taaron76 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Anyone who has built this kit (AMT 1:24) knows that the quality is lacking in just about every area, but I did the best I could and made it salvageable. I took way to many pics of the entire build to post here, but below you will find a link to the photo gallery, if you want to see more of the build, step-by-step. Thanks for looking!

vamach1 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Super nice job the Mustang. I noticed the running horse emblems instead of the Snake on the fenders - nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taaron76 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Super nice job the Mustang. I noticed the running horse emblems instead of the Snake on the fenders - nice touch.I actually ditched all of the "Shelby" badging and just went for this look instead. I thought about putting the PE "Mustang" across the front of the hood and read trunk lid, but changed my mind at the last minute. I do need to install the hood pins though, which are in the mail. Thanks!Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Now where in the world does a guy start in regards to compliments on a build like that! I do like seeing a car dropped like this. Suspension work is tops as well as all the other details of this ride. Wayda go brutha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
