1968 Mustang California Special

The seatbelt photo-etch arrived today so I was able to finish up the interior and start final assembly. Still a lot to do but starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Really great job Donald.  Then LED's are a super nice touch. Continue on?

Thank you! My family tells me I am no longer allowed to do a build without lighting. ?

Only a little more work done today. I have added clear red, UV clear resin and black outline paint to the rear reflectors. I added the rear reflectors (they weren’t lights in 1968), taillight trim and hood latches from the 1968 Shelby photo-etch set. I added the bumpers, taillights and lock rivets. Still need to add wipers, grill, script emblems, rear view mirror, and much more.

I added the photo-etch grill and fog lights during lunch.

Almost finished with the build, just a few more things to take care of.

Thank You! I was looking back at what I started with, and I think it is coming out ok. Always some things I wish were better, but that is always the way it is.

Thank you! Still need to add the antenna and a few minor details and some cleanup but it is getting close, I think.
