-
The chassis is partially assembled. It is a good thing I have built this kit before as the model I have helps with parts location. The kit instructions SUCK! No wonder everything kept falling apart! Gluing surfaces are almost none existent! I painted some parts and others are awaiting paint. Dex Parios will return...

I added the mid coat of paint today. Since my air brush has been still for a month, I decided to give it a quick cleaning before I sprayed the mid coat. Next will be the clearcoat. More AMG GT to come...

Thank you, Anthony! I appreciate it!

Thank you Anders! Much appreciated!

The resin wheels and tires have been reassembled! I have painted the exhaust system with Tru-color Paint Aluminum. This stuff is shiny! I included a picture from the TV series to show the car I am building. Dex Parios will return...

I kept looking at my assembled Pony wheels and I didn't like them. I took them apart, cleaned them up, painted them and reassembled them. Dex Parios will return...

Thank you Chuck, Bob and Jurgen!

Thanks Carl! The grey is just Tamiya Light Grey Primer.

I did a mockup with the Mustang and the resin Pony wheels that I got off eBay. The engine is mostly assembled save for the ignition coil and some touchups. I used the stock exhaust manifolds (which are not listed in the instructions) instead of headers and I may have to extend the front pipes on the exhaust system to reach the manifolds. Dex Parios will return...

Thank you, Oliver and Bob!

Looks great John! Excellent idea! Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you Jim, Larry, David, Jeremy, Rob and Craig! I appreciate it!

Thank you, David, Phil, Mario, Glen, Carl and Chris. The paint was an issue, but like the football couch has always said-keep running that play until you get it right!

I have started the foiling process. Since my foil is several years old, I have resorted to using Micro Metal Foil Adhesive before I cut my foil. Just another step in my process. The hood vents got some Aluminium BMF. More Split Window to come... -

mrmike replied to mrmike's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I primered and painted the '63 Vette this afternoon and it looks so much better. No trash in the paint, which is a good sign! I used the same paint-Dupli-Color Emerald Green Metallic. More Split Window to come...
