'70 Boss Mustang "Yard-Sale" Revival

[Rascal]

The weather finally cooperated so I could get some finished flicks of this revival build. If you didnt see my on the work-bench flicks then the first two is where the kit started from. 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. T 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. Only half of an engine block and not enough parts to build a complete engine so I dropped my extra '68 Hemi in there instead. I am aware that the plug wires are a little out of scale, working with what I have on hand.

 

Before flicks of the build.

 

With the exception of the pine stripes on the hood, all of the other pine stripes were hand cut from recycled Gold Fat Stripe decals

Scratch built NoS tanks in the back

Super Contrast color scheme on this build, top to bottom

Full fabric interior, custom metal trim (came out a little shoddy) also hard to see but there is a white shag roof

 

As mentioned before plug wires are a little out of scale, but still some of my best work none-the-less. Went the extra step and wired up a battery and scratch built some hoses.

 

Thanks for looking!

What a beast! It definitely looks like it means business. A good easy source of wires that would be closer to scale is an old phone charger cord. Slice one open and use the wires inside. If I can offer any advice it's to spray everything you can. Even the cheapest WalMart spray cans will offer a better finish for silver, black and interior colors than bottled brush paint.

Thanks for the wire tip, I definitely have a couple old chargers kickin around. Also rattle cans are a cheap easy way to paint lots fast, definitely approve. I prefer to use Rusto when I can and enamel for hand painted detailing
