cobraman Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) After building 3 military dioramas ( can see in diorama section if interested ) I am ready to do another car. This will be pretty much box stock with the possible exception being a wheel/tire swap. Have not decided on a color yet. Edited April 22, 2014 by cobraman
Metalmad Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Was thinking of picking up this kit to put on my build list so I'll be watching this build and buy the way I think the wheel & tire combo will look good with this kit.
Len Woodruff Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I am converting this kit to a 68 Shelby. Edited April 16, 2014 by Len Woodruff
tubbs Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 looking forward to this build. not many people doing this era of mustangs. have a few in my stash. will be watching how it goes together. good choice of rims.
slusher Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Looking forward to it Ray. Nice wheel and tire choice...
cobraman Posted April 16, 2014 Author Posted April 16, 2014 Got a start on this wip. Painted the engine. Attached the front and rear panels and puttied them up to smooth them out. I'm thinking of Black Cherry with no stripes or the silver stripes.
superbike-shaun Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Ray, great start, if you would please tell me,is that primer on the engine block?thanks shaun.s
cobraman Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 No , it is a blue paint. Photo does not show true color plus I am NOT building a replica but rather a version of my own choice.
cobraman Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Got a little more done on this one. Blue paint on engine block is darker than the photo would suggest. Decided to go with a Maroon on the body. Still need to wet sand decal clear and polish.
superbike-shaun Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Ray, thanks for the info! i m lovin the red for sure, great work so far, shaun.s.
Jeremy Jon Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Looking great Ray, nicely done!! There are several of those Pegasus wheels I like, I'll have to find the most affordable place to buy them?! Edited April 20, 2014 by Jeremy Jon
Guest Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Looks good Ray. I think the lighting in your pics is too yellow. Edited April 20, 2014 by midnightprowler
cobraman Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 Couple mock up shots before laying down the stripes and shooting the clear.
cobraman Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks Ben. Should have narrowed the rear end more than I did as well as lowering the front more than I did. Oh well, going forward.
cobraman Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 Thank Carl buddy. I got time to apply the stripes. I chose the silver over the white. In retrospect since the interior is white I probably should have used the white stripes. Too late now. Body has also been cleared and now I wait till I can polish. Man, I hate to wait I'm like a little kid in that regard . Perhaps that is why many of you are working on more than one at a time.
slusher Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I like the silver Ray, That is what I would have picked..
cobraman Posted April 22, 2014 Author Posted April 22, 2014 Getting there. Still more to do but should be done in the next couple of days.
