Eric Stone Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Those front wheels look like they're actually supposed to be the back sides of another wheel.
PLUTODNCR4 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Those front wheels look like they're actually supposed to be the back sides of another wheel. Dam your right. ... I just took a look at instructions I never had an inner wheel before
Modlbldr Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Walther- Looking good so far for your first. I like a lot about that kit. I have two and I try to get one when I find them. I am putting the engine from one into a 55 Ford Pickup that I am customizing. I am also using the seats, instrument panel and steering wheel. Keep the photos coming and we'll try to be gentle. LOL. Later-
whale392 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 The decals will be very fragile and will more than likely already be hairline cracked (mine were....fresh from the box). As for coloration, paint it anything but Fords Hokey 'Enviorn-car green Scheme' (the stock paint job on this car).

I THINK THE STOCK PAINT JOB IS TO FLASHY IT REMINDS ME OF LIKE A 80'S TRUCK PAINT SCHEME. I'LL KEEP UPDATING YOU HAVE PICS OF YOURS? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT
whale392 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I was given the kit in trade for some other kits I had and admit to parting it out for some of my other builds (It went to 3 different Fox body builds I had going). The engine is fairly nice, and the wheels/tires look good on a Capri!
PLUTODNCR4 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 OK IM GOING TO FINISH THIS KIT HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK SINCE I HAVE THE WEEK OFF FROM WORK MAN CANT BELIEVE IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO GET BACK TO THIS
Modlbldr Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Walther- Good to see that you're back to work on this. I can't wait to see what progress you'll make. Ain't it funny how quickly a year will pass? Later-
whale392 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Wow, I thought I was the only one who went eons between updates! Did you already paint this kit? If not, it lends itself well to Dark Reds or Blues.
PLUTODNCR4 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 OK I HAVE GAINED SOME GOOD PROGRESS ON THE CAR I WENT WITH DARK BLUE PAINT I'LL PLACE DETAILS WHEN I LOAD THE PICS ....WITCH LEADS ME TO ASK THIS QUESTIONS WHAT IS THE BEAST WAY TO UPLOAD PHOTOS ?
PLUTODNCR4 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Wow, I thought I was the only one who went eons between updates! Did you already paint this kit? If not, it lends itself well to Dark Reds or Blues.

PLUTODNCR4 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Here are some pic of the progress on the stallion . I finished the engine and wheels i was able to paint the body and add the ducks ill paint body again maybe paint the ducks black . i add the mufflers and finished the interior . im taking these with my cell phone sorry for the quality ......
GTMust Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Thanks for posting the pics. Now I can see what a great build this is. Nice clean work and I love the paint color. Tony.
whale392 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Are you leaving the scoops white or shooting them body color? The interior reminds me of the Kodachrome Cobras (2004).
maltsr Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 That looks great keep it up, you're almost there!
