Needs chrome trim, Andy.

Where exactly?

Where exactly?

Window and windshield frames for starters. Take notice that the A-post in the 1971 Rivi is all chrome, not a single part of it is body color. Look at this, exactly your car, only shiny, but the chrome trim around the glass breaks the all-black blob and gives it a bit of life:

EDIT: Ah, and also, the... thing in the center of the tail-lap panel is body color:

wrong button.

A few wheel swaps I've done lately



This has got to be one of my favorites, ever.


And here it is with its sister I did a while ago.

~details on how to make the Riviera awesomer~

While you're at it you might want to paint the inside of the exhaust pipes black.
Cool car though, I may do something similar with my Riviera, but only after I finish the 9001 model kits I own (this will never happen).

Any sneak pics of your Brumos car @Cano ?

Nah, I have just finished the livery literally last night, and also a Martini version. This next saturday the cars will get painted and tampoed. They're being built to take part in a contest held the last saturday of this month under the "Mild" category, which only allows a paint job and wheel change, so we want to sweep it.

I'll take some pics of the painted shell and tag you, and again when they're done and we show them on the blog. Or just keep an eye in this thread, they'll eventually surface here. I'll make sure to post them up soon 👍

Here's the Custom Mustang I posted in the collectors thread


I said I would restore it right?

Got damn about the only usable thing out of that is the base. Poor car.

Anyhow, we've got a new feature on Custom Diecast México, and I personally think it's one of the coolest yet. Say hi to our friend Vaquero's big bad tanker:

I love it.

Even the base was all bent.

I'm doing my best to restore it though.

I'm surprised you're even trying. I would have cut the engine and the grille so maybe I can use it in other car and throw the rest away, or maybe try to straighten the framr and keep it, hoping to one day find a body that needs it. Still, respect if you manage to do anything with it.

The hardest part will be the interior. I'll have to scratch build something.

Just take it off another Mustang. Maybe an interior off this one:

could be a good starting point. That or the Shelby version released a year ago or so, just look for Mustangs in the bins!

 

[Sonygamer455]

Funny I was just looking at that one earlier and how it reminded me of the Custom Mustang and then you post it.

Well, both are 67s, so it indeed should remind you of it. Altough to be fair, the redline casting is incredibly bad.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Is it bad that I like the Redline casting better? Haha, I knew there was something similar about the two but I never bothered to look them up. Redline casting is old, but gold! Literally!

Or I could find one of these reproductions at a flea market or something, for the roof and interior.

 

[Sonygamer455]

That will work.

I must say that Custom Mustang you got there is a disgusting site if I ever saw one. *plays ominous piano music*

 

[Zychotic1]

I play too


I have lots more, some VERY modified but I need to find them.
perhaps I have mental issues... I still play with em... beyond normal play

 

[AOS-]

Yeeeah! Hand-painted 24 Ours FTW.

 

[Zychotic1]

found a few more of my simple re-paints..
another for the Nismo family


this was actually just a sticker slap from an old happy meal toy


Pair of Gremlins for different purposes



and found one of my more than just repaints... Monster truck anyone

 

[mustang fanatic]

That monster Mustang is awesome.

 

[Cano]

Haha, I love the Gremlins!

 

[mustang fanatic]

Just finished painting a 67 Camaro. I'll see how it turns out tomorrow.

 

[Daniel008]

Delorean DMC-12

 

[mustang fanatic]

Here's the Camaro.

It was black. Brought it down to bare metal again. With my fingernail.

Any thoughts?

I said I would make this.

See the relation?

Any tips for removing the spoiler?
