Morning Roushfan:
If the 1/6 scale is the one I am thinking of, you will pretty much only find them at Radio Shack/KB Toys etc. Not knocking them at all, they are really cool but they are not "Hobby" level RC rigs.
I was at our local Radio Shack yesterday and they must have had 15 different 1/6 scale vehicles. Didn't notice a Mustang, but I was not looking at them to buy, just saw them stacked up on the floor.
If you cannot find what you want already made up, you can make your own out of Plastruct or Evergreen sheets. Make a mold out of balsa wood or plastic foam and bend and cut to fit. I have had some success with this method by soaking the plastic sheet in hot water and forming it around the mold. When it cools it stays pretty much in the shape you bent it to. Another way to do it is get K+S thin aluminum sheet stock and cut and bend it to whatever shape you want. You would have to use CA glue to stick it to the hood (CA is industrial strength Superglue). All of these materiels should be found at any decent Hobby Shop.
Hope that helps. Any other questions, fire away.
