Reeves Racing Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I am calling this one done. It's a Revell 70 Boss Mustang with a Revell 66 Chevelle prostreet rear chassis grafted on. Wheels from one of the Revell ProMod kits and then parts box tires and decals.Paint is DupliColor.I tried to paint my own class numbers on the windshield instead of using a decal and I didn't like it. So I used some paint thinner to wipe it off and the windshield cracked. I knew better than this but had forgotten about paint thinner (mineral spirits) and clear plastic.It won't dull it or haze it but it makes it very susceptible to cracking. We found that out at the school bus factory I used to work for. We had a rash of clear dash lenses cracking, we found out the detail techs where using paint thinner to wipe the some areas of the dash that had overspray on them and wiping the lenses too. Made them crack. I know I am rambling but just trying to share the info.
tubbs Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 nice job Mitch. have been wanting to do one of these for a while so your build is motivation! 2 questions, where did the scoop and the headers come from?
Reeves Racing Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys. I added some sheet stock to raise up the kit scoop. The headers are a some modified NASCAR headers with some tube added and blended with some spot putty. They aren't perfect but the kit only comes with stock exhaust manifolds and that just won't get it done. It's a tight fit with the Boss engine. I am pretty sure the primaries come around the front of the lower control arms and under the front suspension on the real cars. Like the Johan Comet/Maveric, but I wasn't able to find a reasonable source for those headers so I took some artistic liberties with my engineering.. Edited October 12, 2015 by Reeves Racing added more info
Jmaracing Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Cool looking mustang Mitch. I like it! Looks fast!!
Mister Twister Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 That definitely fits the bill for a super gasser....Very nice work!
slusher Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Super nice looking Mustang. Great color and stance..
tubbs Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 oh no... thank YOU for posting this. that's what I thought you may have done with the scoop, just wasn't sure. and a great job on the headers too. true modeling at its finest.... if it's not in the box... make it. do you have a WIP thread on this?

No I didn't but since this spot is for drag models completed and wip I will post some.
JTalmage Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Very cool! great work on converting it to a tubbed drag car
