Not a Moustang III anymore

COOOL!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see it done!

Have a fan and shroud squeezed in behind the skull. It'll be slightly visible and suggest the imaginary radiator further into the skull.



And now, the body and skull are an integral unit. Awaiting refinement.

Looking good  

This is the wildest project I have ever seen. Can't wait to see the finished project!

Starting the molding.
Around the top of the eye sockets:


And base form for the run back :


Now with a coat of primer:


And just in case anyone gets the idea that this is a wussy ride, I'm giving it a tad of backbone !!!


As I went thru my stash of "bone pile", I'm showing y'all what marvelous restraint I used regarding backbone material !
 

Upon further review, I decided to add a little spine.

That a boy, put your back in to it :-)

Looking good Clay. Nice blending on the sides!!

This thread always brings a smile - it's great!

The beastie is in the paint shop.

Looks good   Can't wait to see it painted

Workin on it.
Airbrush not co-operating, so I'm relying more on hand work.
Stay tuned !

Doh!    If you can't make an airbrush work, what chance do I have?

Just can't get the freekin acrylic paint thinned right !!!

Have you tried adding a little dish soap/window cleaner and/or glycerin (wallyworld)? The soap breaks skin tension and helps the paint flow. The glycerin extends the drying time. I have a recipe for acrylic thinner somewhere.

Sounds like a good idea, Don. I usually don't have trouble in other mediums. I'll have to try that sometime. Pretty much have this where I ain't too anxious to mess with it any more.

Starting assembly and putting together...stuff.
Here I have added the air cleaner (scoop) risers and put in a couple of braided lines to the manifold.... for whatever function they may add. Mostly because they look cool.
And I'm salvaging the scratched dash from the Frankenstein fiasco with a new steering wheel.

Looking good Clay.

Whilst I think this is a great looking build, I'm also not sure whether to be scared or not at the same time...

Nice work Clay. I like the dash a lot.

Thanks, guys !
About have it wrapped up. Possibly finish fotos this weekend, or sooner cause that's the part I like.

Can't wait for the photos - a truly different build and lots of effort. Fantastic !

I really dig it. I've got a mouse skull in the parts box I've wanted to use in the same fashion as the skull on the Difibullator.

Curt, Before I retired I owned a transmission shop. I built the transmission for that car. It was still in primer when I drove it to check out the tranny. It was built by Larry Foss is Montesano, Washington. I am not sure who he built it for. it was a customers car, it wasn't his. He said the guy wanted it " As Rothish as possible" I think Larry did a great job on it. That was about 2006 or 2007. Hard to remember now.
