2005-2010 Mustang

[martinfan5]

Mike, looking good, I am going to try it your way on my next Mustang build, so I am going to hold off starting it, but I am thinking about using the same wheels Wayne did on his GSP Mustang, so I am sure that might change some things

[mrmike]

It sounds like a good build, Jonathan! I'll show you all how I go about setting the ride height on the next installment of McNally, Boston PI. BTW, for those who are insterested, I have a title for my story, Justice In Her Eyes.

This morning I did a mockup the chassis with the body, wheels, tires, brakes, and metal axles to see how it sits. In my eyes, it is sitting right where it should. Not too high or too low.

I painted the interior floor pan with flat black paint. I recently bought some embossing power to try as carpet and with the tutorial in the April 2012 issue of Scale Auto Magazine, I am going to give it a try.

The rest of the interior pieces where painted with satin black.

More to come...

Sits about right to my eye,too,my friend

[martinfan5]

I have to agree, nice ride height, looks good

[Agent G]

Lots and lots of masking.

[Agent G]

Paint!

[martinfan5]

Talk about a masking job, I bet that was a pain in the rear, but it paid off, looks very cool

[Dirkpitt289]

Very cool looking paint job. It reminds me of the P-51 Mustang old crow

[martinfan5]

So I am starting the 06 GT, I primed the body oh about four months ago, and the plan was to get it painted white today, but I have no paint, and did not feel like going out today.

[martinfan5]

And here what appears to be the engine painted, I use Krylon aluminum , but it always craze's the plastic, even with primer sealer

On a side note, for minute I wast thinking about fitting this one with a NASCAR ford motor, but decided no, I want to get another one the GT500 KR kits, and put it in that one.

[Olskoolrodder]

Ajgent G,NICELY done,I bet that was tedious!!!

Jonathan,can't wait to see what you finally do with this one (like I have ANY room to talk about "finally",LMBO! )

The Story

McNally is called down to the District Attorney's Office to discuss his report on Big Tommy T and the two youths who attempted to kill him and Reuben Sinkowski. Based upon evidence gathered by undercover police and McNally's own investigation, raids and arrests where made on Big Tommy's nightclub, offices, and a warehouse filled with stolen items and contraband. The raids were carried out the previous evening while McNally was at Caitlyn's condo, checking her door and window security. McNally surmises that Big Tommy and his lawyer will not be happy today.

McNally decides to go downstairs and check on Caitlyn to see how she is doing. He stops at her assistant's desk and asks if she is in and able to meet with him. Her assistant Maggie, looks at him confused and says he had just called her and wanted to meet her at her condo. "When did she leave," asks McNally? "About 10 minutes ago," Maggie replies. "I didn't call her!" He runs out to his car, starts it up and races out of the parking lot and towards Caitlyn's house.

The Build

Get yourself a stack of business cards and place them under the car. Place the tires and wheels in the fenders and check the ride height. If it is too low, add some cards. Too high, remove some cards.

This is where I wanted the back wheels.

I didn't forsee this. The front tire is resting on the inside of the inner fender. It is a touch too high, but its really not that bad. I can live with it.

The Story and the Build are nearly complete.

McNally will return...

[martinfan5]

Thats the nice thing about the older ones, its easier to remove the inner wheel well piece

[mrmike]

If i knew that was going to happen, I would have tried shaving some of the edges and allowed a little more wheel movement. Live and learn. I have the 2010 Shelby GT500 to build down the road so I'll make some notations and put them with the instructions. I think that will have a McNally story to go with it, too.

[martinfan5]

That was the only thing I did not like about building the 2010 ones, well the GT was a pain, I went through a few place's trying to ground down the inner wheel well, but the shelby I used after market wheels/tires so it wasnt a problem

The Story

McNally screeches to a halt in front of Caitlyn's condo, gets out of the Charger and hears a gunshot come from within the house. He runs to the front door pulling his Smith & Wesson from under his jacket and hears two more gunshots. He kicks in the door and hears two more gunshots coming from the kitchen and runs to the kitchen doorway and sees Jake Colemark lying against the lower cabinet door...dead. Caitlyn is standing across from him dry firing her snub nose .38, click...click...click. He walks over to her and calmly says, "Caitlyn, give me the gun." She looks at McNally, her face is bruised and bloodied, her clothes are ripped and torn from a violent stuggle with Jake, releases the gun into McNally's hand, hugs him and starts to cry. He leads her into the living room and calls Sergeant Adam Troy of the BPD Homicide Squad.

It has been about three weeks since the shooting when the DA's Office releases their findings on the Colemark shooting...no charges against Caitlyn Scotson, it was a justifiable homicide in self defense. Caitlyn can return to work after spending some time talking to a counseler about her ordeal. It is Saturday evening and Caitlyn is sitting on the window seat of her condo watching the street below when McNally pulls up and she watches him get out a paper bag and a large covered pot from the back of the car. She let's him in the front door and says, "What have you got here," looking inside the bag. "Some fresh baked bread and in here...some homemade chicken stew." "Is this something you do for all of your clients?" "No, just for my friends, and I consider you my friend." In the kitchen, McNally places the pot on the stove and turns the burner on low to reheat the stew. Caitlyn hugs him tightly and says, "Thank you for being you, my friend."

McNally will return...

Here's a teaser picture. My Mustang GT Convertible is posted in Under Glass.

[Agent G]

The convertible looks great!

Here's where Old Crow is as of today.

Gloss.

The beginnings of the interior.

[martinfan5]

The paint job came out great G, nice

Did a little more work, not a lot really, filled the spoiler holes, cut out openings on the lower part of the bumper for the push bar, drilled the hole on the a post for the spot light, and painted the interior. Using the push bar that comes with the welly tahoe diecast, and I think i found a cool way to do the radio and light/ siren swtich box , not sure yet.
