Scuderia Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 This one is a little bit different. Instead of the ugly SVO nose I'm going with a nose-swap from the '93 Cobra. Wheel treatment will be 1991 "Pony" wheels. The hood is a custom piece from the '90's convertible kit, with hood louvers cut from the 1990 Grand Prix Turbo hood and glued into holes I carved in the 'Stang hood. The engine is the supercharged 4.6L from the Mustang Mach III kit. The Paint is Apple Red with future for clear. I had a WIP going, and while the forum was out, I finished the car. In hinsight updating the hood, nose and tires the car lost most of what made it an SVO really.
Scuderia Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Thanks, I def. do want to build a real SVO kit sometime soon. i really can't call this SVO anymore lol. Its just a fox mutt
lanesteele240 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Fox muttt. That was funny. What ever it is looks better than the box art photo.
Scuderia Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 lol thanks, I guess that's job 1 regardless of what we're building.
crazyjim Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I like the SHINY :) . Shouldn't there be 2 hoses going to the heater?
Scuderia Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 I like the SHINY :) . Shouldn't there be 2 hoses going to the heater? Thanks and Possibly, Probably, but with the issues I had in selecting an engine and dressing it (this was motor plan D) I just kinda got it done.
cruz Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Very cool Lawrence, looks great in that color too.....
Dominik Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Hi Lawrence, is it the new released Kit? Looks good - but what happened with the frontbumper?
Scuderia Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 Hi Lawrence, is it the new released Kit? Looks good - but what happened with the frontbumper? My cement melted the plastic a bit and with the recessed detail I didn't want to lose any more definition. It was the Streetburner SVO I do believe. Released a few years back.
Dominik Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Thats bad Lawrence - i hate that kind of "glueaccidents" when finishing the model. I am a expert to drop mirrors or wipers...sure on the fresh paint. Silly question : what means SVO? i read it often in conjunction with this generation of Mustang
Danno Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 A little more sanding and finishing would have cleaned up that front end faux pas nicely. Unfortunately, it distracts from an otherwise nice build.

Silly question : what means SVO? i read it often in conjunction with this generation of Mustang Special Vehicle Operations Ford's version of a "skunk works" that was meant to bring racing technology to passenger cars.
