Revell 71 Mustang Boss 351 silver

Here's my build.  I'm sure there will be a ton of these soon.  I used Duplicolor wheel paint to get close to the pewter.  Close enough for me and I didn't have to shell out more money for paint.  I had this on hand.  

I went with blue interior to be different.

What did you do to make the coolant reservoir appear to have green coolant in it?

Ford did not have factory coolant reservoirs for 71-73 Mustangs.  The part Randy painted is the windshield washer reservoir.  However, it could replicate a brand of bug removed washer fluid that’s green.  The more common color is blue but I have seen orange also.  On my build still in progress I just mixed light blue and white and went with the half full look.

I didn't realize there was no overflow in 71.  So that is wrong.  BUT, to make it look green, I used a green highlighter on the white plastic.

When did Ford stop using washer bags on the fenders?  My 65 Thunderbird has that and a coolant reservoir btw the manifold and top radiator hose.  No catch can though.
