First up for me this time is the body paint.

For this I started with Rust-Oleum Aluminum, sanded with 2000 grit, then sprayed Model Master British Green Metallic. WOW.

No polishing yet. That is just the paint. One Coat. Wow. Just Wow.

Next will be to rub it out with some polishing cloths and wait for the polishing kit to show.

On YouTube you can see it here.

Looks nice and shiny from here, really smooth work. Is there a silver/ metallic flake in that paint. Will pop with some bare metal foil.

 

[fightnjoe]

Many thanks.

Scott there is a metal flake in there.

A little paint. A whole day spent between the two builds.

Not shown is another two rounds of sanding the body with 3200 grit cloth and more future.

Not much, but it is something.

Well after a bit of a lay off here she is again.

A little more paint and a little more done.

The chasis is ready.

The interior is painted and together.

The engine is ready to install.

And the body. Now this is done except for just a small amount of detail painting. I did rub it out and polish it off using the Novus system.

The pictures are a bit dark. Not sure why, I had plenty of light and it looked decent. I am thrilled as this is the best I have had any gloss coat. There are a couple of places that I cannot seem to get the gloss, I think I used too much of the polish. I will remember that the next time.

Next up is to install the bits and pieces and bring it all together. Not much longer folks.

And she is finished.

To recap this is the 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop. This was an entry in the 2014 Box Stock Community Build on Youtube.

The pictures to be blunt suck. I tried to get a neutral backdrop. I used my light booth and the finish looks dull. It is an illusion.

And just to show there is a gloss on the body.
