BURNOUT BUILD 71 Boss Mustang Update

This is a very rough mock up of the body kit, wheels, and engine.

I switched from the 7.3 Godzilla to the Blown 429 for a more aggressive look. The engine looks like I’ll barely need to modify the engine bay so that’s a huge plus. The body kit fits real nice though I’m going to need to sand down the rear fenders slightly to accommodate the huge rear wheels. I’m not sure what kind of stance I wanna go for yet. I don’t think it would look great if it was slammed to the ground and I don’t want it to sit so high it looks like it has a lift kit, I need to find just the right balance.

Hopefully it might help someone in the future, but im going to start making scans of some of the rarer decal sheets before I use them on my builds

Picked this kit up at a swap for $15. Wasn't sure what to expect as it was tooled in the 80's. The kit was not terrible, had a few quirks and small fit issues. Overall came out pretty decent.

Finally finished this kit. Used BMF Ultra Bright for the first time and can say I'm not a fan. Considerably more challenging to work with than the regular "new & improved". However, the build turned out well, particularly the finish on the body.

We really need to see the Tide colors back out on the track consistently - they always look sooo good! This custom is built off of the Salvinos Chevy ZL1 kit. I chose not to paint here - the fl red/ orange here is the molded color for their #24 Axalta Daytona Winner kit with a coat of clear to seal it before the decals were applied. Decals where designed by myself and can be found on Print-It decals under SlipsRacingDesigns.

I'm way late but had to clear bench of last project and this one sort of morphed into a burn out build. 66 Camino using a blown motor from the berlinetta bliss kit. Aftermarket wheels and raking the suspension. Here's the mock up with out me jacking the back up yet. Motor build and now I'm going to modify firewall and motor mounts to get it to fit.
