'06 Boss Mustang

I'm taking the normal 06 Mustang by Revell and giving it the styling of a Boss 429 Mustang.

I have filled the rear quarter windows, leveled off the front bumper, and designed and created the hood scoop. I still have to refine the sanding so the putty blends into the body.

I'm thinking of using my TE-37's instead of the "wonderful" Revell rims.

Very good idea, keep going, and make a wonderful muscle!!

cant wait to see finished product!

great start, you thinking of doing side or c-pillar scoops?

Thanks for the comments. I won't do the scoops because my skill isn't high enough for that level of detail. I also think it looks cleaner without them on the classic Boss'. Still need to either fabricate the spoiler on the front bumper or go buy the Revell Boss Mustang kit and steal it from that.

Side or C scoop?
I think this is not good for this!

C-pillar is the rear quarter windows. The side scoops would be below that on the body. I believe they are used to cool the rear brakes.

I know, what is the C-pillat, but the original Boss ain't have!

yeah, the 69's didn't come stock with c-pillar scoops, but isn't/wasn't uncommon to see them added on like the 69 mach 1 has. the 1970's were clear of all scoops aside from the hood scoop.

as it is, it will look very good like you have it so far. i personally think the car looks cleaner in the 70's version, but the 69s look more muscular.

this looks AWESOME. I love that hood scoop

Wow, that looks mean!

Thanks for the comments. This adventure with putty is going much better than the WRX I made.

I'm still trying to decide on color. I was thinking black, but gunmetal also would look good. Then there is light blue or dark red. Too many options.

Absolutely...

Red, or blue, i think... maybe Red!!!!

The first set of rims look MEAN on this build.

I went and picked up the Revell Boss Mustang kit tonight. So, I should have some updates on it. I cut open a hole in the hood so the scoop is funtional. Waiting for the putty to cure, then I can do some more, and hopefully final, sanding.

A quick look at what it will be with the front spoiler. At the current height, it is 1millimeter from the ground.

wow thats low. with the chin spoiler that low it will pick up road kill and fling it clear over the car....lol. Keep up the good work. i cant wait to see the rest of the mods you are going to do

Yea, I did a little math and it ends up that it would be less than 1 inch from the ground. Now that is low.

Wish I would have seen this earlier, I could have sent you Boss spoilers, I found a kit box from years ago in the old bedroom, had three Mustang kits from probably sometime around 1997. One was the Boss 302.

Wonderful. Revell left out a whole damn sprue in the Boss Mustang kit. It's the one with the mirror housings, air cleaner, and spoiler supports. I kindof need these to complete both models.

If anybody has a list of part numbers on this sprue, please let me know. I despratly need them.

I am a complete idiot. Revell did not leave out the sprue, but it was hidden on my desk. So, now I can complete both kits with ease.

The body is coming along, finished up sanding for now, I hope. I have to install the front and rear spoiler and then putty on the front spoiler. A bit more sanding. Then hopefully it will be ready for paint.

:lol2:


Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see the results.

Put on the spoiler for the other Boss Mustang kit and the front spoiler is put on too. The front spoiler should be sitting higher one the suspension is installed.

Painted it Bright Orange, but it looks like it will need a bath to clean the paint off. It's too dark and not uniform. Apparently gray primer is not a good base coat for bright orange. >_< We'll see how the second coat goes and decide from there.

Wow that's lookin good...
