mtMOClug Posted July 29, 2009 As usual I wasn't totally happy with the official LEGO set. Gee, will I ever stop saying that? My thoughts when I saw the official set was that it was 2 steps short of being a pimped Ford Mustang. So of course, with a few bricks... and a bit of brain bashing... I've pimped my ride - a little more than the Ford factory. Two small details - the Ford version has black mirrors. I tried black, and it looked out of place. So the side mirrors are colour matched to the body. Same deal with the grill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted July 29, 2009 It is a good variation to 8402 but the engine scoop looks too big for the car. The back looks good though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtMOClug Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks prateek. I took your suggestion into consideration and tweaked. The big blower on the first version posted was meant to be a little humourous... maybe it would have been more suited to a Camaro. Besides, who really needs a 700 hp motor in their LEGO car anyway? Here's a couple more versions... with the black trim too. I'm on the fence about the black trim, since I like the colour matched bits... your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

prateek Posted August 4, 2009 The grille looks better in black. I like the red tile instead of the blowers. As for the mirrors, I like them red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtMOClug Posted August 4, 2009 And which style of mirrors are most preferred? Antenna base with the clips, or with double-sided studs? I prefer the second - much easier for transport/storage/handling rather than risking losing the antenna bases. Everyone else feel free to jump in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted August 4, 2009 Woah, that was fast. Anyway, for display, I like the first one, but for playing with and stability, I like the second Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtMOClug Posted August 4, 2009 Fast... well... the kids are playing Wii. The last thing I'm considering tweaking are the front indicator lights in the fenders. I'll tweak those too... and post a pic if it's worth it. Once it's done... I'll have to dig up some Cobra stickers... or Shelby... or Prateek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted August 4, 2009 All 3 stickers would be nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
