Mustang "Black Sunshine"

OK heres another one started, I pulld it out the other day and thought HO HUM, what to do with this one, so here are som shots up to today, havent done much, but it wont be whats on the box for sure, now these first few are right out of the box, then a lil work, few shots








Now I cut the post out of it to, OH i dynno just thought it would look kewl
then found a hood that I really liked, and shaved it to fit, and it does, very nicely, got the stance I want and wheels too

cutting the post out makes a big diffrent look about it.I like it.

Lokks better without the post and a Falcon nice bonnet too!

Nice start, these do look better without the post.

i like the vent in the pillar

bigger rims? 18's or 20's to fill up the wheel wells.
no posts

new bonnet

good fit, does it still line up with the grill ?

very nice indeed Agree with everyone else better without the posts

Yea actually I shaved the intake vents offa the hood, and as you can see added a piece of plastic to the grill frame, but even with the kits hood you would have to add plastic, some real minor adjustments and it works great, useing the kits hood as a pattern.

Man I wish I had some 18s but I have to go with what I have in the parts box, tho I do have some plan's for the body, to help close the fenders a lil tho I dunno if it will look good, so it will be mocked up, in a few days to see....

Now there's a prime example of off-putting box art.
I'd never buy this based on that photo.

You've made a promising start there unforgiven. You wouldn't be planning to paint it black would you...?

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the box ,I didn't think the model could have come from that box ....

Nooo......that box art's got Zen written all over it

...............actually I built this kit in my junior years exactly like the box art, still got the remnants of it somewhere!!!!

I did one a looooonngg time ago too, my 1st attempt at the pro street look..... mmmmm
I also learnt about auto paint and no primer
AND I also learnt that dust and model car chrome aint best of friends
the lessons we learn

I dunno about the color tho one would kinda expect it to be black, so maybe, I know the 429 that I have for it will be black and chrome, here are some shots of the new rear spoiler, I just primerd it and have a lil more work to do. then I will have some good mock up's I think...
