Okay everyone,
Got some work done this weekend. I got the ZY coupe painted basecoat. No pictures of that one yet. Will probably post some of those tomorrow.
For now here are some pics of the TR. I found some Saleen wheels and mocked them up (Owner used photoshop to make them black. Looks awesome), blacked out the grill, added the Cobra emblem to the grill. Blacked out the H/E. I also tinted the windows. I tried to use window film, but it did not work well with the plastic. So, I ended up using that "Night Shades" taillight tint. I think it came out looking pretty good.
Still trying to finalize some details on this one, but for now it is looking pretty good.

^^^^ That was an awesome video Danny! Thank you for posting that. Not that it's a good thing, but I really enjoyed the story about the blue Mach 1.
I have had some issues with my cars too. It seems no matter how good you pack, sometimes things happen (i.e. wing coming off, wheel popping off and rear view mirror falling out). The good things is SVTP members ALWAYS work with me and are patient and have good attitudes when problems arise. However, I have sold some cars on ebay (namely MC) and people tend to be a little more vocal/aggressive. Guess they feel they have power to screw with your feedback rating, not sure.
I had a guy that bought a MC coupe. Yes, he paid a pretty penny for it, but in my description I said the car was not perfect. Also, Maisto cars are NOT the highest quality of diecast cars out there. I mean the rear view mirror is just pressed into a hole. So, they have a tendency to fall out some times during shipping. He sent me a message saying the rear view mirror fell out and he was not happy. He sent a picture and the actual silver piece (mirror) was missing from the plastic housing. Probably got stuck to the shipping material and was accidentally thrown away because it was there when I shipped it.
Anyway, long story short, I ended up sending him a new one (cost me $8 just to send that tiny @$$ mirror). have not heard back from him yet. Hopefully he received it, installed it and is now "happy."
Thanks again for posting that video. Was really cool!

Looking good Glenn!.. Hey I found a French made Super snake diecast with my wheels on it so they'll help me finish my red fire! Finally!! Ha Ha
Thanks David! That's awesome. I have found that if you look hard enough you can find a lot of stuff in the diecast world. Not everything (i.e. Roush front bumper LOL), but a lot.
Okay everyone,
Got a lot done over the 3 day weekend.
Here is the assembly line..........

Closer look at the ZY.........
Got it in clear coat and got the wheels painted alloy as this one is not receiving chrome wheels.

Closer look at the CO.
This is a new project. So, got it in base coat CO. Then I sprayed the clear coat the same time I did the ZY. These are coming out great. I love how they look after the clear coat is applied...........

LOL, I hear you Revvv! I'm at the paint and body shop every weekend LOL.
Okay,
Got the TR finished up last night.
Here's the list of options the owner wanted:
1. Lowered (not slammed lol)
2. Black wheels (saleens if possible) with SVT logo center caps
3. Black SVT letters on trunk Lid
4. Black Cobra emblem on fender
5. All 4 Red brake calipers
6. Florida license plate with KyleSVT on it
7. Ford emblem delete on trunk lid (Replace with Full Tilt Boogie Logo)
8. Black Cobra bumper letter inserts
9. Black out intercooler
10. Black out grill (behind the running horse emblem)
11. Add Cobra (snake) to the grill
Other options if possible (just throwing theses out there)
1. Matching my Full Tilt Boogie Racing Windshield banner (would be epic)
2. Tinting rear window and side windows a bit
And here are the results...............

Thanks David! Much appreciated!
BTW, got the 2017 supersnake diecast... wheels and car are resin and t0o fragile to remove so back to Asia and 3D printing my solid model wheels.. Ugh!
Do you have a regular 99 - 04 Mustang bumper? If you send me one I can get it scanned then make it match the Roush then print you a few...

Well, that sucks David. Hopefully you'll get it figured out and get those wheels.
I have a regular 99-04 bumper and I have the 03 Cobra bumper too. Man, if you could do that I would be eternally grateful! I've been wanting a replica of my 380R for some time now. I know others would like to have a replica of their 360R or 380R as well.
I'll shoot you a PM in order to workout the detailed.
THANKS David!!!
Okay,
Got the ZY Coupe finished over the weekend. This one is almost 100% stock. Changes include painted Alloy wheels and personalized plate.

Also, made some progress on the CO coupe.
This one is going to have some personal touches. I'm working on some of those touches. An SVT H/E Stencil, black seat inserts AND an orange shift ball/knob (First time I've ever attempted this)....... Got some more clean up on the interior to do, but overall I think the shifter ball is looking good.

LOL Have a great Thanks Giving Glenn and same to all on SVT... If it doesn't rain tomorrow I'll be lighting it up on my way to SD
