TransAmMike Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 With the encouragement of Joe (aka Mustang1989) and his help with my build I'm posting my first WIP. Projuct is now stalled due to not being able to due finish coat of black paint due the dreaded southern high humidity . It's being built to replicate my actual 2002 WS6. Thanks Joe.
Dann Tier Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Humidity is a pain here too, but its looking like a brilliant build!!!! Mustang 1989 is a great guy!

TransAmMike Posted July 25, 2020 Author Posted July 25, 2020 Thanks again guys. Still waiting for more ideal weather conditions to paint it black.
TransAmMike Posted August 3, 2020 Author Posted August 3, 2020 YAY!!!!! Finally had favorable painting weather Sunday to topcoat the body and other body parts on the TA. Paint was really smooth but after curing out looks grainy. Smooth sanding and polishing to follow.
Plastic_Passion Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I'm an fbody guy through and through! Keep up the good work!
xXSpyderXx Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Looks nice! I had a pewter gray (I can't remember the actual name of the color) 2002 T/A...Really likin' this!

Love me f body's . My favorite cars by far. Have owned several. Just a tip brother and that is in my experience beware of those krylon paints especially the fusion paints. Have not had good luck spraying those myself. They seem to turn out with an uneven gloss to them . Thank you Ken
Ctmodeler Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Just examined the pics. Yep mine did the same BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH , pretty much ruining the model. It's those "paint and primer " ones doing it. Hopefully you can sand and polish it out
TransAmMike Posted September 14, 2020 Author Posted September 14, 2020 Posted pics on another thread, here's two of them.
