2013 Mustang

[SterlingStang13]

Hey everyone! I'm a new member here, but have been lurking the forums for a little while gathering information on what products, and what kind of work would have to be done to make a replica model of my 1:1 2013 Mustang V6. Below is pics of my 1:1 car. It is a 2013 Mustang 3.7L V6 Premium with a charcoal black leather interior, and a 6 speed manual transmission. I've done a few appearance, and performance mods as well.

The only model kit I could find that would serve as a good base without much modification was the 2013 Boss 302. I would need to fill the hood vents, sand the chin spoiler down, reshape the rear valence, modify the chrome grille from the AMT 1967 Mustang Fastback, and either find or make 1/4 window louvers. I haven't found a solution for the engine as there aren't many V6 model kits to choose from, and I'm not holding out much luck that any of them look similar to my 3.7L, but I'm not too worried about that. I'm more concerned about how the exterior looks.

Here is a pic of what I've bought so far. I've also bought the AMT 1967 Mustang Fastback kit that I'll be using the chrome grille from, and Sterling Gray OEM matched paint and clear coat in an aerosol can from Automotivetouchup.com. I still need to get some other paints for the interior and such.

My first step was to fill the vents in the hood so out came the bondo, and a bit of a mess ensued!

Some 220 grit sandpaper on a block salvaged my horrible bondo application. See the chin spoiler on the front bumper that needs to be sanded down?

And with a little help from you guys on here the hood is now ventless, and primed! Also as you can see in this picture, I've also sanded down the chin spoiler to more closely match my 1:1.

And lastly I've assembled the pieces of the engine that will all be painted aluminum.

That's all I have for now. I'll post more when I get more time to work on this!

You should start a WIP in

"On the workbench"

If it hasn't been moved there already....

Welcome to the forum

Cheers

Sorry. I thought I posted this in the "On the Workbench" section. I can't seem to find this thread anywhere other than via my topics in my profile though.

EDIT: Nevermind, I finally found where I posted it. I guess I'll post it again in the right section since it hasn't been moved.
