Jeff Johnston Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Here is where I am on the AMT 67 Mustang. Build time is less for me these days because of a very busy time at work. However, I hope to have it done for the local show up here in October. I am planning Lime gold with black GT Rocker panel stripe.
my80malibu Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Oh very good start I like opening door's Gabriel
Jeff Johnston Posted July 28, 2008 Author Posted July 28, 2008 Paint....MCW Lime Gold. Next step is to mount the doors and put on the GT Rocker Panl stripe. Probably black... Then I will clear over the decel.
Clay Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Looks pppretty good, makes me want to break out my mustangs and put them together.
kelson Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Looks good so far, after you clear coat car ,do you usually use a polishing kit on it for a better shine or just leave it as is?
kevin Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Great color! & great work, where did you that GT ribbed tail? Paint....MCW Lime Gold. Next step is to mount the doors and put on the GT Rocker Panl stripe. Probably black... Then I will clear over the decel.
Jeff Johnston Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 the rib detail is part of a Replicas in Miniatures of Mayland Resin conversion kit. It also comes with non GT grill emblem and stock hubcaps. The side scoops are part of the kit as well.
MrObsessive Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Nice job on the door openings Jeff! That can a be a little tough to do because of the creases in the doors themselves..................the color looks great!
kevin Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 thanks jeff, thought he stopped making the gt conversion kit the rib detail is part of a Replicas in Miniatures of Mayland Resin conversion kit. It also comes with non GT grill emblem and stock hubcaps. The side scoops are part of the kit as well.
Jeff Johnston Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 thanks jeff, thought he stopped making the gt conversion kit I think he has too. I actually emailed him prior to NNL East 2007 asking him if he could bering me one. He cast one up for me, and brought it to the show. He did mention at the time that he no longer does it. But he still has the mold, and I'll bet he'd do one on request. He did for me, and he does not know me at all.
Jeff Johnston Posted August 2, 2008 Author Posted August 2, 2008 Looks good so far, after you clear coat car ,do you usually use a polishing kit on it for a better shine or just leave it as is? Hey Kelson. I will hit it with a couple coats of 2-part urethane clear. After Iit dreies for a couple weeks ,I'll definitely polish it (with polishing cloths), and finally with some fine cut polish and carnuba wax.( I sometimes get away with not having to polish. If its real warm, the urethane clear will tend to lay dowm smoother...But that's really a ratiry. Even if it looks good after the clear dries, it always looks better after a polishing.
Jeff Johnston Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 Some more progress...going slow. polishing in progress.
Robert81 Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Looks like you are making good progress on this Beautiful Mustang.
diymirage Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 i absolutely love that conversion kit must be one of the best bodies i've ever seen keeps it up man
Jeff Johnston Posted September 6, 2008 Author Posted September 6, 2008 Yet more progress This poc reminds me that I gotta get after those tail light lens backs with some flat black...
Raul_Perez Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Very nice looking build, Jeff!! All of the details look right on the money!! Thanks for sharing,
Jeff Johnston Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 Almost done.....just needs backup lights and door handles...
MrObsessive Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Nice details Jeff! The Burtex trunk mat looks great! Is that a decal?
71datsun1200 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 nice mustang.love the color. a while back i came across a pic on google of a shelby gt in the same color as yours except it had the white racing stripes.
Jeff Johnston Posted September 20, 2008 Author Posted September 20, 2008 Nice details Jeff! The Burtex trunk mat looks great! Is that a decal? Hey Bill. Actually the trunk mat is just a photo of plaid fabric that I made into a B$W photo via photoshop. I print it on plain white paper and cover it with clear packing take to give it that slight "shinyl vinyl" sheen Here is the pic I use if you want to use it.
GOTH KUSTOMS Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Real nice 67 you got there friend, the color looks great, I glue'd my trunk down, and I like the opening doors I might do that to the other 67 GT I got, thanx for the insperation...
