Mr. Metallic Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Very nice restoration. I too wish they would reissue one of the 4 versions of this kit. Fingers still crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Super nice resto, and your higher rear ride height with larger rear tires that stick out just a bit further than those on the real car do wonders for the stance. I always thought that the 1:1 looked a bit too much like a tail dragger with those radiused rear wheel wells and stock fronts, but yours brings it all together and makes it work. A++.

Ron Hamilton Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 As I wrote earlier, that is one nice build of that car. Last year, I made several attempts to get a buildable Mach 1, as it was one of my grails, but the pricing of the acceptable kits and restorable models were out of reach pricewise for me, So I am going to convert the un-built "Iron Horse" variant of this tool that I have to as close to a "Mach 1 as I can get. It wont have the script on the rear quarters, but I have a couple of sets of Appliance "Apache" mags, and I can move the fuel fillers from the deck to the sail panels. I even think that I can fake the side windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tip re the hood..if you have a 67/68 annual hood in your stash, it's the very same part used on the Mach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I know where I can get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
