Quick GMC Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 This is the first model I ever completed, which makes it one of two. I have a bunch of half finished models. Lot's of small problems on this one, like rubbing through the paint on some high areas. Painted with Duplicolor enamel, then sanded to death and brought to a polish. I think I have a good 3 hours into sanding and polishing, if not more. I'm also better at taking pics now, so I apologize for the poor lighting.
drifterdon Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Very nice build Cameron. If this is your first, you are doing a great job. Can't wait to see the next one.
Quick GMC Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Thank you. It's not my first, just the first one I forced myself to complete since I started building about 6 years ago. I struggle a lot with painting bodies and that's what has been keeping me, but I am getting it figured out now, so hopefully I will be able to crank out the ones I have almost done.
hardhitter Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 very nice build. I have the same issue with painting body's.I love the motor and drive train painting then bang my head when i come to the body lol. Keep it up man.
Dominik Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Very nice built! one small missing part are the sidemarkers
crazyjim Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 SHINY :) RULES! It was worth all the sanding and polishing.
Quick GMC Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Very nice built! one small missing part are the sidemarkers and side mirror and hood. They'r in a bag somewhere, I'll get to them eventually.
Monty Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 And the battery. Nice job on the paint. IIRC, Ford had to ship these cars off to Kar Kraft, a subcontractor, to have the shock towers modified to accommodate the width of the Boss 429. Because of space considerations, the batteries were moved to the cars' trunks.

guybrush Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 hi cameron this boss is really a boss good work... regards maik
Quick GMC Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Thank you everyone. I will definitely be building a few more of these in the future. I gotta have at least one black and one Grabber Blue.
o-man Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I wish my paint jobs looked like yours. Love some 69-70 Mustangs. Saw two of the Grabber Blue Boss 429's go at auction on Velocity and Speed channels. One went for $195k and the other for $225k.
slusher Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Sharp mustang. The interior and paint are excellent. very nice work...
Quick GMC Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Duplicolor Engine Enamel, i forget the name of the red. I'll check when I get home.
W-Machine Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 That really is a sweet 'n' clean build. Lookin' good!
