Magic Photos Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Got a order to build a model of John Hale's 69 Mach 1 Mustang last night here is the start of the body. I started with a Comp Resin 73 Mustang and Flashpoints Mustang Pro Mod Body here is what I have so far. I think I will mold this body also. Mike Garland
John Pol Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Looking good Mike what i like to know is where you got that photo of the Rat Trap on your wall. John Pol
Mooneyzs Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Mike you are off to another great start ob this one. I look for to progress on this one.
Magic Photos Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 John I got the poster from the Hopes at Cordova when they ran here. Chris thanks this order sure did help.
Magic Photos Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks Dave this was a last minute body as I have orders for 2 cars that are running the nostalgia series. Mike
Casey Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Does the actual car use a half and half type body? I don't think I've seen that since the "Half Breed" F/C in the late '60s.
Magic Photos Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 No it doesn't just using these two bodies and body filler to create the right body for there cars. Will post more pictures as it comes together. Mike
Magic Photos Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 got the first coat of primer on the body, a few things to correct and a couple things to add. The body should be in mold rubber by midweek. Have 2 cars to build one for John Hale and his Nitro Boss and one for Will Martin. Thanks for looking Mike
Magic Photos Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 More done on the body today. Wheel wells left to do. And one of my chassis. Mike Garland Thanks for looking.
Mooneyzs Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Mike.. that body is sure shaping up and looking great. And that chassis is very nice too. Keep up the great work on this bud.
Magic Photos Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks guys will have more pictures soon. Mike
Pro Tech Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Mike, looking good man, keep it going. Charlie Pro Tech
eviltwincustoms Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Big difference in the way it looks now nice job. In looking at your build and the "Blue Max" mustang they look very close. Is that a Mach 1 air vent at the top of the quarter on the drivers side? I ask, because I don't see it on the Passengers side, so wasn't sure if that is something you are leaving or not.
Magic Photos Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Yes it is a Mach 1 the vent is on both sides now, body is about ready for mold rubber in the next day or so. Mike
Magic Photos Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 The Mustang is in mold rubber and will be done Thursday will post pictures then. Mike
Magic Photos Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks Derrick hope it comes out of the mold right.????? LOL Mike
Magic Photos Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 The body is done and out of the mold. So happy. Mike
Mooneyzs Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Mike that body came out nice. Those chassis are looking great too. i am jealous they are in paint i cant eaot to get mine in primer lol
