Sixties Sam Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 That's looking good - a nice blend of modern and classic 'Stangs! Sam
mrmike Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 Thanks guys! After looking at the posted pics, I went back to the bench and looked at the Mustang some more, thinking that something wasn't right. The stripes didn't look right against the rear fender flare. I took my hobby knife with a new sharp blade and scored the stripe at the flare. I used a piece of tape on the unwanted stripe and pulled it off the body. I am in the process of modifying the Pegasus wheels to fit under the fenders. More to come.....
MikeMc Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I hope those 23 will fit....I might of gone with both 19 and 23s....lets see!!
mrmike Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 I hope those 23 will fit....I might of gone with both 19 and 23s....lets see!! I think the 23's will just barely fit. It's gonna be tight! I took the airbox from my '06 Shelby GT-H and took some measurements and transposed them to a piece of sheet styrene and bent it to shape. I cut the kit airbox off from the tube and will use a resin K&N air filter from Scale Dreams. A mock up of the new air intake. More to come.....
Greg Cullinan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Mike that's a nice touch with the cold air intake.I think it's the first thing every Mustang owner does. I really dig those side louvers and your paint work on the undercarriage is sweet.And man do those stripes set off the paint.Thanks
mrmike Posted January 23, 2010 Author Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Thanks Greg! This is coming along really well! Last night, I made a copy of the strut tower brace that is in the Shelby GT-H kit. I used 1/16 round rod and some sheet styrene. I think it came out pretty good. I could have spent a little more time on the mounting plates though. More to come..... Edited January 23, 2010 by mrmike
mrmike Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 I had a few minutes tonight and she's got wheels! More to come.....
