I haven't even SEEN this kit yet and you've already built one?!? NOT FAIR

Nice build though

Man, I can't stop looking at this 'stang!
I think the wheel choice on this car makes/breaks the look...kinda like a 350z...damn you did a super job
I have to get this kit!

Thanks! I love how these rims made it look as well (and I know what you mean about 350Z's)...the stock wheel/tire Revell put in this kit leaves a lot to be desired. I'll likely swap out the stock grille at some point, I really don't like the stock GT grille, the foglights look so big and I actually like the V6 grille w/o the lamps better. The Shelby GT500 is much better looking, since it mimicks the concept much better.

Dunno why Frank/blubaja thinks these wheels don't look good on it...but then again, we're getting design commentary from someone who drives a Baja?

I said it before and I say hit here. Damn fine work Bob.
I've looked at your build numerous times over the last few days.
I anxiously await my kit so I can get started.

Nice job.. Forgot about posting a reply to say it looked superb, as I was busy looking for one to buy as I want that kit..!! Looked at your build and thought - superb model.. and a great kit by the looks of it..

Nicely done... the wheels match perfectly. I really want this kit now... What scale is it? If it is from Revell, I would think it is a 1/25 scale right? The engine looks great too even without the plumbing and other detailing. Great job!

Thanks; it's 1/25 as usual from Revell USA.

I'm sorry dude. I really do love those rims. They seem too nice for the mustang tho. No, I don't think the mustang is bad either. I just like american style wheels on an american car. O well.

So hey Bob...How about some pics with the Mustang and GT next to each other?

[Whumbachumba]

Very very nice still. I picked up one today, and the 1/12 Camaro. =)

No problemo, quit worrying

I had the rims painted months ago (hated the bronze color) and in the box, tried 'em on the model and they looked better than anything else. I didn't look at them as Japanese-style rims on an American car. I almost used a set of Pegasus 23's, but they were just a tad "blingy" and I didn't want to use the ubiquitous Torque Thrusts on it.

As for pics w/my GT, I'll try to get to that later...I think you might like it if/when I build my other Mustang...I have Legend Lime paint and the desire to build an SCCA/Speed Challenge/Grand Am/Vintage Trans-Am style road racer in Legend Lime w/ black stripes and appropriate competition markings and numbers. Some other ACME members seem mildly interested in a similar project, and we're already planning a group build of some vintage IROC Porsches for next year where our show themes are "Porsches and Pony Cars". I don't normally build race cars, but every time I've built a vintage racer I have a blast and our group builds are fun and very motivating.
