1953 Hudson Hornet - Fabulous Twin H - Power! w.i.p.

Okay, so this is going to be a speed build! Laugh     No, not really . . . . .
Not considering this is the third paint job I've done on this, and the first one was on Christmas day. Paint job #1 (Tamiya black) had to be redone 'cause I burnt through the paint while polishing. Number 2 (Krylon Almond over Pistachio) turned out great, but the clear coat cracked in several places. So for lucky #3 I went with Krylon Almond again over Boyd's Pacific Blue. The blue is only available here in enamel flavor, so I vowed I'd wait three weeks exactly 'til I tried to polish it. My natural laziness, or patience as I like to call it paid off, as I shined it up today, polished it with Turtle Wax Ice and it looks pretty darned good!
No clear on the body, just the roof 'cause I used the Krylon satin color. I doubt whether there was any factory color combination like this, but I found a link on that "other" forum to pics of a restored 1:1 that was very similar to what I'm gonna build.

Ford Mustang Convertible by Galpin Auto Sports


California-based tuner Galpin Auto Sports has produced many tuning programs for the Ford Mustang, including past offerings like the Boss 302-X and the Shelby GT500 Super Snake.

Recently, the folks from Galpin took a stab at building their latest wide body kit for the Mustang, the first one to be done on the Mustang Convertible. If the chrome finish on the Mustang isn’t eye-catching - and really, why wouldn’t it be? - Galpin also fitted their latest aero components, including hand-built steel fenders that stretch the width of the car by nine inches, allowing for enough room for the tuner to fit a new set of Forgiato 3-piece wheels with wide Pirelli tires. In addition to that, GAS also added a new Ford Racing suspension system, a Magnaflow quad-tip exhaust system, Wilwood 14" cross-drilled and slotted brakes on the front and rear, and last but certainly not least, a custom Burgundy and Black leather interior.

The one-off Mustang was built by Galpin Auto Sports for a specific customer who knows a thing or two about collecting some fine muscle cars: Thomas duPont, co-founder of the dupont Registry.

As far as we’re concerned, we just hope that Galpin decides to make this program for the Mustang Convertible more than just a novel one-piece.
