Not trying to burst any remaining bubble material, but the movie car was a '66.

As a '65-65 Shelby fan from way back, I'm looking forward to progress reports on this one.

Dave- Thanks for the correction i corrected the problem im just getting started i thought it was a 65 at first i had no clue that Revell made 66 Fastbacks.

Revell had 350H 1/24 scale.

Heres some progress its not much but its better than nothing. The frame has been painted with Rust-Oleum "Textured" Semi-Gloss Black and also i added a set of Shelby "Hertz" Magnum 500 wheels.

Heres some progress so far i sprayed the body in black primer to find any imperfections which i found a few. I changed out the wheels with a set from a Revell/Monogram 70 Mustang "Magnum 500 wheels. More to come.
