Nice lights, the fronts and rears look soo realistic, nice paint job to!

looks good so far, make sure you finish it.http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/cwm27.gif I'll make sure I finish this one...

looks great!!!!

is it me or does the front bumper look crooked?

whoa i love pearl white i have it on my 91' 1:1 camaro cant wait to see this one done

nice job! cant wait to see it finished.

is it me or does the front bumper look crooked?No, The back bumper is were I dremeled it out but I sanded it down last night.

why did you dremel it? Looking for more of a custom look or have some kind of special exaust setup in store for us?

looks cool. what'd you use to dremel out the rear? the barrell or the disc? I find the disc works alot better, you can get straighter cuts. Like the paint, looks real good on a mustang. BTW, who makes this kit?

why did you dremel it? Looking for more of a custom look or have some kind of special exaust setup in store for us?Yes, 3" tips.. I'll get pics later..

BTW, who makes this kit? I cut it out with a exacto knife and sanded it down with the disc. But I resanded with paper and its all straight now. It's the 96' Cobra outta the Cobra Trio 3 pack...

Offtopic, Camaroboy will you be on ATV2 online again tonight?

Update's!

Not much done, Here's a crap pic, With black wash still on the car and wax in the lines, But I'll fix it up. Been busy playing camaroboy online on atv offroad fury 2 online, and SOCOM 2, very good game, highly recommended. Well enuff of that, I need to repaint the tail lights and those are the tip's im using. The license plate read's BOOST for a reason, That will be explained in a few days :evillol: :evillol: :evillol: Hope you like it!

looks pretty good. you planning to dumo a turbo, or supercharger, hoenstly, the best motor from the trio would be the one in the oldest car, the 427 I believe.

5.4 Liter Superchaged V8.... Lightning motor, IF the hood will clean the S/C..

Josh

P.I.M.P. :thumbsup:

WeaPoN [X] got any more pics of that silverado?

Yikes looks like it might be a sleeper.....

Yikes looks like it might be a sleeper.....

defenitely...nice

Ok, I haven't got to much done on this, Taking my time, But I did get around to choosing rims, Well sorta. I need to know what you guys think, Cause I can't decide...

http://www.elitrix.net/everythingauto/album_pic.php?pic_id=124
Stock R-34 Rims
http://www.elitrix.net/everythingauto/album_pic.php?pic_id=125
Nismo's

I'm kinda likin the stock r-34 on there. And it will be that low... After I get to the suspension , I have to get some pics of the engine so I can wire and detail it pretty good, I accidentaly broke the window frame while polishing. And do you think I should do panel line's?.. I cut out the back seat to replace it with a custom speaker box. It show through to the front facing speaker box in the trunk, with clear plastic over the seat opening and amps built into the bottom of the seat, Hopefully.

If anybody has and FORD decals, Little blue oval's. PM me and we can work out, either buy or trade, I'm in need of them bad.

Right now, I replaced the black on the tail light's with some BMF and it look's hella good.. Kinda altezza like. But it's a nice touch IMO. I'm also using lightning brake's. And either the stock seats with seatbelt hardware, Or a pair of Racing Seat's with harnesses, I've planed on a simple rollbar also. I also polished the tips on the exhaust to a chrome like shine :sunglasse :sunglasse .

Now I just have to get some motivation to continue this project. I've been really lazy latley and all the shit going on around here. It's hard to keep my mind just on one thing. I'll try my best to finish this one, Or I better finish atleast, The last car I was able to finish was a R-32 and that was about 5 months ago, Haven't been able to keep consitrated on one model for a period of time... It's that damn PS2! :lol: Anyway's , I'm sure you don't want to listen to me blabin all day long.... :rofl:


Josh

Here's a quick pic of the tailights i just took, The rear needs cleaned up more....

Nice Cobra Josh. Keep up the great work.

J. Barry

I'm sure I've got some Ford decals layin' around. I'll look when I get home from work & if I do I'll pm you.

As for the wheels, I'd go with the stock R-34's. Nismo wheels on a domestic just doesn't seem right to me... The stock R-34's look better anyway :thumbsup:

Josh

the stock R-34 wheels lok nice on it! Great work so far!

Huh, R34 wheels, on a ford. Hmm, well, I have them on my unfinshed 454SS, so, go for it!

the Nismos look really good, gives it the new Cobra R look, the stockers look kinda big and flash unless ur gonna paint em, but IMO i like teh Nismo's

Here's a quick update, Here's a pic of the stang that its gonna have when its complete. I got some done on the speaker box, I plan to make this a 2-3 month build.

