2005-2010 Mustang

Some real nice things still going on in this thread!

This has been a long time coming but.. my first picture update.

Been a pretty long labor of time and sanding

This has been my first 'real' modified body. Been on and off working on it and trying new things.

I'm sure you guys can tell but this is the GT500KR kit.

The rear windows have been filled, will be covered by scoops I stole from a 67 GT350 I think.

The wide body is cut and hacked and filled.. donated from an S10 Xtreme kit.

Like I said, trying new things and letting it come together.

No real good ideas on colors yet.. thinking a baby blue with some flat side stripes of some kind.. still up in the air.

Enjoy!

Looking good, I like the 500KR kit, I think the wide body will good.

Well started painting the flag colors and he just went down hill from there, so stripping the body again, I think I am just going to the normal markings on it.

Did the yellow part , no problems, nice clean lines, it was the blue, it bleed, and I didnt mask everything as good as I thought I did, so blue ended up getting on other parts of the body. Been having one of those few weeks, nothing is going right with models. I am trying to get the body strip, all the white,yellow and blue is gone, but still need to strip more of the primer, its a mess, I really messed this one up.

[martinfan5]

The body is out of the fresh purple pond, and now back in white primer, up next is to get the white coat down

[Scuderia]

Sorry to hear about your paint troubles, i'm suffering with some on my 88GT... PM me your addy I have those ford police wheels still if ya want em for another

[martinfan5]

It happens, just cant let get to me, I hate masking , it always goes wrong

[Agent G]

I actually accomplished quite a bit on Old Crow. Body's polished, and a bunch has been assembled. I'll have pics tomorrow, I'm just to frikkin' tired right now. I spent all morning babysitting the Gaming Control Board at their monthly meeting. It's like watching paint dry.

[martinfan5]

Just got done getting white back on the mustang , pic soon

[Agent G]

Sorry it took so long. Lots of stuff happening here.

Old Crow is up on her wheels now.

Interior looks like it belongs.

Shiny.

I'll give it a final polish, then the decals will go on. After a few bits and bobs she'll be done.

Looking killer there G, cant wait to see it finished

I will post an update soon, just need to take a pic

Here is the pic

I took a few peoples advice and got me some Tamyia masking tape, now that I know Hobby Lobby sells it, I will be using it more from now on, so up next is getting the blue down, then the red. But it was the blue that messed things up the first time, so here we go again

Take a deep breath, mask, mask, and mask some more. Burnish it all down and remember one word.

OVERSPRAY

It'll look killer when done Jonathan.

Finally I found Supercharger for the CobraJet Mustang, it's resin part by Competition Resins. I painted it flat black, as in reference pictures. Also painted the intake manifold and transmission. Gear Box is painted with Humbroll Metallic 56. Now I can continue building the engine, and hopefully I can post more updates very soon.

Sorry about those poor quality pictures.

[martinfan5]

Niko, looking good so far.

Got the blue on, and it was a success, I have a few small spots that need clean up, but other then that, I can worry about getting the red stripes on next .

As usual some great work going on here. Old Crow is fantastic. It has me thinking of making the original 70's version.

[Agent G]

Jonathan that will look spectacular when finished. Keep at it.

Thanks Dirk, I originally wanted to use a AMT '73 to replicate the 1:1 car but found the Bullitt on sale. can't beat a deal.

Driver's side finished. These decals are still wet in the pic. I am slowly getting the star and bar to settle into the curve of the body panel.

Photoyucket is acting like $&!% so these will be all for this evening.

[martinfan5]

Very nice, looking good

[mrmike]

Even though I don't have a build currently on here, I do stop in and look around and I like what I am seeing. The "Old Crow" looks fantastic! Jon, your Mustang is looking good as well as Niko's build.

[martinfan5]

Hey Mike, nice to see you drop back in and say hi.

I have nothing to update ATTM

[Agent G]

Thanks Mike!

I'm sticking a fork in this one. She's done!

G

[martinfan5]

That looks awesome, you did a great job on it.

[martinfan5]

Getting the body masked up so I can do the red stripes

[Agent G]

Waiting patiently, holding breath..........................................
