Ford Mustang Convertible WIP

janositamas · #1 10-11-2008, 06:14 AM

After completing the Jada kit I continue my 'Mustangs project' with a convertible. Just started, I cut the roof off and did little mods concerning the front bumper and grille. More to come as the slow progress goes, the only pic for now is here:

Any C&C are welcome!

Little update as the progress goes on slowly in lack of time: modified front and hood, filled spoiler holes on the trunk so far, interior and engine parts were painted.

Good job so far! keep it going.

The progress goes so slow, sorry. The body is painted grassgreen, not cleared yet, just to show the color. Interior is mostly done, I painted it black / brown combo with some gunship gray accent, and used tan carpets in the interior. Belts also are added, just as the driving figure with a dog. What do you guys think?

Looks like a nice combination.

I like the colour. Seems a bit unusual for this car, but I like it anyway.
Interior is looking great too. Did you buy the figures as shown, or did you have to paint them yourself.
I think they fit the car nicely.

Thanks dude!
I bought the figures painted.

I'm definitely keeping an eye on this thread. I just got a new Ford Mustang, so I am all into building Mustang models right now. I might have to try to do a convertible conversion some day.

Thanks dude, still I'm undecided about putting racing stripes on this convertible or not. What do you think?

It does, yes, but the figure also has a big size tatto on his left forearm, I guess Barack Obama doesn't

This is how it looks with stripes: no Mustang racing stripes but I made something different. What do you think?

geckoman1220 · #12 11-05-2008, 07:16 PM

Thanks, I use Aoshima Blitz Techno Speed Z4 '19 rims and tires on this Mustang!

Are those stripes off a 70-72 Trans Am? They look like them. Great work.
