Cherry 2000

This movie from 1987 is a bit forgettable with it's story about robot wives that only have spare parts in the middle of a deserted forbidden zone, but the Mustang that Melanie Griffith's character drives is quite distinct. I had a AMT 65 mustang hardtop languishing in my junk box, so i decided to use it to make this car. At some point it's roof had been cut off and had been glued back on, so it's a bit of a junker. it was already red, so i didn't bother to repaint it. i just added the black 'burn' to the front half and the stripe across the top. i also scratchbuilt the front and rear 'bumpers' complete with winch. I also added the big tires (from the amt 73 mustang kit) which meant i needed to raise it up. rather than rebuild the chassis (which is all molded in one part) i simply added spacers to raise the body away from the chassis. i also sprayed some 'dust' across the rear. to do, i just need to finish up the weathering and photo it outside.

Very cool. It's one of my favorite movie cars, and Melonie was pretty darn sexy in it. I have also built a replica of this car. It's in my Photobucket at the link below if you want to have a look.

Wasn't all that great a movie Rick, but it did have Tim Tommerson as a head nutjob.Kinda funny if IRC.

I watched this movie like 4 days ago on netflix, and thought the car would make a great model. Awesome job!

Cool subject! I too recently saw this flick not too long ago on IFC or something and yeah, it sucked but still cool to watch. 80s sci-fi rocks!

Very very nice...

I saw this film when I was a teenager and just recently seen the film again in Netflix and I completely forgot about that Mustang. I also was thinking of creating a model of it.
