Dominik Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 a real Beauty! The paint, the wheels (love them!) the blue interior...beautiful!
Jantrix Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Very nicely done. I did a big kit bash build of that model, of the Cherry 2000 Mustang. Very nice work on yours.
Sixties Sam Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Very nice build of a classic! The white and blue looks good on it. Good work! Sam
drodg Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Very nice build. Oh and I am glad you got rid of the wide whitewalls.
Mr Stock Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Very nice build. Oh and I am glad you got rid of the wide whitewalls. Thanks Im glad too, they were a bit OTT !, I have a new set of thin whitelines on the way from Vinyl Nation, they should hopefully look a lot better
Harry P. Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Very true Harry, but it would have defeated my object of a slumpbuster if I started detailing.....because I wouldnt know when to stop ! Interesting point though is there an aftermarket supplier for various mirrors etc ? Not sure about aftermarket sources (although I think there would have to be one somewhere)... but the old spare parts box might work.
Mr Stock Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Not sure about aftermarket sources (although I think there would have to be one somewhere)... but the old spare parts box might work. Definitely a gap in the market there Id say. Just checked the spares box and it looks like the only spare mirrors I have are some huge west coast style disco van ones.........hmm might be an interesting look on a Mustang Ive obviously built far too many mirrorless AMT kits, I'm of to hunt for some online suppliers.
Snake45 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I grew up building the AMT and MPC annuals with nary a mirror to be found, so I'm quite accustomed to the "slick" look. To this day, even if they're in a kit, I don't use them unless they're integral to the styling of the car. They'd just get broken off anyway, leaving a nasty glue scar. "What's behind me is not important!"
Mr Stock Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks for all the kind comments everyone, and the concerns on the wide whites ...they are gone ! Lol Ill post an update photo when i receive the narrow whitelines next week.
horsepower Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Harry, not all states required outside mirrors, California started requiring them in '67, I can remember having to buy them at the local parts store, and drilling holes in the fenders to mount them on my '56 Chevy.
RAMBENNA Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 great job, I like the white walls , nice realistic build
Mr Stock Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Well as promised, here is an updated photo with the narrow whitelines from Vinyl Nation, instead of the huge whitewalls i had on the Mustang before....looks a whole lot better I think
59-Desoto Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Yes the narrow WW look much better , nice looking Stang
Sledsel Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Very nice. Have built a bunch of these and still enjoy them. May not be the most detailed Mustang kit, but builds up and looks nice on the shelf
Mr Stock Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 Very nice. Have built a bunch of these and still enjoy them. May not be the most detailed Mustang kit, but builds up and looks nice on the shelf Thanks Gene and Andy I totally agree, its a very basic old tech kit, but I just like the way it looks.
Teds57 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Fantastic Build and yes it looks way better without the wide whites
