Project: New Mustang GT

I am back again, and it may not look like I've done much... and I guess I really haven't. :lick:

Anyway I don't have the same fears you all have about it cracking or anything, it really isn't that much bondo, just a thin layer. It's all sanded down now though so take a look in the next few pics. It did sort of look like frosting on a cake though.

I had to sand down places where the plastic frame was in the way and touch it up a bit a few times, because the plastic didn't sand as fast as the bondo and it poked out a bit.

And I have skipped a lot of in between steps, but that is because it was the same thing over and over again. But here it is in its current state, and just sanding a few touch ups and it will be ready to paint. I think.

Because the top fan is sucking in I think the scoop is tall enough now.

The front panel. It may not look smooth in the picture but it is quite smooth. Except for that upper right red spot.

Hood scoop again.

The back. Still needs sanding.

Inside.

Power button. I need to do something different with this, but I'm not sure what yet.

4 Yate Loon fans and 2 white cold cathodes. I took a gamble with the fans and got the cheapy ones. I got the low speed ones, and I am hoping they are quiet. Or at least moderately quiet. From Xoxide.

And Chaos Theory, you should definitely go for the mod. :D Just kidding, the meizu m8 looks nice, do what you want!

looking great man i like it

Nice progress. Ya it doesn't seem you get a lot done but bondo/body work is VERY time consuming. +rep and keep at it.

Nice man, what color(s) will you be painting it?

It's a USB CPU usage meter using an automotive tachometer, it's a pretty simple circuit actually.

It is going to be either Torch Red (Bright red) or Red Candy (Dark Red) with a black side tape stripe. Similar to:

or

The CPU meter was pretty cool too.

Nice color, I like blue better but that's just my opinion :D
I hope the guy publishes the code for that CPU meter, I want one :D

Sorry for no updates in a while, but I've been a little busy. Still working on it though!

As I have mentioned before, I cannot fully take apart the case, and only one side panel can come off, so painting the inside and out a different color is difficult, but I have managed. On to the pics!

Finally, Finally ready to paint.

Starting with the primer.

The White is plastic primer, gray is self etching.

Taped it off to paint inside black.

It looks better inside than this now.

Other black pieces and fan grills.

Yay red! This is the first coat, I am ready to paint the 3rd now. Of course there is lots of wet sanding in between.

That's all the pictures I have! Still need to cut out the window. How do you suggest I cut out plastic or acrylic or whatever it is?

looking good mate

Thats a nice looking red man. Oh and look in the "modding Q&A" section. there is a thread in there about cutting plexi

I have sanded the final red coat with 2000 grit paper, and applied the decals!
I used some black "Wondertape" along with a mustang decal I got on Amazon.
I put the tape on wax paper and cut out strips with a fabric cutter of my mom's. Its like a pizza cutter, but for fabric. It worked great.

These pics may look like a little orange peel, but it is very smooth and just needs a clear coat or 2.

Oh, and I looked at some tips for cutting acrylic, thanks.
