It is the AMT 66 Mustang with the chassis (shortened) and 351C from the AMT 73 Cougar. There is a ton of scratched and modified parts, including the bumpers, winch, dash, suspension, skid plates etc, etc. I used several painting techniques to achieve the faded, scorched, weathered look of both the chassis, and body. It was a fun build and I learned a lot.

Newbie Posts: 9 Group: Members Member #252 Joined: May 23, 2006	Not that I stand much of a chance, and I apoligize for the pink background, but here goes. My Impala lowrider. I foiled the trim(obviously), the air cleaner, oil pan, and several other area's throughout the mode, including the interior. I added spark plug wiring. The interior is white and green, with flocked carpet area's. I removed the gauges, painted them, then sanded off the paint from the dials, and glue it back in place and used Woodland Scenics realistic water overcoated with future to replicate the lens. I used a silver Primsacolor verithin pencil for the chrome accents on the dashboard. Believe it or not this whole thing was done with acrylics.
