MUSTANG GTA 1967

 At this time Frank would to refresh and improve an old project of his previous done: Ford Mustang alredy done in bad results.(in the previous post).

 He have used an new instruments to his hands,aluminium sheet for all trim,and then,he have lift up the rear axle for give more sinuosity and lightly at the car.
he have leave the" wire wheels" on the axis,although he had thought to change with another kind...


 He have used an new instruments to his hands,aluminium sheet for all trim: glasses frame,interior and trim on the body...

the car it is remained with his color but now Frank have added a single silver stripe on all car lenght (polypropilene ribbon used usually for graphics work ).




 the rear glass now is obscured,with a really sheet for glass cars

 the grille has now with two headlamps like Shelby look

 the interior was totally replaced tan color not so usually to see in reality,it was  with a new steering wheel,handmade (oversized in originally diecast),safety belts with grip on the roof,all trim in aluminium,carpet,and floor mats tone on tone.

For calling this Mustang GTA you can see the shifter (handmade in lead) on the console.

at this time Frank it's more happy,for this restoration,also if the car by Maisto it's not so good,but he think to have done a good work althought...the improving should be with another Mustang car!

CHEVROLET 3100 half ton 1950

At this time Frank has prepared another Chevy classics from 50's,it's ready to run but he have loaded on a trailer for a visit in the north to some his friends,North Dakota for precision one of preferred Frank's country!

 

 it's not the first one that he have  restored...but this is for himself... a pick up may  be ever useful!!!

 now observing the truck we can say it's almost new...sorry without almost...the liberty that Frank have taken for painting this Chevy ,it's change of the color chip,now  taken from a 54' color chart: "Skyline blue"

 Frank seemed a good idea to present this chevy in the snow to get a good photo dynamic, contrast, white blue board is minimal ..

 the fog headlights like  vintage...but it's allowed he thought....it's yet functional

 some particulars,like the sticker on the windshield,and the b/w pics give more idea for the passed time,on this sheet...

 interior simple and clear,only the floor mat was added...

another blast from the past with this photo...

your enjoy
Frank

Under the hood beats the original 396 Turbo Jet with a 375 hp 4-speed transmission  ...

Sotto il cofano pulsa l’originale di un 396 Turbo Jet con 375 hp con trasmissione a 4 rapporti…

 

 Our Frank wanted to give a light touch "custom" with a style not too showy but "class" and vintage interiors cleverly set " like exit from the  factory", now have  the touch of a bi-tone colors, the seats in simil leather material are now red and black , very warm and slightly evil!

Il nostro Frank ha voluto dare un  leggero tocco "custom " con stile, gli interni non troppo appariscenti, ma "di classe" e vintage, sapientemente riportati allo splendore di fabbrica, ora hanno il tocco in colore bi-tono, i sedili in materiale sky sono diventati rossi e nero, molto caldo e un po diabolici!

 the back view with the special grille prepared for the z-16 version give at this Malibu a real sporty look...

 la vista posteriore, con la griglia di speciali preparati per la versione di z-16 Malibu dare a questo un vero e proprio look sportivo ...

Frank for Chevy Performance!
