1966 Mustang G.T. 350 Hertz

[Ron Duke]

Thanks everybody for your kind comments and suggestions.

Ron I'm going to be picky for you on this one because it's so damn good and I'm an old Mustang owner. The highlight area on the top of each wheel well should extend a little further down the fenders. They had a fairly prominent flare. The highlight that runs between the front fender and rear quarter panel should be a single colour grade. These Mustangs just had a subtle line running down the side. I hope you don't mind me pointing that out. I found this pic to help.

Thanks Gray,
I agree with your assessement of the wheel wells. I think extending down the fender looks a little better, so I've done that slightly.

Light is a tricky thing. I've posted some photos off the internet to show what lighting can do to a subtle bend, crease or slope in the shape of an automobile body. Notice in the 3 photo examples the differences in the side panel lighting (or lack thereof) and the wheel fenders as a result of the light angle/direction. Interesting how in the one picture the side panel indentation is not even apparent. The quarter panel shows a slight reflection of the ground, not a color change. In fact, if you look closely, the reflection extends the length of the car, not just the quarter panel.

I think you got the wheel wells perfect there Ron.
Mustangs have that indent down the side that runs from the headlight to the top of the scoop and from the bottom of the scoop back to the front fender. They reflect light in wierd ways depending on the source. Light reflections drive me to despair at times. I think this is one of your best Ron, it looks superb.
Here's a pic of my old Mustang I owned for so many years.

Cool! Is that a '67, '68 or '69?

Nice photo Gray. I bet you miss that Mustang.

It's a 68 Ron. It had some strange factory options. It came from the factory with the Shelby interior and overhead console, 289 four barrel with high performance heads, deluxe body trim and standard steering and brakes. It must have been the end of the 67 run because they seemed to empty whatever parts they had into it.

Bruce, it was like selling an old friend after owning it 34 years.

Very nice 3/4 view Ron. How many views are you showing of this classic?

Ron... you are truly a wizard. Man, that's the style I wish they'd bring back. I think most people feel that way about cars these days... "bring back the style"
They're slowly catching on.. the newer camaros look pretty nice. I mainly wish they'd bring back the style of the old 1950 chevy pick-ups, etc.
Anyway... amazing work Ron
