Absolutely stunning, just gorgeous!

I have to say that it's probably the finest detail I've seen in a long time. Boy, what I'd give to have the experience of restoring real 1:1 cars and to be able to use that in making models. What an advantage!

Excellent, really!

Oh, about 6 weeks off and on. Had almost full days to work on it when I did this one. Now it takes about 6 weeks to do a OOB build with some minor detailing.

1967 Mustang GT

Posted by 70gtvert on Saturday, December 24, 2011 3:46 PM

Here is the old 67 Mustang GT issued in 1994. It is the AMT issue. Did a lot of work to it. Summers I restore or build 1 to 1 "models" but this is what I do winters. The grill I made by etching my own brass. The brakes are from a pair of older Fujimi kits, front from a Ferrari something or other and the back drums from an old 356. Opened all the doors and trunk, made more accurate hinges for the hood. Used my Dremel tool to make my own "turn signal" hood. Seats move and all the inner door items were removed and replaced with individual pieces. Trunk had the edges of the opening built to look like a prototypical sheet metal. Copied a trunk mat add photo and sized it to fit in the trunk. Lots of other small details like the "mustang" lettering on the trunk were hand made (I used household aluminum foil and burnished over the same lettering's on a 1970 Mustang fastback, glued the letters on to the 67 then lightly sanded the paint to show the "chrome" lettering. Here are some pics:
