Anniversary Mustang Finished Photos

[mikelo]

This will be the last for a while. I have to go build something. The last photos I posted were in the workbench section, and a friend (Thanks Mike!) took a bunch of photos of some of my cars. I thought I would post these as they are better then the ones I took.

Mike,

Nice build!!

Which model did you use and where did the tires/wheels come from?

Regards,

[mikelo]

Thanks. This is/was the R/M 06 Mustang with the R/M Super Stallion motor and Aioshama (sp?) I got from Hobby Lobby (they are dark brown on the box- and inside. I painted them silver). Every panel but the roof top has been modified in some way. The only part from the Monogram 70 Mustang is the hood scoop.

I just noticed you can't see the driving lights in these photos. Here is a front pic where you can see them.

They are the Aoshima Volk Racing TE37s. Aoshima has included them in just about every tuner release they have done lately. They are also available separately. The hobby lobbies around me have them on clearance right now for just over 5 bucks. After seeing yours in silver I think I may pick up a bunch. I never thought about painting them.

The stang looks very nice and nasty!!!

That is one bad a** looking Mustang. Just says look at me. Very clean detail.

Mike,

Thanks for the extra pic and the information. I really like the overall look of what you did.

Keep up the good work and the posts!!

Great job! I think you fixed the current Mustang's styling flaws! (I seem to be the only person not head-over-heels in love with it...)

Thanks for the comments. I was first inspired by the old Parnelli Jones race car (since it seamed like everyone was doing the Sunoco Camaro conversion.), but while searching for info I saw Saleen's Parnelli edition. While I looked at it, the rear end had more cues from the 70 than from the earlier ones. Once i filled and reshaped the side windows, I think it looks a whole lot better.

Thanks again,

[mikelo]

Thanks again for the photos. That was the biggest turn out we have had in a while. I know I voted for yours!
