I build cars in the style that I like. My Mustang Sleeper got 3 replies. 3 more than it deserved. It did not photograph well. However in real life it looks fantastic. I love it and that's all that matters.
This started out as a box stock build. Then it got a life of its own. Quite a few of the parts came out of my parts box. Tires/Wheels/Hub Caps/Glass Pak Mufflers/Tach/FI System/Seat Belts. I used aluminum tube for the exhaust and rear sway bar.
I mixed Wicked Colors Red Pear with Pearlx Gold. The Testors Gloss Coat was contaminated. When it dried it was like Dullcoat. Since it is a sleeper I left the paint as it is.
