Hello fellas,

This is my second Car build. It was a commission build for someone to give as a Christmas gift.

Slightly off topic, for those who are interested my photobucket albums HERE and HERE have pics of a few Aussie Mustangs from recent car shows.

Perhaps once the Chev vs Hemi shenanigans are put to rest a Mustang Group Build might be in order ?

Cheers, D

Hi Gary,
Very nice & glossy. May I know what clear did you use on it?
It'll definitely make a great Christmas gift.
Cheers

Hiya T Lee,

I used X22 Tamiya Clear Gloss. I wound up putting 4 coats on and then waxed and polished....no wet sanding. Its all i had at the time and since im not a regular car builder im sure there are better options for the Gloss, just not sure what they are. However, it did turnout well....just make sure you let it cure several days.

Cheers,
Gary
