2010 Mustang GT500 Convertible (full detail)

[mademan]

Just started on this last night. Using the Revell snap 2010 Mustang GT convertible kit, and a 2010 Mustang GT500 kit. Ive seen a couple guys cut the hood out and swap the chassis and engine into the convertible kit, but I havent seen anyone actually change the bumpers etc. Figured it would be a good project to go alongside my 2011 Camaro SS convertible

I started by hacking off the front and rear bumpers and front support, and replacing them with the GT500 ones. I still need to cut out the wiper cowl and replace it, and the rad support with the full detail ones.

This project will be slow going , as I work away from town for a week, and am home for a week. I just wanted to post up that Im alive and still building, lol. Any comments and critisisms are welcome.

Looks good,and an interesting conversion. You know though that the very next day after you finish this,Revell will announce a full detail kit

I am confused. the work is absolutely first class but it would be easier to follow if you explained where the red body convertible body came from?

i know the gold body comes from the snap kit.

Sorry,

joe.

is there a thread for the 4X4 in the background?

Jaydar, there is a thread for the camaro convertible . It started out as a 2011 Amt convertible promo , I did the same type of treatment on the front end to make it full detail. Check the topic "2010 camaro SS full detail convertible"

Well now...I am doing a similar job on a '10 Mustang GT convertible, just not making it into a Shelby. You are off to a great start and keep up the good work!

[jaydar]

Mike,

Could you show a side shot of the gold body so i can see where you made your cuts at the front and rear. I would really love to try this.

thanks,

joe.

Sorry it has taken so long to get updates. I have a really hard time working on models when I am gone up north to work for a week at a time, then rushing to get other things done on my week home.

I got the engine bay all cut and put in, as well as the wiper cowl. please excuse the iphone quality pictures.
