Still waiting for the new decals but fired up the airbrush to get the base coats shot...a light powder blue shade for the Mustang and a lime green metallic for the Vega (future build that needs completed as well). The blue is 2 parts French Blue one Part white...the green is straight from the bottle, a Boyd Coddington color, which I've had sitting around for awhile The Mustang has kinda come full circle, as I stated in the first post the original kit was the MPC Blue Max, which had a base of light blue, it got changed over to the orange when I decided to do the Brutus Mustang, ironically because of decal issues... They now got to bake out for a couple days...waiting again

Looks like your closing in on the big finish
-
lookin good, chassis detail is real nice
-
HI Jack, thanks for the suggestion...yep turned to the Micro products first thing...no joy, these are about 20 yrs old and I really didn't pay any attention to how they were stored
-
Hey Denis...just catching up the engine and body are looking really good, this is gonna be quite the show piece
-
OK here we go again......here's a pic of the new scheme...Keeling and Clayton California Charger, which is actually just the team name to my knowledge they never ran a Charger as in MOPAR...the team was primarily known for their top full entries but ran Funnys as well, a Pinto, Mustang and ended with a Firebird. Decals are on the way so I got the body scuffed up for a new primer coat and repainted teh chassis in semi gloss black, had to do a little disassembly to accomplish that, but it should be fine nothing broke... I'm guessing I need to rename the build as it is no longer the Brutus Mustang...thanks for all the likes and the suggestions, tips & tricks, offers to assist and general support...much appreciated
-
Hi Lou no problem...I'm enjoying all the tips coming in
-
Thanks a bunch Lou...they would have but I've already ordered the different set, and the expenses are climbing on this build already, wonder why I didn't get a hit on them when I searched ebay??? weird. Thanks to all you guys for the assists much appreciated. The new paint shouldn't be too horrible, its just all black, well with that said we all know how black can be... Thanks again
-
Thanks loads...didn't see this till I posted my order from Slixx...thanks again you're the best
-
Problem solved...this will become the Trojan Horse Mustang and my Vega will be converted to the Green Elephant...ordered new decals from Slixx, I just have to repaint everything
-
THX Denis

CDW...This is why I love this website...Thanks much for the offer...I'm toying with the idea of converting it it to Connie Kalitta bounty Hunter...those decals are still available
-
I've been searching...this particular sheet was aftermarket from Slixx and is no longer available...it seems they are closing up shop and are no longer in production...I've only used the grill and tail sections of the sheet...if I can save the rest I may be able to find the those parts...Anyone have any experience/recommendations with water slide decal paper for laser printers
-
Finally got the decal film...but no joy, they seem to have deteriorated beyond the point of no return, they continue to breakup or curl and not adhere if they release from the paper at all...pretty disappointing I've attached a few photos of the incomplete build just so you can see how the corrected stance looks...thanks to all that have followed along, was fun...decal issues aside
-
We were all millionaires at one time and had no clue...for me it was the comic book collection (nerdy I know)...cars I never saved built um as fast as I could get them
-
Not much to add at this point...still waiting for the decal stuff, seems they sent me the wrong item so they had to reship...may be here tomorrow. In the interim I just been doing some touch-up work on the window frames and parachute pack, sorry no pics, maybe later today...show to shovel first, man I hate winter
-
Nice bit of progress Denis...she looks real good
-
Thanks Mark...great to have a resident expert in the house, much appreciated!
-
Hey Denis...does your car have the parachute cords? I'm gonna have to scratch mine but I wondered if they show where to mount um under the chassis??
-
Na never...
-

-
