The Mustang and Corvette Group Build

I like your choice of colour again Eric, is it Grabber Orange ? The '70 Boss 429 I built years ago was Grabber Blue, and I've always wanted to complete my set of Boss Mustangs, having done both the '70 cars, I should do a 69 429 and 302, and a 71 351. For some reason, Grabber Green for the 351 appeals, but it's a seriously ugly kit. I still haven't worked out how to fix the molded in headlight lenses.

Cheers

Thanks Tony,

Yep it's Grabber Orange. I wish the 429 had the stripes like the 302. Haven't had much time due to work but I hope to get some more done in the next few days.

L8TR,

Eric

Yeah, I'm with you on that Eric. It was much more restrained, at least in paintwork.

Cheers

Tony

Welcome aboard pws73703, I've updated the build roster with your entry.

Tony

Thanks taxtp

Here's an update on the Mustang.

Engine is wired and most of the chassis stuff is done. I've also finished the interior and drilled out the holes for the gauges. Also started chroming the trim on the body.

L8TR,

Eric.

Boss motor looks real nice!

The engine, and frame are looking good Eric!

Thanks Ed.

Thanks Dale. It's a monster hehehe.

L8TR,

Eric

Really nice work Eric, the Boss 429 was my favourite for many years. That's a fancy set of trumpets on that thing.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Everyone,

Since it's the first of May, it's timely to remind everyone to get their entries in before 31 May, though you can finish what you've started after that, of course.

Cheers

Tony

Looks pretty good, I think. Actually, the color works for me.

Cheers

Tony

Thanks for letting me know 68GT, I'll add it to that GB and note it here. I might even have to do the same.

Cheers

Tony

Thanks Tony.

pws,

I like that color. I did a 70 Chevelle in natural khaki which similar and it came out great.

Didn't do much to the Mustang today as I was prepping a Gremlin for the other GB. I did get some more chrome work done.

I did set the body on the frame to see how it's gonna sit. it's a nice kit but the wheels that came with were crap, so I robbed a set of Cragers from another kit hehehe. I like it! hehehehe

L8TR,

Eric

Thanks Eric, updates made.

I do like the Grabber Orange.

Cheers

Tony

Thanks Tony.

Did some of the cosmetic stuff to the Mustang yesterday. Finished the chrome foil, mounted the windshield, mounted the engine. If all goes to plan, It will be finished this weekend.

I'll post some pics Saturday.

Tony, I will need to roll the vette and the funny car over to the other group build. Thanks

L8TR,

Eric

Nice work Eric, I've switched the two builds to the other GB.

Cheers

Tony

Thanks Tony,

Also here is the completed Boss 429 photo.

L8TR,

Eric

Great effort Eric. Wear your badge with pride. It looks pretty good to me, and the Grabber Orange looks just right. Thanks for completing it, and also for your contribution with the badges.

Cheers

Tony

10 days to go folks. Let me know if you want to complete your build here or transfer it over to the 2014 Automotive GB

Cheers

Tony

Doh!  I didn't realize the time limit was up on this GB.

I guess I will have to roll my 53 over to the 2014 auto GB.  The weather is too nice so I don't see myself completing either build very soon.  

At least I got the one done.  Poorly -but done.  :)

Thanks for running the GB Tony, it was fun and I learned a lot.
