dmthamade Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Going to try and do one more build, a 1968 Mustang fastback. This will be another Pro street build, will do a backhalf conversion with relocated leaf springs. Engine choice will probably be the kit Cobra Jet option, wheels will be resin wheels from Perrys resin. Fix Or Repair = FORD Daily Sorry, couldn't resist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) I'll have you know, Sir, that I replaced an Audi A6 (2 yrs old, kept having to be stretchered off the pitch, main dealers baffled, usual story, etc.) with an ageing Mondeo -or 'Mon Dieu!' until I could find something I could live with. That was in 2005; the Ford never missed a beat in this time & ran on pocket money until someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse this year. Still miss it. I guess there's always one, isn't there! Now, about that Mustang...not a P-51, then? :russian-roulette-smiley: Edited September 24, 2011 by ChippyWho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I just finished up a Boss 429 not too long ago. I'll be watching with interest. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Been able to do some work on the mustang. Finished up the rear conversion, and have a coat of flat black primer over the parts. Instead of a four link, i went with a relocated leaf spring setup. Interior will be getting minimal work. I have to say, the quality of the kit is not as good as the Dart i just finished, the Mustang has very simple detail especially the engine. I may build this as a curbside build. This pic shows the approximate stance i'm going for, the wheels are resin parts from Perry's Resin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 You made me google Perrys Resin and they have a holy grail of mine-a '68 Cuda conversion... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirkpitt289 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I've been a huge Mustang fan and owner most of my life and always cringed when people butcher them to make race cars. Even when its in plastic. All kidding aside this one is looking great. I look forward to seeing more of it. Thanks for sharing. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Times running out on me for this build, have finished the basic chassis and interior.
