It's been almost 1 1/2 years since I picked up anything model car related, but the winter is the perfect opportunity to get started again. For the last year, I have been restoring my life size model car, my '66 Mustang. I always seem to lean on cutting the doors and trunk out in order to hinge them because I like the look of it. Once you do it once, it becomes the only way to go in my book. This kit is pretty challenging because out of the box, it really isn't a good kit to try and do anything custom on. I will be using a lot parts from different spares I've collected over the years, but this is a start of what more than likely will take 2-3 months for finish just because I don't have a lot of time at the moment. Here are a few pictures where both of them stand today. '68 Shelby GT-500 My '66 Mustang.

My latest is a black 1968 Mustang GT-500 Drag car. It’s an older AMT kit and I found it to be a bit challenging. It took me about 2 months to finish this one as I put it down many times because it frustrated me. I made the drag version of the car and put the larger engine in it. I could never get the drag exhaust to fit properly and since I had worked on the car for so long and was so far along I simply did not put an exhaust on it in favor of tossing the entire model in the trash. The sponsor stickers on the side came from other kits, such as the AMT Lowboy and the Revell Peterbilt 359 Conventional. I found the gold strips in an old model kit of the Titanic that my father gave me a long time ago. I have a trailer that I have customized that the car will go on and be towed around by a modified ’65 Chevy I am currently working on. Hopefully I will have that done soon and you guys can get a look at the entire package.
