michelle Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 this is my take on foose's weird 71 mustang i decided to use tail lights from a amt 67 shelby instead of the first gen camaro tail lights foose chose to use on his i also used some of the silver stripe decals from the same 67 shelby kit and placed them better then the weird connected stripe layout foose did on his i used a lindberg 71 mustang kit since it had the right body shape for the back end the hood is from my parts box i cut it down as best as i could to fit the lindberg body the engine i pulled from another older build as i did not want to use the 67 shelby engine but something that probely would be found in a 71 so i used a 302 i used two different sized modern torque thrust style rims on it so it would have a better stance and they look better then whatever wheels foose chose to use i painted the body and the interior with krylon short cuts antique bronze i sprayed a light misting of rustoleum matte clear over the interior parts to take most of the gloss finish off and hand painted the flat black insets in the center console and seats and that shallow recessed area under the rear window and behind the back seats i am going to guess is the trunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLHCAHZ Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Looks great. The wheels and stance are perfect to my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Great color choice! The color and wheels bring it to the 21st century, while the overall shape is aggressive classic muscle. I really like how you treated the rear end. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
