It includes them for you. Nice job! Like the overspray! Thank you. I used regular spray cans to do it. I sprayed the chassis primer and tried to paint the over spray with the tamiya paint can but too much of it sprayed all over the chassis, so I took the primer and sprayed that really close to the center of the chassis in real fast strokes to try to achieve the effect the best I could. Thanks for helping me on how to post pics, it's actually easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Berk, what Mark just said, an he should know, caz he's bein BRUTALLY honest!( but I'm not really sure if he's as crazy as da ######'n!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for helping me on how to post pics, it's actually easy. I cut of the original muffler from the exhaust system and used the back half of an exhaust from a Boss 429 Mustang, and connected that to the original front half of the exhaust shraight from the resonators. I painted them red to make them look like cherry bomb mufflers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I like it!!! Clean & smooth. A comment here: We're an amazingly eclectic bunch of builders here, from the unknown, (& some prefer it that way), to yes, contest winners. Regardless, we don't worry about who enters contests, wins contests, etc. Now someone may post a pic of a contest winner of their's & that's fine too, but that's not what the forum is about. This forum is for getting together & sharing a common interest, model cars. You don't have to worry about your work being "contest worthy" or "good enough". Do you like model cars? Do you like to hang out with a bunch of people that also like model cars, (even if some of us, especially myself, are crazy!!! )? If so then you've found a home! We're not crazy; we're eccentric. Nice looking Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jello Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Looks great to me! You got nothing to worry about and as long as you enjoy building model cars, keep up the good work! You can't do wrong with a Mustang! Mee crazy?? Nahhhh, just slightly underdeveloped & a weee bit of insane, the rest of me will grow up soon or never!

Harry P. Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ditto to what Mark said. It'll never win a contest? So what! Not all of us can build "contest quality" models. But no matter what level your skills are currently at, this is the place to share your work. There are a lot of really talented builders here, but there are also a lot of "regular guys" too. We're all one big family. Skill level isn't important. What's important is that we all share a common interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk765 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 I like it ,But are the traction bars on backwards?. Gabriel. Well, those traction bars came off of a Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt, yes they are mounted backwards. But I think they look better that way because I can see them "jut" out from underneath the car, and it looks beefier to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
