Tell me wut u think...the bumpers will all be molded on as well as the sideskirts cuz they fit so badly

nice kit!! i want one of those!

I jus cut out the top of the doors so that it looks more like a targa top...and I am now assemblin the chassis cuz it is done drying

cant wait to see it finished!

Would it look ok if i painted the interior in gloss colors and then just scuffed it up with a brillo pad so that it isn't shiny anymore?

please dont paint the interior in gloss :( :rolleyes:

if i rub it with a brillow it wont be glossy anymore...i jus tryed it on the floor of the model cuz i figure u wont see that very much and it looks fine...kinda looks better cuz it has a scratchy carpet look to it

When I didnt have any flat color paints I just painted the interiors in gloss then sprayed them with Testors Dull Coat

Here are some pix of the assembled engine chassis and interior
P.S. the fans aren't on the front of the engine yet and i kno this ;)

Dont mind the fit...I still have to mold some things and i also just threw it together

I want them up high like that tho...so i am leavin it like that;)

No i mean like width wise....the width of the tires exceed the fender width :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


-RaceMySS

oh...i dont kno how i could fix that

Make a widebody kit....not to crazy almost stock looking....that would be sweet.:D


-RaceMySS_454

Maybe i dont kno if i would want a mustang with a widebody kit...lol

Ya, i like it the way it is now. No wide body kit.

Questiion!:
How would you guys go about coloring in ALL those little slits in the tailites?

Are you talking about the body or the taillight peice?

If you are talking about the clearpeice I think all you would have to paint it is clear red. from Tamiya or from another company you know.

I see that mustang everyday on my way to school, the rear I mean.

The rear of the body is body color. the tailights of course are clear red.

Just ask if you don't understand anything I said.

real muscle car;)

which color u gona use

black?

Those rims make it look a little wierd! Just because those were ment for Euro and other stuff but hey its your creation.. anyway this stang is nice but anyway good luck and hope to see some progress!

The rims on this stang are like ice cream with pizza, both taste good, but really shouldnt be eaten together. ;)
My 0.02$

its starting to look a lot better

I mean the little slits on the tailites....it doesn't come with a clear piece

Here are some pix of it painted...when i put the clear on it fogged up...my dad sed it was too humid outside so i will probably wetsand it down next week wen i get back from florida cuz rite now it is FAR from shiny:D
