1983 Ford Mustang GLX Convertible

Recommended Posts

Here’s my latest, an ‘83 Mustang GLX convertible by Monogram. This is a fun little kit that goes together pretty well. My only issues were due to this particular kit’s rough shape, and the up-top and frame being slightly warped. Also the rubber tires were rock hard so I had to hog out the insides to get the wheels to fit. I built it mostly box stock with some metal transfer emblems added. The body is painted Tamiya TS39 Mica Red over TS30 Silver Leaf, and the interior is Tamiya XF55 Deck Tan, with one coat of Pledge gloss over the body, up-top and parade boot. It’s not perfect, but this is my best paint job thus far! So I’m very happy with this one.

Really nice build! 😃 That brings back lots of memories too, I never owned an '83-84 GLX ragtop but a friend did in the 90's and I rode around in it lots (I've owned a few 5.0's or GT's over the years, including ragtops, but the closest I came to that one is an '82 GT with t tops in the late 80's in high school though, LOL)
