Cherry 2000 (Movie)

[aussie muscle]

This movie from 1987 is a bit forgetable with it's story about robot wives that only have spare parts in the middle of a deserted forbidden zone, but the Mustang that Melanie Griffith's character drives is quite distinct. I had a AMT 65 mustang hardtop in my junk pile, so i decided to use it to make this car. At some point it's roof had been cut off and had been glued back on, so it's a bit of a junker. it was already red, so i didn't bother to repaint it. i just added the black 'burn' to the front half and the stripe across the top. i also scratchbuilt the front and rear 'bumpers' complete with winch. I also added the big tires (from the amt 73 mustang kit) which meant i needed to raise it up. rather than rebuild the chassis (which is all molded in one part) i simply added spacers to raise the body away from the chassis. i also sprayed some 'dust' across the rear. to do, i just need to finish up the weathering and photo it outside.

Another great build from the AM Movie car museum.

I am a bit concerned though about some of your viewing choices.

Having said that I watched The Gumball Rally on the wweekend and can't stop thinking about the Acme Plumbing van with the 200 gallon tank.