Josh

http://www.elitrix.net/everythingauto/album_pic.php?pic_id=127

2-3 months...??!

2-3 months...??!Yeah, Long time eh?http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/uhoh.gif

Yeah, Long time eh?
Not quite.

Well, all I can say is this is one cool project! I completed the same kit several years ago (before AF) with practically everything painted. But since AF, I've lost my speed.. now I can barely finish anything, I'll change that for this year.

I'll just take my time and do this one right, If it takes 2-3 month's or more, Well so be it..

Josh

:cya: I like the project.. seriously I do...

but the rim thing has got me FLIPPED :wtf:

Skyline rims on a Pony car is a serious no-no IMO :nono:

...It's like god vacationing in hell. :angryfire


Sorry Sk8'r.. no offense meant at all!! you asked. :sadwavey:

imagine pulling up to the spot and seeing a mustang with NISMO goodies on it, or Skyline rims.. People would be like :screwy: then stone you :bricks1:

But seriously man, It's only a model......:)

it needs some torque thrusts!

it needs some torque thrusts!I agree, If i could only find a pair http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/uhoh.gif

Josh

Pegasus wheels sells something similar to them. Hey, if anyone has the Impala SS 2 n'1 lowrider kit, it comes with 18'' torque thrust look a likes, you could ask them for the part numbers of the rims, back plates and tires, write revell, give em a cock and bull story about the rim pieces and shit missing, and how you'd hate to stop buying 20 of their kits a year, give them the piece numbers, and the kit name and number, put in envelope slap a stamp on it, and 3 weeks later you'll have what you need, for FREE!! well the cost of typing, stamp and envelpoe. And don't tell me that's too much bs to go through, because you said 2-3 month build, you could have them before you finish!

Here's a pic of the one sie of the sub box... I just puttyed the other side. I have to sand that tomarrow.. Anyways, The subs from a Dub City impala and im gettin some amps from a friend.. Here's the pic.

http://www.elitrix.net/everythingauto/album_thumbnail.php?pic_id=130

Josh :sunglasse

Well, Here it is all flocked.... I should have painted it pearl white to make it looks fiberglass but I didnt.. The sub need a little touch up... tell me what you think.

Josh

http://www.elitrix.net/everythingauto/album_pic.php?pic_id=131

Looks great from what I can tell!! :)

i love the subs!!!! thats awsome dude

looks like some 30'' subs! need some serious power to push them. like 6000watts a piece. nice tho.

Here's a bit of progress. The amp I got from a friend. I half wired it now. It kinda looks like crap, I'm gonna go get another pin vise tomarrow so I can redo it. And then there's a pic of the 8" in the door panel..

looks good to me. with those two huge 18''s in the back what do you need 8''s for? unless they were 6.5'' full-range's.

Josh

The 8" would help balance out the sound from front to back if it was used as a mid-woofer. I have 12"s in my trunk but added 5 1/4s in my front doors to give the idea of the music surrounding me (works great for trance and jazz!)

did the hood fit with the L motor in there?

If not, doing a cowl hood is very simple :)

Hey guy's, You probably all thought I gave up on this, Well think again. Here's a pic of the new rim's (Revell Harley F-150 Rim's, Painted Silver with black accent's). And I did the panel line's. First car I've ever done them on. I think they turned out pretty good. Well more updates to come!!.:naughty:


Josh

http://elitrix.net/everythingauto/album_pic.php?pic_id=143

nice work! those panel lines are perfect, not too much, not too little.

nice choice of rims!

Now it´s starting to look like a mustang! Looks cool with that colour and nice p-lines..

DAMN! Someone brought this thread back, Well there has'nt been much progress on this, I grafted a SS style scoop on the hood. And switched rim's again. I'll get pic's if anyone want's them.

Josh

ya pics...

As you wish.

dude...I like that hood, and them rims are soooo sweet

dude...I like that hood, and them rims are soooo sweetThank's. The rim's are off a Tamiya Castrol Mugen NSX. ITR tire's wraped around them, and XS Tuning Drilled brake's. I like the hood myself :iceslolan

Josh

Looks really kewl man, that hood is sickening :evillol:

Looks great. How did you do the hood - look absolutely stunnin'

Looks great. How did you do the hood - look absolutely stunnin' I took the stock hood, Cut a big hole in it And then got the hood from the Revell 19(78?) El-Camino SS, cut around the scoop, placed it on the mustang hood, and used superglue/baby powder mixture to secure it, and sanded it smooth. Messed up on the primer though, that's why it's half sanded.
