All these great builds are starting to give me the itch to build a newer Mustang/ Shelby. Hummmmmmm

That sounds like a cool idea also.

This beauty came for me today. Scored this of the EvilBay. Bare in mind I say beauty not having opened the box yet so there could be some disappointment inside much like the Comet with no engine compartment walls or the AMT 73 Mustang I bought to make the original Elanor from Gone in 60 Seconds which despite what the box art depicts it's imposable to make a stock Mustang from this kit. Than after last night demoralizing Super bowl loss to the dreaded New Jersey Giants I tried to ease my pain some what by buying one of my all time grail kits. I know its not a rare kit but it's always been what I felt was a bit pricy. Maybe it was the Patrones talking but I had been watching this one and decided WTF.

That was my next question if you thin the spary paint after. Thanks for the info guys.

I hope this makes sense... I was curious to know for those of you who use rattle can paint do you ever use it in your airbrush? It's been my experience that one has more control when painting with an airbrush rather than a rattle can. Let’s not forget that there are decidedly more precise colors in the can. My question is how do you transfer the paint from the rattle can to a container cleanly for use with an air brush?

No criticisms here. Fantastic work from where I'm sitting

Welcome to the forum Rob. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

I'm a big fan of the Boss 429. You are doing a smashing job on this one.

Did you say that the roof was a carbon fiber decal? Can I ask where you got it from? That is very cool.

That's a nice collection of projects you got going on there Liam. Keep up the good work

Looks god from where I'm sitting

Thanks for the kind words guys There she sits with two cotes of color Interior shots Thanks for looking

Nice topic. I look forward to seeing more of this

Got it, thanks

Do you do that before or after the gloss cote?

That looks slick. So jealous...

Great idea but looks like it cold be very messy I don't mean to jack this thread but this is very cool. Stunning work

WOW, that is some stunning work on that vinyl top. I'm really digging this build

That is some shine. Very very impressive

The body has been primed and sanded. Next will be another round of Mr Surface Primer, light sanding and then some paint. The dash and door panels are masked and ready for some paint. Here is the paint I choose. Metallic Green First cote of paint

Well done. I like this a lot.

I like it. I'm tempted to put my fears behind me and build one of these newer stangs. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing the others.

That suck, I just found their site last month, Bummer.

Thanks Shane

Continuing with Jennifer its time to lay some carpet This process is a first for me. I found that my LHS sold this Flock like material. It was a smaller amount and cost less then then the actual Flocking material but I'm hoping it works the same. For those that have never used or seen how this works. First pour a little of the Flock like material into a strainer and sift. Before After Next I mixed a mixture of Elmers glue with some water Then apply the mix to the area that needs to be carpeted. Once the Flock is applied I pat it down with a finger and that's it. Considering this was my first attempt I was happy with the results Next I think I'll be tackling the body and some paint. Thanks for looking
