om617 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Nice idea not a fan of ferraris but love mustangs. I Guess this is One Fast Pony Same,until i was lucky to try one. As an detailer i get to drive all sorts of cars and this includes the 360 Modena. This was an F1 edition with the flappy paddle gearbox. As much as i love an rumbling torque delivering v8,there are few or any car that made goosbumps all over. When that flat crank little v8 get close to 9000rpm it does somthing to you. It just pull and pull,and the gear changes are brutal. Its like you are smacked in the seat and all hell is on again up to 9000 again. I have to point out this was in a straight line and there was little or no traffic. I would not dare to challenge the handling of this mid engine beast on public road. Anyway,really cool build. I guess you get the best of both worlds.
DrKerry Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 Kool beans Tommy, I'd love to drive one....
DrKerry Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 Side skirts from a Lambo flipped and dropped into the hood. Gives it that Ferrariesk look about it........
DrKerry Posted December 25, 2013 Author Posted December 25, 2013 Thank you James, Got the wheels picked out today as well. Still deciding on which ones to go with..
slusher Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Very cool project Kerry, you have sparked my interest. Keep it going...
DrKerry Posted December 27, 2013 Author Posted December 27, 2013 Got a guide coat of primer shot on it today...... Chassis is sgot in black right now....
DrKerry Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Picked up a Tamiya Modena 360 today and am planning on using the chassis/interior components on the Mustang. That way I can detail it out more. Now I'm thinking of opening the doors and rear hatch area... Also someone had asked me if I had a hatch because theirs got messed up, contact me again and let's see if I have one for ya!!!
DrKerry Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 I decided to go all or nothing on this build. The rear trunk will be turned into a hatch and the doors are going to be opened as well.Being that I'm switching from the Revell chassis to the Tamiya unit I may as well show it off!!
DrKerry Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Opened up the doors and trunk area to make it more of a hatch back style. Also changed from the Revell chassis and am going with the Tamiya set up for better detailing. Also shaved the wiper arm detail off to go with the Modena pieces. I'm going to have to modify the interior to move it back without moving it back. I have to mate it to the door jambs and move the door panels back into the frame. Only thing is I can't move the interior back due to the engine is right behind the firewall behind the seats...
mademan Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Great work! I really like the side skirts! they flow well.
DrKerry Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks guys. I'm working on priming sanding right now to get it ready for paint.
