jrherald420 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 This is my best build to date. Still have a lot to work on and improve in my building. Color is Model Master Citrus Yellow Metallic, a $2.22 can of clearance paint from Hobby Lobby that my wife found and bought. I did BMF on the hood and around all the windows, that's a first for me. Also added spark plug wires, PE wire looms, a coil, battery wires and PE terminals, fuel line going from pump to carb, PVC line from breather to intake and did BMF on the air cleaner lid. Also did PE keys in the ignition with a Ford key chain, PE seat belts, window cranks and embossing powder for the carpet. Had trouble getting the 2 pc hood decal to sit flat. This build started off as a white paint job but had a lot of junk in the paint and after sanding i just didn't have enough paint left to do a second good coat. Here's some crappy pictures. Ill take better ones tonight.

jrherald420 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 I am now burned out on black interiors for awhile. lol
jrherald420 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Thank you! I spent about 3 weeks on and off building it. About a week for the engine, and a week and a half on the body.
lazlow Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Supper sweet. Looks like you could get in and go go go.
tomsheehy Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Looks great, this is a great kit to super detail.
slusher Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Man, that looks great in that color. Awsume build...
jrherald420 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks guys! Will be buying this one again to build it as the 1970 Mach 1. Plan on doing fuel and brake lines and adding Drum brakes on the next one.
Sixties Sam Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Great looking Mustang! Good color choice, and very nice interior and engine detailing. Sam
jrherald420 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks everyone. Didn't have a chance to snap better pics last night, I was working on the next 3 builds.
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Beautifully clean. That engine bay looks real. Nice work.
jrherald420 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks. I hope my next builds are as nice and as fun as this one was.
Renegade Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Great color choice. Fantastic detail. Great all around build.
berr13 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 That's a really good looking model! I like the color, and the overall look of the car is perfect; good job on the decals, too. I like it a lot!
