I started this because I was looking at it for too long while working on another Mustang based project. Never having built this kit; but always planning to, I figured I should see how it goes together since it was opened.... Perfect excuse for me; as if I don't have enough on the bench. It will be out-of-the-box for simplicity. I want to see how it builds before I make the two other cars I sort of plan to make someday with this family of kits.
I've mostly been tinkering with it and cleaning up the body for the last month or more. But I also built up the motor and rather than airbrush the parts as I'd normally do, I just brush painted them.
