Many many thanks.

To be honest what I know about auto kits you could put in a thimble and have room to spare. As for the really shinny finish, if I go that way it will be with Novus.

A small update.


The under parts and the interior tub get some paint and a bit of drybrushing. Semi Gloss Black, Model Master Metalizer Stainless Steel, and then Testors Flat Aluminium.

Next will be detail work on the under parts and such.

Just realised that whilst I've been following this project, I've not written anything... Sorry Joe, it's looking very good indeed, the Monogram (then Revell) '66 Mustang fastback is one of my favourite car kits, just falls together and looks superb.

Doing a great job, friend.

Ian.

This is so cool. :ro:
This build is a big help to me....I can watch your build and ignore the piece of styrene on my bench, that refuses to form, conform, reform it's self into a model-sigh :huh: :lol:

Well after a bit of a lengthy break I am back.

Work continues on the Mustang with engine work, chassis work, and work on the interior. Trying my hand at wiring the engine again. Hope it works better than the last time.

Til the next time.

That stang is looking mighty sweet. Good start on the wiring. Kinds reminds me of my dad's 65 mustang when I was younger.

We have a rolling chassis. The engine is now installed as well.
