Mustang Sleeper

[Mike 1017]

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.

1957 Ford hubcaps!! I love that!

I like it.

Please critique my Mustang. Be as brutal as you want.

Mike, please describe the engine. It looks ferocious.

[Mike 1017]

The engine is a 289 with aluminum heads the FI system came from Speed City Resin. My I idea was to put a race built Shelby engine into a base 2+2 Mustang. Ready to drag race or road race

That's cool and nicely done. Not totally sleepy, tho. The hood pins and side exhaust kinda give it away. The engine looks awesome, got any close-ups?

As a sleeper the paint is spot on.

Steel wheels or mismatched would really say "sleeper". I like the paint. I like the backdrop you have, what is it?

I got the backdrop from  ScaleProduction. I am happy with it.

Maybe remove the hub caps. Paint the front wheel black and the rears red? 

 

[Chuck Mols]

Just whatever makes you happy. I remember some of the fastest cars growing up were not the nicest looking.

What a sleeper, I dig the engine detailing.
