'70 Boss Mustang "Yard-Sale" Revival

[Rascal]

So my brother scooped a number of kits from a craigslist Ad. He ended up keeping most of the complete kits with instructions, but was kind enough to part with some of the incomplete kits tp add to my junkyard collection. This kit is now complete, waiting til tomorrow to take some good finished flicks in the daylight but here's a number of progress shots I wanted to share in the meantime. I had a mostly complete '70 Boss Mustang kit, a semi-complete '71 kit and out of all of the parts I was able to build one complete Boss Mustang.

 

Couple shots of the very beginning, even from the start it was a mutant build

 Did some more practice scribing panel lines

Panel lines using "Marcos Cruz" method, if you dont know it check it out!

Not enough parts for a complete engine so I ended up dropping this '68 Dodge Hemi instead..!

Metallic Black Coat

Little Tangerine action and a fully custom interior progress shot (First time!)

Testors Super Gloss Clear Coat was a success (Another First)

Window Trim and Front End Work

Fully Custom interior with some scratch built NoS Tanks

Final Assembly/Pre Decals

 

 

And the engine all wired up and ready to go.

 

Will post the Under Glass flicks tomorrow, so stay tuned! The decals and the final results really bring life to this Yard-Sale restoration.

 

Thanks for lookin!

You had me...'till the Dodge drop in...

Very nice paint, I really dig the contrast of the orange engine bay. Very funky interior too, sneaky dressing the NOS up as fire extinguishers, nice.

@Rider - I'll have to snag a flick of the undercarriage, I also did the frame in the same orange as the engine bay (as well as a number of details). The contrast really makes the colors pop! Interior was a lot of fun, wanted to do a retro feel with a full fabric interior. Even went as far as adding a shag roof

The rain here refuses to cooperate so unfortunately I don't think I'll get any outdoor flicks in full light. I might end up just making a faux photo booth in my apt later for the shoot.

 

@Southern Fried - No love for the Hemi eh? It was that or a 440 Magnum (both pulled out of an old Dart build). Don't have too many motors kicking around... and I only had half an engine block between both kits  Better then no engine at all!

 

@Dan  Thanks!

Very interesting build. Very creative interior. The plug wires seem somewhat out of scale. Beautiful paint job.

Black flake paint with orange engine bay--what an interesting combination! And, I have to admit, not unattractive at all!   I might have to try something of this nature sometime on some suitable project. Thanks for sharing this!
