looking great again, the colour brings out the shapes! :) good choice on wheels, too. I snatched a box full of 62 mustang castings off ebay, and along with them were 7 of those in various shapes of shabby to near-mint, also the version with the oversized V-8, and 5 of the original boss Mustang, and 6 piston poppers... and a few others. made me think of a sudden mass-restoration Matchbox Mark style. XD

I got a 65 Falcon when I was 15 and my dad and I painted it two weeks before my 16th birthday. It was supposed to be a steel blue but turned out that exact shade of blue-purple so I love it!
@javierdenardo26074 жыл бұрын
I like several things about this car. I believe its inspired in some custom cars of the 70s. The colour you chose is period correct. The wheels are much like on those cars of the time, featured in Hot Rod magazine or Car Craft. You really are reimagining some of these cars better than the manufacturers!
