While im figuring out a way to modify the body for some wider wheels....

002-13.jpg

Im starting on the interior, the rear seats are being modified first, here they are stock.

Now iv added putty to smooth it into a curve, it will need more putty probaly but il see once sanded and primered. Once iv got it how i want it i might resin cast it then add holes for a roll cage but we will see.

Mockup of the interior, bucket seat, hydraulic handbrake, i will change the steering wheel. Im also using the paddle shifters and pedals from the revell enzo kit. I think im going to use a different bucket seat.

OK so abit more bodywork has been done today.

I hate how on the real mustang those lower grills are not actually functional and i don't like that little peice of plastic infront of the radiator either.....

It needs abit of sanding done to get it smooth but i think you see what im getting at.

I will probaly be using 2 radiators from the ferarri enzo kit but i dont know where i can relocate them as theres not much room in the engine bay now and there will be less once iv started detailing the engine......any ideas?

I only need a few things to complete the bodywork, a resin front lip and a aftermarket wing (spoiler)then it can be primed, painted, and decaled.

I need to get some slighty narrower wheels because i don't really want to widen the arches, im not sure what wheels to get though.

I need to get a resin front lip too and a aftermarket rear spoiler by fujimi.

After that the body work is done and ready for paint.

For the engine, im having too much trouble with this v10 fitting so i want to get a gt500 engine and interior tub then moddify the engine as much as i can. The reason i would need a gt500 interior tub is because the mustang gt engine bay is smaller so the gt500 engine won't fit the standard gt interior.

Thanks man, the putty im using is milliput 2 part epoxy.

Heres a design iv made for this car from the 2005 mustang gt blueprint, iv added the front lip i want to get, a shelby gt500 spoiler and the obvious 2 colours and decals.

Iv started work on the dash, im filling in all the climate control, cd player ect because its not needed in a race car.

Once iv finished the dash i will paint it with a CF effect.

The body is finished with putty work for now, all the basic stuff is done, now i just need to get a resin front lip, if it looks good how it is once glued i will prime and paint it but i might have to add putty to that too.
