Been very lax lately and not seen the video's for a change.

Looking good so far.

Here we go with a classic bit of American muscle! Top choice of subject, Dirk and you're off to a great start.

Applied the first coat of primer to the chassis



Removed the license print from the chassis



Added some dark charcoal because black looks to stark and doesn't look right in this scale





Started painting the interior using some flat black



Since the GT-350 cars didn't have any back seats we installed the fiberglass tray which replaces the rear seat assembly of the Mustang 2 + 2 and the spare tire was removed from the trunk supposedly for better over all balance

Progressing very nicely, Dirk. I'm with you on the use of the charcoal shade as on models straight black can just be too black!

off to a good start with one of the best American muscle cars

That has turned out great, Dirk.
I agree, the personalized license plate is a nice touch.
