BiG MUSTANG GRILL!!!

I am using an 1/16th scale 1964 Mustang Grill, with "Floating" Horse Emblem for the Pegasus!

I had to reduce it's width a little bit.

I cut a piece of plastic to mount the New Hood to and glued it in place...

After a lot of planning & figuring I found the best position for the Grill and glued it in place!

I measured the size I need and cut it out of the BiG Hood.

I cut 2 small strips of plastic and glued them at both ends of the Grill to finish it off!

A LITTLE PRIMER...

I sprayed a little White Primer on the Front End Additions. Now it's easier to see how the Pegasus Design is coming along...

Ira, I very much admire your work and have for a long time. Your creativity is endless. I wonder, do you plan these builds or do you just fly by the seat of your pants and see where it goes ?

BACK DOOR MUSTANG!!!

The Pegasus will have a BiG Jet Engine on each side of the body, blocking the doors, so I'm going to put in a Rear Door in for Driver Access!

I drew 2 lines from the rear window back. Then I drew 2 more lines about 1/8th inch wider at the rear. I will cut on the outside lines...

I marked the underbody with the same shape as above except, its about 3/8th inches shorter...

I used a Zona Saw and cut out the rear deck.

Then I cut out the underbody section with a Zona Saw and X-Acto Knife.

FABRICATION...

I cut ot 2 pieces of sheet plastic to fill in the Cut-Out Areas. I glued them to the Body, but not the Underbody...yet. I cut out a Door Frame and fit it in place, no glue on this piece yet.
