68 Shelby GT500

G' Day Folks,
Continuing on with my 'muscle car' builds, here's my next installment !
1/25 AMT kit, I've read somewhere this kit has been re-issued quite a few times, I was disapointed that this issue from 2006 had no 'GT500' decals , so I decided to build this a little different.
It's one of those kits that has lots of pin marks and flash, so you have to do a lot of prep work, the chrome trees were not good, some parts were damaged, the wheels were quite bad, the list goes on!
Anyway, I'm happy how it turned out, I gave it a tough street cruiser look.
Color is 'Mr Color' Metallic Blue, wheels are deep dish Nascar Steels from the 'The Parts Box', my usual details with the engine and semigloss black interior.
Cheers and thanks for looking
Ray

Very cool Mustang

Tuff and tidy street racer mate, yet another cool build!

very nice

I like that blue.
Nice build Ray.

From your description of the kit you have successfully made a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Nice build.

^ Wot he said!! Well done. That is by far the tuffest looking shelby I've ever seen.

Cheers and thanks for the comments guys !
My brother just popped in for a coffee and said that it looked like a 'Rednecks moonshine delivery car'! cue in Steve Earl's "Copperhead Road" !

ps: But we all know that was a 'big black dodge' which is my next build, a 68 Charger R/T....not black though

Great build mate the colour really suits the shape of the old girl.

Nice work Ray. I love how it looks with the clean blue body with gold wide wheels, not having the decals worked in it's favour. It looks like what a Nascar driver from back in the day would use for his weekday car.

Wow love the paint job really stands out. the color of the rims really suits the car. Great work as always Ray

Looks track ready.Very neat build
