1968 GT 500

[mangodart]

Hi guys, here is one of my latest build, an good old AMT GT500 kit, mostly box stock except the the side chrome molding, some more stuff under the hood, one of the main modification is that I seperate the grill from the bumper, dechromed it, and painted body color with just the surrounding chromed. Fog light has been drilled and got metal axle in. Hubcaps are from Revell. Color is an authentic Ford color spray by paint gun.

Really nice build of this "been-around-forever" kit!  The '68 Shelby GT500 is at the top of my all-time-favorite 1:1 car list, and in that great Blue color as well!  I've got one just like your build in-progress; this post will motivate me to pull it out and finish it up!  I'm curious if you know what particular Revell kit those great-looking wheel covers came from?

Beautiful looking Mustang. The color is perfect for this one.

I know Brad from HRM cast them when he did the convertible transkit.  I recall other mentioning they came in various kits since it was a generic wheel cover that Shelby put a center cap on.  I'd have to agree on the color choice too.

Thanks for the nice comments, the wheels cover came from the Revell 65 Chevelle kit

Nice Shelby. Perhaps one of my all time favorite cars.
