1967 shelby gt-500 custom

[michelle]

i printed this kit it was a free one and was not all that great  and does not fit together well
the molded in tail lights did not print  so had to use a set from my parts boxes did not print
and the fog light's lenses in the lower air dam did not fully print so had to fill in with putty 
the kit's rims and tires were not scaled to fit together and due to them all being in the same file ment i could not properly scale them to fit together 
there was no glass patterns 
and the interior was not very good or accurate and the bottom edge of the steering wheel failed to fully print 
i chose to print a set of standard hot wheels 5 point star rims which i scaled up to fit 
and i also chose to use a set of amt hot wheels peel and stick decals on it 
i painted the body a base coat of rust oleum 2x satin sweet mango then a light coat of rust oleum color shift iridescent shimmer then a top coat of rust oleum color shift pink champagne 
i brush painted the interior apple barrel gloss dark grey acrylic paint 
i painted the chassis and wheels rust oleum 2x flat black primer 
i brush painted the tail light panel apple barrel matte jet black 
i used a silver sharpie to do the rims and headlights and fog lights 
after putting hot wheels  decals and wheels on it i found a appropriate song to play in the background of the video which happens to the theme song to the original hot wheels cartoon series

You made a silk purse out of a sow's ear Michelle. I really like how you blend colors and finishes.
