I picked up a can of krylon hunter green, not what I wanted, but I did not want to spend an hour waiting in line at hobby lobby , I did not even think about doing the black base coat first . I have been trying to get away from using krylon unless its a last minute need some paint

[Kaleb]

That's the same paint I'm using. It probably won't come off with purple power.

It already came off, back down to the primer

[Kaleb]

Wow, you must have dunked it with fresh paint. I just went over mine with black and it done fine.

[Olskoolrodder]

Black basecoat is what I did too with that Duplicolor.

[Rick Schmidt]

Man got some great stuff goin on up in here. I still need to get back on mine. I looked at it last night but then left it sittin there. Workin on something as far from a Stang as it gets a Bug lol

[martinfan5]

Rick, dont hear that?, its the stang saying work on me

[Kaleb]

The bullit is coming around, got to wait for this layer of primer to dry. The 69 is coming along ok, just unsure what to do with it....Iver blacked out just about everything except the windows lol.

[martinfan5]

Dont forget to black out the head and taillights too ,

I am still striping the bullitt body , all the green came off, but I am going to try to get it back down the bare plastic and start over , this time using a black base like I should of done the first time

[Kaleb]

shoulda read my post...lol jk

Well, my '10 GT is started. It won't be a GT, however, I'm planning a phantom 2010 Bullitt edition. So with that in mind, the first order of business was cutting out the stock grille (with its driving lamp openings and pony emblem insert) and filling in the spoiler holes on the decklid.

Since there was no 1:1 2010 Bullitt, I'm going to take a few liberties here and there, but there is one thing you can count on... it will be Dark Highland Green, no exceptions!

[martinfan5]

Well you didnt say you included those too

A 2010 bullitt, I like that Idea

Edit- well since I was doing some spray painting with black, I decided to get the bullitt interior sprayed

Cool idea, Chuck. Had a similar idea myself.

[martinfan5]

I am going to start working on the bullitt now

[Chuck Most]

You likely won't be seeing much of my '10 Bullit, as for the most part it will be box stock. I'm going to mostly focus on the modifications I make to turn it into a phantom Bullitt and skip over the 'out of box' portions. Just hitting the highlights for this project.

[whale392]

So, are you going to go for the 1968-inspired Bullitt, the 2001-inspired Bullitt, or the 2008-inspired Bullitt theme for this one? Personally, I think it is just screaming for a small forward-facing hood scoop and brushed-aluminum fuel door (2001 Bullitt), along with a nice set of 20" Torques. Spoiler-less trunk, sitting low, and Highland Green. But, these are my personal opinions, and should be taken and tossed out the window!

[Chuck Most]

Leaning more toward the '01 and '08 styles here, with a bit of my own 'what-iffy' ideas thrown in. I am toying around with a blacked-out shaker hood scoop like the '01, and I'm thinking throwing in a few Shelby cues just for kicks. The grille insert (modified, of course) and wheels will likely come straight from an '08 kit.

[whale392]

The 'Shaker' hood scoop was on the 1969 Mach1 and the 2003-04 Mach1s. The 2001 Bullitt got the forward-facing hood scoop.

I am spilling the beans here a bit on my own 2010 build, but I have the kit hood modified and a 'Shaker' scoop re-sized to fit my current opening. I am going with a 2010 'What-if' of a Mach1, using styling ques from the 2003-04 Mach1 as a basis for the build.

[Chuck Most]

You are right- I just wanted to mix it up a bit and try to work in a little bit of the '01 style and some of the late '60's elements. The thought of a '10 Mach 1 never even occured to me, and a shaker would be a must there! I never really understood why Ford put the scoop on the '01 car, when the original did not have a scoop, but I'm still considering a scoop for my rendition. (Oh- and don't worry- I'm not going to steal your '10 Mach 1 idea... I'll wait to build mine until yours is done. )

[whale392]

Chuck, I wouldn't mind if you did take some of my ideas for the '10 Mach1..........you would more than likely do a better job of it anyway!

[Olskoolrodder]

Personally,I'm diggin BOTH of y'alls Ideas! Just wish I didn't lack the skill and bench\project-space to do my own (NOT false modesty there....)

[Olskoolrodder]

Small update:

Despite that the paint issues I'd been having with that sweet resin cowl hood from LSM being COMPLETELY my fault (no fault of the hood or LSM),being the ever-killer-kool guy that Alex is,he wouldn't hear of it,he insisted on molding up and sending out a fresh hood to me! Well,I got it in Monday,but things have been conspiring against my building time this week,so I'm just now getting the pacjage opened up. I'll be getting back on this ASAP

Thanks again,Alex,you're the best,Brother!

[Kaleb]

Ill, be a help and take the old one off your hands lol.

[Olskoolrodder]

Ahhh,success!!! Prepped and primed,and smooth as a baby's butt,teeheehee! I'm working on sub-assemblies and I'll try and get this all done and sprayed by late tonight,post up a mockup then.

More to come

Tell you what- I'll at least wait until you've started on it, picked a color, etc. until I start one. Then at least there will be two different interpretations of a '10 Mach 1.... when/if either of us ever starts/finishes ours.
