1970 Mustang Boss project.

[snowboi1289]

I had a thread about this project,but it seems like it was also lost in the hack..

Ive been working on the weekly,so I dont plan on updating it everyday,but I might post a couple updates every-other day..Ive recently the body on a evo chassie,that has three chassie extensions,it fits ok,but it needs to be touched up in some areas. When I get some extra money,ill go down to my LHS,and buy some body filler,or putty,and start to cover up some flaws in the body,such as the front bumper,right fender,and prolly the hood.The body looks realy low,so im going to try to lift the front and rear a lil bit more,ive lifted it allready with 2 gen.1 yellow bushings.Im thinking about classic red paint and 2 black stripes in the middle..

Heres some recent pics..hope you like it..

Finally! Someone does it the EASY way! Everyone seems to be making it so hard on themselves by making some custom Über-spacer. For once, someone did it the easy way!

Looks good, can't wait to see it finished!

it wasnt that easy,all the spacers didnt just fit,so i had to file some parts down,and it still doesnt fit all that great,but i got it to stay in one place..

and a small update.I got the headlights mounted in the model's front bumper,heres the pics

EDIT: sry for the bad pics,my x-girlfriend threw me the camera,and i guess i have to go through the settings,and put it the way it was..

[stang_racer]

lol if ur not useing the motor ill take it for one of my other models lol pm me and really nice work mounting the body and on the head lights my friend has that same model and i really like the motor he has lol

[snowboi1289]

the motor is being modded to fit under the hood,sry..

[fordman239]

thats what i want to do, but make it go through the hood, like the atomic super scoop blower.

I did that on one of my cars, and wouldve done it on the others if I had a pile of spacers sitting around... which I dont.

I cant wait to see this one finished! It looks pretty **** nice. I think I have that same model lying around here somewhere, and I was considering doing it, but I figured Id save it for later.

[lol]

Wow... nice to see you to put some good use to those Tires I sent you centuries ago :D :nod: Seems like a very good project... hope it turns out good

[texan_idiot25]

My little bro has this kit, it's one of those snap-kits right?

Looks pretty sweet thus far.

nope,its the kinda project that if you dont glue the stuff right,it will fall apart..

AzNKevin4EvA, im only using the rear tires,the front is being use for the 04 mustang.. . ... .

[Lowrideit]

Wow that is gonna turn out really sick.

[Stampedekid]

Ooh, I have always liked Mustang Boss'es. Can't wait to see it finished.

[stang_racer]

awwww man cuz that motor looks good too lol have fun mounting it and i hope it looks good when its done!!!

[JackSparrow]

Does the hood open?

[snowboi1289]

I've been working on it non-stop (well for a few weeks). I started school yesterday, so I wont be able to work on it that much. It may seem like I havent touched it for months, but I hace. I didnt want to mess up the body all, and turn to body filler to fix it, but that changed. The front bumper is glued on, but theres a large crack between the bumper and the body(where I attached the bumper to the front end of the body). It may not look the best, but its mine and I will like it (I hope).

I've been working with body filler alot lately, with the my Corvette "Dead Vette" being sold, I figured it could be my test body for the body filler work. Its going ok, theres still alot of work to do though..


Heres some pictures of the Mustang Boss,

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

what, i just bought the exact same kit, mines going to be light green with white stripes though...did your front bumper fit the main body, mines to big...

[snowboi1289]

Yeah it fits, but I glued it kinda wrong.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

mine is like 4-5 mm to wide but the paint looks good, what type of paint are you going for? (matalic looks so good)

[snowboi1289]

I'm going with the stock look. You cant go wrong with stock! Red and black stripes.

[HUMMER H4]

Awsome,keep us updated.

[BulletsRain]

Pretty nice man. I really like how it sits on the chassis. Almost looks like the model I have, but mines a bit different. :)

[blue504life]

that makes3 of us with this kit, the red will look good, but whats up with you and red? the 65, the silverodo, the vette and then some, i think its time to move away from the red, atleast after this car

[snowboi1289]

I've got other colors to use. The reason for the red on the Vette, was because my uncle has a Vette that is red, and I wanted to give him the Vette for a small gift, but the paint was bad, and I still didnt get a chassis for it, so it went up for sale, then I wanted to re-do it, and try to get it right. The Silverado was just cheap. I only had red at the time, and primer white.

The Vette will be a different color after I'm done. But this Mustang will be red. If I cant get the right stripes, then it'll still be red. My first real body project is the Mustang Boss, so I really wanna take my time to get it right.

yeah i know what you mean, reds a good color goes on anything, i just painted a 87 thunderturd red, looks good, but what im trying to say is jump to other colors as much as possible. the boss will be one nice car when your done

[snowboi1289]

I've been going to other colors, nobody just has seen all the cars that I have done.
**Hint, Firebird **

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

what type of red are going with,,,may just be my moniter but the link you posted looked a little orange, i was thinking of dark red on mine to begin with but i don't know if that would go with your black stripes...

[merc3des]

Sweet, can't wait to see it finished.

[snowboi1289]

It may look like orange, but its red. I'm diffenity not going with dark red. Bright colors noticeacle, and most dark colors arnt as noticable.

[merc3des]

yea orange should be cool.

[snowboi1289]

No, orange will not look cool. Red is the stock color for this car. I want it to look almost like stock, you cant go wrong with stock.

[merc3des]

jeez, orange will still look cooler! Hah, it should be great either way.

[snowboi1289]

Well, long time no update reply. Kinda sad how it will go down, it will be sold. I didnt completely finish it, its painted black. with very bright headlights, way brighter than stock xmods headlights. I'll get more pictures once the paint/clear coat dries completely.

[Rovonic]

Nice black color,those are bright,what are they?

[snowboi1289]

I dont remember, I got it from PratsExpress.com . I think there 5mm, dont know really. There way bigger and better than tiny xmods ones.

Go to my for sale thread if you would like to buy it, because I know it will be sold either this week or next week.

[sciontc333]

man thats looking good if i were you i would leave it flat black. but then again i think every thing looks better flat black lol

[snowboi1289]

I just threw some clear coat on it, it shouldnt look to bad, but I'm not going to keep it, because I'm selling it now.
