Revell - '69 Mustang Restomod - Prepping the Body

[@modelbuildingcorner]

Great video Justin. It's guys like you that show the community not to let things scare you. I've always felt intimidated to attempt such mods. Or even simple mold repairs. Your approach on how to like Franksmodelworks let's guys see it's not so intimidating after all. I appreciate you buddy.

Thanks Joe. That's one of the big points of the channel. I'm figuring things out as I go a lot of the time, so I try to share as much as I can learn. And at the same time it's kind of an "If I can do it you can too! It doesn't have to be (quite 😂) that terrifying. Hearing it's helpful is a really good feeling. Have a great weekend!

Nice job Justin 👍 that putty blended right in! Smooth like butter 🧈!!

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks. I really like the polyester putty because it sands so smooth, and because unlike the lacquer based putty, this stuff doesn't shrink when you paint it. So you don't end up with that odd line along the edge of the putty.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

@@JHartModelworksI’m always learning something new watching you build! I’ll have to try some polyester putty next time 👍

[@LarrysModelShop]

Awesome video on this subject. I really appreciate all that you show when you do these. Yes, I will sit and watch the entire video as it helps me learn more on how you do things. I'm always up for one of your teaching videos Justin. Thanks!! This build is already looking amazing.

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks Larry! I appreciate it.

Great video Justin, the hood scoop really adds to it to the cars looks..

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks Juan. I saw a similar build on the web and it had a similar oversized hood scoop. I really liked the look. Have a great weekend.

[@markkunikkanen]

I watched it to the end while working on my model car. I think Your build will be awesome when finished 👌

[@JHartModelworks]

Thank you! Have a great week!

Build is looking amazing buddy. It may have been 40 mins but didn’t seem that long. Lots of great info in this video. Keep up the great work.

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks buddy!

[@martindaredare]

Nice work on the mods Justin, 😎👍

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks Tom!

[@markellison1364]

Great video Justin, I watched till the end and it didn't seem like 40 minutes. I really liked the way you made the battery box out of aluminum and that polyester putty is pretty cool. Have a great weekend.

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks Mark. I'm glad it wasn't terribly long and drawn out feeling. Have a great weekend!

Great video,Justin👍😃. Good advice on bodywork, filling and tool use👍😀. It's encouraging me with a Torino project I'm starting. Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓

[@JHartModelworks]

Awesome Pete! Have a great weekend from muggy old Texas 😁

We're still getting April showers😕

[@morriscustommodelshop8345]

Great video Justin. I enjoyed it till the end. I going to get some of that putty.

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks James! I like it because it doesn't shrink when you paint it unlike the lacquer based putties. A buddy that runs a body shop told me 2 part glazing putty is pretty much the same thing without the Tamiya price tag.

[@user-styrenelive505]

Great video brother! This is going to be a badass stang!😊

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks Jamie. Week after next is the body paint. She looks really good! I'm seriously happy with her.

[@user-styrenelive505]

@@JHartModelworks yw brother! Can't wait to see her progress!

[@theoknowscars5418]

good mustang build love the start on the 60mustang that almost looks like the 70's an d late 60's mustang

[@JHartModelworks]

Thanks Theo is a '69. She's been a really good build so far. Paint video should come out in a couple of weeks. Have a great one!

[@pat2068]

Great video, I have this model and plan to also build a restomod. Most of my builds are scratch built and kit bashed of some magnitude, some a lot, some not so much and have added some 3D printed parts that I purchased. Really like your channel and am now a subscriber.

[@JHartModelworks]

Hi! Thanks a lot and welcome to the channel!

[@modelcars2978]

I didn't have to watch for 40 minutes because I watch on 2x speed. Great prep. On a resto mod or race car I'd put the battery in the trunk for better weight distribution.🤓👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Great video,Justin. Good advice for bodywork,filling and use of tools.👍 Thanks for showing its encouraging me to continue with a Torino. Best wishes from jolly old England👍😎 Pete 🤓

[@JHartModelworks]

well since most of the footage is sped up to 1.5 or 2x you are technically watching at quadruple speed lol. Hey cutting down 14 hours of raw footage is hard! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

[@modelcars2978]

@@JHartModelworks I watch almost everything at double speed. I don't want you to think it's just you.🤓👍

[@JHartModelworks]

@@modelcars2978 some of these videos you kinda have to. I do that with the training videos at work. The guy talks so crazy slow that 1.5 speed makes him sound like a normal person. I went on quite a while with this one.
