Great choice! I am a huge fan of Mustang because my oldest son owned one few years ago. I’d love to own one myself but I don’t think it will be that easy for me to get in and out of that car for me anymore. 🤣
I will be following your build definitely. Good luck!

Need to build 80 kits per year until I'm 100 to deplete my stash. Maybe I should sell a couple.

This is gonna be so dang good and a great choice in color. My go to color paints for autos are either Zero or MCW. Both shoot on as smooth as silk.

I wonder if you could add a touch of Green to the Yellow to bring it a little closer to Zero’s Acid Yellow? I recall doing something similar with brake callipers on a previous build..

I'm finishing some open projects and work commitments ... don't help I've got the same thing goin' on as well otherwise I would've been most of the way through the Vette by now. Can't believe it's taking me this long to get this one done. I haven't even gotten good and started on the chassis yet.  |
