E St. Kruiser50 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) This was really a lot of fun for me . The kit is really cool, and I built it pretty much out of the box. Been a while, but I think I needed to open the hatch, and I added a hinge. Didn't like the box-art colors, so I used my "ARTISTIC LICENSE" to "Brighten it up" a bit. It was white . I added photoetch zeus fasteners, turned alum. pullys, MCG distributor, wired the bulkhead between the driver and engine, and sprayed it with Dupont urethane colors, followed by HOK clear-coat. Right now I'm building the modified version of this, the black and gold JPS car of Finland, pretty much straight from the box too, except for...... Here's the one I'm workin' on now.

george 53 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 WoW Dave, does this mean you ACTUALLY read the instructions??? Most of your stuff is off the scale, so this does show you CAN build a "Normal" model! I can see though, ya jus hadta open up that Hatch, din'tcha! Looks GREAT, oh, an that's a REALLY nice paint job! ( regular wheels too, man you sure did suprise us!!!)
sigmaman Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Great workmate. Tell me,was the body and hatch straight? Most of these that I've seen were warped.
stevegt738 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Nice build Dave. A bit out of your comfort zone to follow the destructions is it not .
Abell82 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Great work!! I'd like to try this,build sometime. However, in the one that I bought, the body was shattered.
E St. Kruiser50 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 Nice build Dave. A bit out of your comfort zone to follow the destructions is it not . Yeah Steve, something I never learned to do so well. Every model car I ever built for the first 50 years was heavily modified. Even the very first one, a '32 ford high boy. Couldn't ever imagine at the time why you would do it any other way
1967mustang Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 hey dave, if ya want the folgers Mustang GTO you can go to emodelcars theres one on there for 13. (and no im not the seller) im curently building the fogers one myself. and this kit come with an opening hatch.
E St. Kruiser50 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 Great workmate. Tell me,was the body and hatch straight? Most of these that I've seen were warped. No. Both the bodies and all were really straight, and go together pretty well for an old kit.

( regular wheels too, man you sure did suprise us!!!) Yeah George., I did everything wrong on this one . Read the instructions, used the stock wheels/tires, and built it outta the box. Doin' the same on the next one too - COULD BE A NEW TREND..........NOT .
CEKPETHO BCE Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Oh wow that looks nice. Now I regret not buying one of those when I had the chance. Matter of fact I am ordering the same exact kit right now because of this LOL
123yokomo Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) awesome i remember the 711 version just as nice Edited July 3, 2011 by 123yokomo
CEKPETHO BCE Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 obviously a very clean build of the IMSA Mustang to bad that claim of opening up the hatch opened up one of the biggest cans of worms ever for 'ol treehugger Elaborate?
3men2s Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I like the yellow and the blue & red combo. Iooks like the sonoco colors
