Bit Char Gasser - Ford Mustang 68 Gasser

Hi you all !

I'm happy to show you my last BCG project :

The first idea was to re-use the resin Mustang body I've molded. But it was unsuccesfull, and the first custom paint was trash.

And it's the first time I try to use 2 batteries in the car, and I love Gasser, so that's why the second is at the front end. Like a gas tank on real Gasser !

The steering has been removed.

Wow.. nice job, man! thats awesome!

Erm.. noobish question..

How do you make resin bodies? i've wondered this for a while and haven't found anything on my searches..

Nice idea on placing the batt @ the front as a gas tank btw.. very practical

To make a resin body, I've red this website to learn how to.

You should see all pics if you don't read french.

Those pics show you each step.

Oh yeah, I remeber that place. I could never figure out how to order their bodies. I don't know French.

NIce start on the gasser. You know I'm a fan of drag cars.

@ crazydave, it's your '57 Gasser who inspired me.

That is a great looking body I have always liked that fastback! vary nice idea using the battery as a tank, vary original! I to can't wait to see the finished work!

This afternoon :

Finally the steering runs to control the Mustang Gasser a bit on straight line.

At 1/4 mile, it goes @ 128 mph in 9.89 sec. Nice record, isn't it ?

The engine and pipes are taken from a Hot Wheels.

niiice!

Thought about adding decals to it?

Yep but I don't know which one I could use to ?

Something in white, to see easily on blue painted body. Or maybe a white pen if I could find it here.
