I'm taking a short break from my long term projects to knock out a quick build for Christmas. I found this 1964 1/2 Mustang kit on clearance at Michael's for less that 10 bucks, and since my wife's sister and her husband have this car, I thought it would make a fun gift for Christmas.



Here's the kit.

Here are some pictures of the actual car:

This is not going to be a super-detailed build, but I'm just going to do it as clean as I can. The only things I'll be adding is a new pre-wired distributor and maybe some battery cables, and a Pro Tech air cleaner to match the real car.

I started with some painting. Got the Semi-Gloss black parts painted.

The real car has overspray on the bottom of the chassis, so I gave this chassis the same treatment. Here are a few pics of the real underside.I think I'm going to lay some more body paint down on the chassis and will for sure be weathering it.

Here are a few mock-ups of some of the painted parts:

The kit comes with markings on the decal sheet for some of the emblems, but not the hood, do I decided to try the BMF under the paint trick. Seemed to work OK.

The real car was just repainted with the factory Poppy Red color, so I ordered that color from Scalefinishes.com. I got the color on, but it needs a clear coat, which will go on soon.

I managed to get this one done just in time for Christmas. It was a struggle to meet the timeline, so I didn't stop to take too many pictures! But here are a few I managed to squeeze in.

The kit only had one of the mirrors of the type that thazt the real car had, and it ended up going down my drain when I attempted to wash it, so I scratched out two of them.

Added a MAD pre-wired distributor and scratch-built a coil (not pictured).

That's all I have for WIP pics.
