baycolony Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Presented is the 1/25 scale AMT 1967 Shelby Mustang GT-350 finished in "Gravity Colors" Ford Wimbeldon White with decals from "Kieth Marks." The additions include a parts box alternator, scratchbuilt power steering pump, pulley, cellenoid, and antenna, added battery caps, athletic tape for air cleaner element, "Fireball Modelworks" tires, and overhead seatbelts. The engine was wired and plumbed. Adhesive foil and molotow pen was used for the chrome trim throughout.
vamach1 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Super nice job. If I was a Mustang Club of America or SAAC concours judge I might take off for the missing paint marks on the leaf springs. ? In all seriousness this is a fantastic replica stock build.
Peter Lombardo Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Beautiful, excellent build of the highest quality. Great job!
Rodent Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Is the "SFMxxxx" VIN decal included in the kit or was it with the Marks set? It's a really nice touch!

Adds a lot to the already amazing build. Non-Mustang folks are saying, "What?" LOL. Also really liking the "dipped" front lower control arms and the aluminum bellhousing with the cast iron transmission case. Edited March 9, 2021 by Rodent
baycolony Posted March 9, 2021 Author Posted March 9, 2021 Wow, thanks for all the nice comments! Yes, the vin plate decal is from the Kieth Marks set. Also, the windshield washer bag was adorned with a colored pencil and label made from a picture of the actual bag, otherwise it would be just a black plastic blob.
Kromolly Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Phenomenal! Absolutely stunning build. Outstanding paint and detail. Guys like you keep raising the &%#%!! bar! ?
Painted Black Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 That is a great build of that kit.. first I've seen that someone put the psi pump in, and in the correct blue! well done.
baycolony Posted March 9, 2021 Author Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks, and it is close to the correct blue on the ps pump but not quite. It should be a bit bluer and metallic. I used a Pontiac engine color. It is the closest thing I had at the time. I also forgot to mention that I sanded off the molded hood pin wire and replaced it with fine metal wire which I glued to the underside of the hood. Not functional, but looks the part with the hood closed.
RestoModGuy Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Stunning, nicest GT-350 build I've seen. On target for all the wonderful detailing, sure looks like a show-winner
