1970 Mustang Mach1

[Mercuryman54]

I built this Mach1 using the original issue (1970 annual) AMT kit body, grille, bumpers and simulated mag wheel covers. The frame, drivetrain and interior came from the Revell 1969 Mustang Super Cobra Jet kit. Painted with 1970 Ford code red paint. Fred Cady decals. It took quite a bit of fitting and shaving between the old and the new. Enjoy and thanks for looking. And for Harry all the Mustangs I have posted have the mirrors pinned as they are fragile to attach otherwise.

Another nice one Dennis, I to learned the hard way, always pin the mirrors LOL. Mustangs are great and you did every one of these builds justice. I commend you.

Very nice, always loved this color, and the car, of course.

Since Revell and Monogram got the front ends so wrong on their '69 and '70 Mustangs, and AMT and MPC did so much better (but still got the grilles wrong); but AMT and MPC got the chassis and engine compartment so wrong, it's good that you used the Revell chassis and the AMT body shell. It makes the model come out much better that way.

I bought the AMT kit when it was new. I was around 13 years old, I'm 60 now. Some how it survived. Multiple layers of paint and not getting the firecracker and fireball treatment!! Ha Ha. My original 1969 AMT Mustang did not !!

Many of mine from back then suffered the same fate .  Great model!

This is very nicely done,. Only of my childhood favorite body styles.

Looks ready to hit the highway!

Top build. I like the subtle underhood weathering.

Great project, nothing beats the original AMT body for correctness (and rarity) and the combination of that and the better chassis and drivetrain really comes together well.

I've got two more of the original AMT Mach1's and the Revell 1970 Mach1 to build at some point.

Looks real good Dennis couple of the shots could cause someone to question weather it is real or not.  Just drill out the Exhaust tips.
