Topless 06' Mustang GT

Booyah, NNL East announced a special Revell Mustang GT class so i started this for the occasion. I wasnt thinking it was going to ever get done in time (4 weeks) but surprisingly things are falling into place quit well. I think i can take the prize if i get it done, or well, have a good chance. To my knowledge no one has done this yet, but im sure ill show up and everyone will have one LOL.

Looks promising to say the least!
What rims are those, fabolous expand?

Keep it up!

Lookin' good. Someone on another board has already built one, but it came out kinda sloppy and he doesn't go to shows so you're safe :icon16:

However there's another guy from MD, I believe it's Zoli Heinriczy (?) who I think is building one as well and his stuff is pretty damned nice. I have no idea if he'll be entering it or if it'll be done, but I'm pretty sure he'll be @ the show. He did a cool custom of the Mustang.

I like thos wheels!

Is Zoli's custom the maroon and silver one? I got to see it at Feb. MAMA meeting but never got to talk with him, didnt know he was working on a droptop. Damn, oh well, ill keep at it anyhow.

oh and yes, they are Expands Dukeman, dont know if ill use them i just think the kit wheels look like crap. LOL

The maroon w/silver one is Lyle's (mamaprez). IIRC Zoli's is white w/blue stripes. He doesn't post here, but on Scale Auto and HHMB.

there is too much `06 mustangs but it is 1st topless!

there is too much `06 mustangs
Impossible! :lol:

Looks good, freakmech! I like those wheels on this car!

That looks awsome, and those rims...HOT

Wow! Lookin awsome dude! Is this going to be a hard convertible, like the SL? That roof looks like it is about to lurch out like a jack-in-the-box. Hope to see ya soon. I need my kit parts!!!!:(

Update: Engine is nearing completion, Alclads Aluminum, Gloss Aluminum, and Chrome were used in addition to the red plenthum which will match the interior. More pics real soon, just waiting for things to dry.

Dayum! That's gonna be pure secks! Those wheels seem to have been made for it!:sunglasse

I'm watching this buildup very carefully; between yours, Russ's, Andy's and Bob's, I must build it!!:sunglasse

This is blubaja-I am at Chad's and have seen these parts in person. They look f'in killer!!
blubaja out;)

Take some pics of the body man! It was looking really sweet last nite! And I can't believe you wouldn't listen to me!! hehe..n00b;)

Has the chassis been black-washed or dry-brushed?

Great, chad.
I's topless but not sexy like the trio...:icon16::icon16::icon16:
the bastardizer of the trio is ... wel you'll guess..:naughty::naughty::smokin: (not me :evillol:)

Looks great Chad :bigthumb:
Good luck at the comp - I'm sure you'll do very well!

Love the thread title, too!! Great minds think alike! ;)

Gio you sneak, I would just like to point out that we've been calling ourselves the "Topless Trio" since at least February 05 :biggrin: :rofl:

Update: Body is painted and cleared, Gunmetal and TS-13. The Chassis and interior are about %60 done so it looks like ill have this done in time. I guess right now im just deciding if i want to put stripes on it or not?

Brillant! I'll like with white stripes and a thin black outline

I think that color looks great on there - is that TS gunmetal?
I've been trying to get my trigger finger on that color for ages now :banghhead:

I personally think that stripes - although done millions of times - will add to the car. Would be able to tell better if it were test fitted with interior and rims ;)

Whatever you decide, it's coming out great :bigthumb:

Good man.

Nice work Chad!
Personally I would not add stripes, but maybe try a Photoshop pic?

Nice Work!! The Paint is cool!!

Lookin good for sure, I love the color. Not sure about thwe racing stripes either, they will look good but I wonder how many people will be using them in the contest??? I say go for something more custom like ghost stripes or something like that.
