Chuck Most Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 A while back you might have seen Fat Mike's '97 P71 "courtesy car". And you might have been made aware of the source of the wheels and tires it wears. Here's the car that (temporarily anyway) loaned the rollers. Mike Slaughter bought the Grabber Orange 2014 GT from G.R. Wilson Ford/Lincoln in March of 2022. It was a one owner car and had 112,000 miles. Mike hasn't done much with it other than put on a set of Foose wheels and new tires in the summer of 2024. When he bought it, the hood vents, mirror nacelles and door frames had been painted to match the car, and it appeared to be lowered a couple inches. All Mike plans to do is drive the wheels off of it whenever the weather is nice, and keep it looking halfway presentable. It's occasionally dusty, and there might be the odd crumpled Combos pouch or empty Schweppes bottle in the rear foot well sometimes, but it definitely sees more care than Mike's other driver. But that's a story for some other time. The model is the Revell kit. After stealing the engine and a few other parts for other projects, I built it as a curbside. Wheels, tires and brakes came from the Foose '56 F100. The paint is from an ancient Model Master rattle can, Grabber Orange, obviously. 4
XYHARRY Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 Nice Mustang, the colour and wheels look great. Well done Chuck. Cheers, David. ??
ncbuckeye67 Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 Very nice build, and a great color choice!
espo Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 Great looking paint finish and a fitting color with the monotone look. Like the wheel and tire combination.
Koellefornia Kid Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 Looks sharp with those wheels! color is nice, too!
mrm Posted September 17, 2024 Posted September 17, 2024 Awesome orange! And the Foose wheels and tires suit the model very nice. The pictures are really cool and because of the colors, both cars just pop out.
kymdlr Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 the wheels look good on that mustang. Where did the lightbar on the Vic come from?
