B1G's Tribute 07 Mustang GT
Hi all,
So I haven't done much in the way of public stuff with XMODs since my Nissan Gazelle, I put a lot of time in it and was happy with how well it was received but my time and energy was being focused more on my job, my pending marriage and my car but never fear because B1G always has a backup plan! So I've pulled some of my old rides out of the closet and start to do some work on them... In this thread I want to focus on my tribute Mustang and I'm sure your all going to be asking what its a tribute to so I'll answer that now It's a tribute to my 1:1 car although at this rate the 1:1 will be a tribute to the XMOD as its far easier to modify the XMOD than it is the 1:1.... I know that a few people have seen this before but just to refresh everyone's memories its an XMOD Mustang GT with a mishmash set of body kit pieces that when I originally put the car together was how I wanted my 1:1 to look, its painted in a light blue which not entirely but kind of resembles my the Windveil blue of my car.... Here are a few teaser shots: As you can see it has the following modifications: * Custom paint * Thick matte black center stripe. * PJ Tribute side stripes * Slammed black rims The chassis is bone stock for the moment, my next job will be to get it driveable as the rear wheel arches need some sanding in order for the wheels to turn. As usual my apologies for the lousy photos! I'm waiting for my camera to charge so took these on the phone, hopefully they give you the general idea.... Comments as always are welcome.

very nice man, i like how it's kinda modeled after your 1:1 with the color and stripe. it looks great with the black rims, although they're a little big, they work perfectly with the black stripes on the car
i'm going to be doing 2 similar projects soon, one 350z and one stang based off my roommates 1:1 cars, i'm hoping to be getting the bodies i need soon so i can start a thread on them

Yeah wheels are a little big but I've seen a few rolling Mustangs on 22's
I had got the Barricade rims on it so maybe I'll go back to them and lower the car... Looking forward to seeing your projects.....

Color looks good at both small and large scales. Cool replica.

i think this blue is a little more appealing that the you 1:1, but i rather have a real stang than an xmod so... |

just making sure
the saleen PJ remake had the boss stripes and his original 70 boss 302 had them 07 70 (hard to see but their there) dont know who told you they were PJ stripes (unless you made it up) but they were wrong just wanted to point that out

It looks pretty nice!!! But you should have painted or got the hole hood scoop painted black, instead of having just the strip over it. Good job.

Well I want to thank you all for your comments but I'm happy with how the car is turning out, it may not be real enough for you but its how I imagine my car looking and at the end of the day that's all that matters, I'm going to do a few more touch ups over the weekend so will try and post some better photos when done.....
More photos: Hood scope is still work in progress - I managed to chip the paint and don't have any to cover it up with so I'm trying to come up with something unique.

If you read above you'll see that I said that I chipped the hood and didn't have any paint to cover it with so as of yet I haven't figured out what to do witht he scoop.....
