Duddly01 Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 I started with an AMT 1967 Mustang GT Fastback kit and converted it to a convertible, added a big block 390, C6 automatic transmission from VCG resins and made it a GTA convertible. The paint in MCW finishes Dark Moss Green. The air cleaner is removable to reveal the correct Holley carburetor from MCV products. I add my normal complement of LED lighting and made the steering posable. in case you missed the WIP thread you can view it here: this was the actual car I was using for inspiration: 14 1

I went through a lot a top studio rivets adding details to this build, even the lug nuts and valve stems. Nice to see they are noticed.
kelson Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 Impressive from start to finish! 👌it would be great if someone offered a convertible transkit. 1

I did kind of make my own, I cast the master I created for the trunk lid, top boot and back seat in case I decide to make another one. I will likely use to make a coupe at some point. The top boot is from an old 1966 mustang annual kit and the back seat a cut up and modified from an old annual 1965 kit. 4 minutes ago, SpikeSchumacher said: Wow, Donald.

Steamboat Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Incredible! It looks like you could jump in and burn some rubber! 1

Duddly01 Posted December 24, 2024 Author Posted December 24, 2024 Just now, Jim B said: Great looking Mustang. Very well done. How did you do the blue on the windshield? Thank You! I mix blue and green Tamiya clear to get the right color and mask and airbrush for the sun strip. 1

Thanks. I appreciate it. Don't have an airbrush, so that's out the window (so to speak). The sun strip is a detail often missed on older cars. 1
TarheelRick Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Very beautiful, well-detailed build even has the keys laying on the passenger seat. Hard to believe a build this beautiful could come from that mediocre kit. You are a true craftsman builder. 1
