It was pointed out to me elsewhere that the wheel depth was too far in and I had noticed it before and it bothered me. Since I was originally concerned with the stance of the model, wheel depth was next. I had only pushed the wheels on with no glue and now I can control the depth by pushing the wheels out to the edge of the wheelwells. Here is my Stumptown Mustang GT and my Spenser For Hire Mustang GT. My Spenser For Hire Mustang GT was built with the kit wheels and tires.    Dex Parios will return... |

Paint was flyin' this afternoon! I primed and painted the hood and body of the Mustang GT with Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red. When dried, I was "dirty" the finish.    Dex Parios will return... |

man, moving right along an 2 builds. the wheel correction is vital. when wheels are too far in. it make the whole build look off. nice correction.

Thanks Al! I had to correct the wheel situation so this Mustang GT looked right.

I added the air intake tube and it didn't fit. I trimmed the airbox and I tried to make it fit and I eventually removed it. I will have to make one from scratch. I added an ignition coil and mounted it on the shock tower.    Dex Parios will return... |

I made my air box from scratch. It's a little bit short, but it's not too bad!    Dex Parios will return... |

Having ignored the Stumptown Mustang GT for a while, I decided to do a mockup to see how the wheels and tires would look like. Not bad!    Dex Parios will return... |
