Drake69 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks to one of my club guys I have a big can of Duplicolor Wimbledon White I'm using for my next build. No pix just yet but the body is already sprayed and I've just finished doing up the chassis in red oxide and black. Someone else had some great pix of the undercarriage of an older Mustang, so I've been detailing everything I see under there. Pix soon!
Drake69 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Engine is done up like the 289ci as featured in another magazine. I added an0 alternator bracket so that it doesn't "float" like in other kits. Front springs also done in dark red oxide and rear axle is black with dark red areas and a chrome diff cover. Wheels are already properly painted and waiting to go on the chassis, but I don't like the chrome disc brake calipers in the front. Rear drums are marked as "silver" in the directions but I'll probably paint those red oxide as well.

The third member or "pumpkin" is the only seperate part. The housing and brake drums would be a semi-gloss black and the pumpkin would have been red oxide.
Drake69 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks! Well, today I wasn't as productive. Just working on the interior today, so I'll have more pix later.
Drake69 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 No pix yet but this is almost finished. This kit has serious fitment and warping issues, and I'm doing my best to straighten them out. I'm going to have to get the Revell 67 kit just to get the bad taste of this one out of my mouth!
TheCat Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Looking good... Can't wait to see the finished product.
