I haven't posted anything on the Shelby in awhile, I actually haven't even touched the car in almost a month. I've been really busy and haven't been able to sit at the bench in a minute. But these past few days I've been able to work on it; here's what I've done so far. After wet sanding, filling, sanding, and priming a repeated amount of times, I finally got the car bodywork to perfection. For an old AMT kit the front bumper and bottom piece fit together really well. I painted the 428 engine with MCW Ford Engine Blue, the trans is gonna be a silver color.Finally I painted the undercarriage with Tamiya LP Dull Red to replicated the paprika red color that the 50s-60s fords had sprayed on the undercarriage, its a little too dark to be correct but it works so. ? Hopefully tomorrow or Thursday I can get the body in color. Thanks for looking!

I just got the body painted today, it turned out almost perfect! It was my first time using scale finishes base coat. Thanks for looking!
