looks pretty good. are you going to paint the wheels? a nice dark color and they will suit the car nicely

The stance suits it well. Did the brakes come w/ the kit or w/ the wheels. Also I agree the wheels need paint; aluminum or possibly a graphite grey??

Me likes the color! And yeah, the wheels look somewhat unfinished as is--it may be the picture. If you want to leave them, then a light wash of the wheel centres (and brake discs) would look good. Btw, the car's got a great stance.

Thanks everyone.

Yeah the wheels are kinda washed out in the picture. They are a light grey finish but I think they look to clean. How would I do a light wash?

BTW: the brake calipers, rotors and wheels come as a set. XSTuning.com (http://www.xstuning.com/)

Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for the comments!

Okiemodelbuilder: Do you have bigger pictures of your cars in your sig? I checked in your gallery but there isn't anything in there. I like the look of your Hertz Mustang. Thanks

A 67 fastback, 66 2+2, 69 CJ and my 66 350H that I know of. 3 of which have retrotech engine swaps!

This AMT 67 is one of their best fitting kits in my opinion. Gunmetal really suits it man, nice choice.

Great work!! To properly polish a clearcoat, I use a polishing kit, Tamiya compound, then some model wax.:)

Not 100% on the wheel choice...but i have seen worse on others!!
Still a good looking build though...well done

Thanks guys!

Sorry no pictures of the motor or chassis (it was getting to dark outside). I tried using the Tamiya compound but it didn't really make a difference. I also tried it on the same paint on a different car with no clear and I saw a huge difference. So next time no clearcoat for me. :nono: I have now told myself that I have to complete a model before I start a new one. Maybe that will help me complete more models.

Can anyone tell me how to change the thread title to "completed" I tried editing the post but it didn't change it.

Thanks again guys.
