Adrian2934 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Post by adrian2934 on 3 hours ago A New guy to this Forum, so thank you for the addition. Well The 2019 Mustang has arrived and man when they say 'Independent Caster: NOT POWERSLIDE' they really meant it! lol But seriously even though this body is challenging me in new ways and is going to be a long time on the bench before I even hit primer, I cannot complain at all because this guy has provided me and the modeling community with a body that Powerslide has yet to produce. I don't know if they even will or anyone else for that matter - so I am a very happy camper as I dig into creating Joey Loganos' 2019 Ford Mustang Pennzoil (all yellow) ride! I will try to post as many times as I can during the build, which is new for me and I'm not used to it so I will have to keep reminding myself to take pics as I go because I tend to 'head down and plug away' *Donor kit for this body is Revell 2018 Ford Fushion (Shown)* Read more: http://race-car-models.proboards.com/thread/1825/joeys-mustang-arrived?page=1#ixzz6AlR8nJXo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Top side looked really good......then the other side. That's a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Wow... what is up with the underside? Holy smokes. Good luck on this.. you are gonna need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If it was me, i would make it curbside and only gouge out enough of the underside to have it sit right. To me stock cars are all about the livery. Doesn't look bad from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gks1964 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Looks like old resin bodies from 30 years ago on the inside. The outside looks nice. Gerald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey56 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 THAT's not a small challenge! While I agree the outside looks great from what I can see, I also see inconsistencies in thickness on the inside. You definitely have your work cut out for you. I'm not knocking the person that did this, but a few minutes more would have knocked the casting out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Are the cars painted anymore or do they all get wrapped? Edited January 13, 2020 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Did they cast that body from a diecast body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gt fan Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Only sand the interior area and just where you need the frame to clear and make it a curbside. Get yourself a Dermmel and just take you time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, if it is the guy I think it is, he took the Fusion body from the Revell kit and modified it to make the Mustang. His work is on Randy Ayers site.

I once bought a resin impala body that I'm pretty sure was made from a diecast and if you compare it to the revell kit impala body its noticeably bigger. I had to use a 1/24 scale kit for the chassis for it. I did that build before the snap kit revells came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
