AMT '67 Mustang Fastback-Now in Under Glass Section

[AmericanMuscleFan]

Very good job on the front and rear panels as Craig just mentioned. ?

The Alclad chrome looks great and gives a more realistic finish than the kit chrome, it's just a bit of a shame it's so fragile and sensitive to handling.

Thanks good friend Francis. Yeah I hear what you're talking about with the sensitive to handling thing but this stuff just gives such a good result. I'm gonna have to go over and check your truck out man. Been a while.

Great looking front end and rear panel!

Thank you Craig. To me, the front and rear panels of this model make or break the whole build. All the efforts in the world can be put into what's in between these two panels but if either one of these are messed up it's like a black eye on the entire thing.

This'll be a sneak peek as well as the last update on this car that I'll post until I'm finished or something seriously goes wrong with this build. 

I've still got a couple of things to do like

1. Scrub the tire tread on tires and touch up the rim edges and then install permanently onto the vehicle. Also the rear wheel isn't "sucked" all the way down on the tire which makes the tire look like it's not properly seated on the wheel so I'll have to make that happen as well.
2. Install all door handles and outside rear view mirrors (mirrors still need the Alclad II treatment)
3. Add the metal coating to the windshield wiper arms
4. Apply the PE M U S T A N G lettering to the trunk lid (although I am contemplating a complete repaint and clearing of the trunk lid because it doesn't seem to be as dark a shade of blue as the rest of the car).
5. Install the exhaust tips that I just got applying the Alclad Chrome treatment to
6. Install radiator hoses and final details in the engine bay
7. Paint the bottom side of the hood

Anyhow....here's where we are right now. I couldn't resist throwing my "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" tag hanging from the mirror. I've had this tag on all my 1:1 scale rides for the last 32 years now. It was in Mustang #2 of mine, my blue #3 Mustang, my 89 LX Coupe and now in my Silverado truck.

Thank you Dennis , Carl and David! 

Stripped the chrome from the outside rear view mirrors this morning and cleaned all of those FRICKIN' mold lines and deformities up. I mean like WOW!!! Sink marks, mold lines AND ejector pin marks all on each mirror.

Thanks Adam. I'm very glad that a PE grill and the Cobra air cleaner were available for this kit.

Nicely done. The interior is outstanding. It really looks like vinyl.
