Immortal Chips Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hi all, I recently completed a replica Hubert Platt “ Georgia Shaker “ 427 SOHC 69 Mustang match racer. These were originally built by Holman-Moody-Stroppe in preparation for a new Pro Stock class which was to begin in 1970. They had started with R-code Cobra Jets, welding a cover over the side scoop making it easier to convert the cars to 1970 models. Hubert only ran this configuration with the 427 SOHC for less than 3 months before it underwent its transformation for the 1970 race season by swapping the front end from the 69 to a 70 and a different paint scheme. I started with the revell Boss 302 finished in Tamiya Racing Blue, Decals by Slixx sitting on torq thrust wheels. Thanks for looking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn97 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 There’s nothing I don’t like about this build Nick. The subject, the paint work, the foiling, decals, that well-detailed big SOHC, Torque Thrust Mags, just an all around beautiful model! Would love to see a photo of the underside if you have one to post. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Very sharp, very clean build of a beautiful car! I've been wanting to build a model of its stablemate, Mickey Thompson's Boss 429, for decades and you are inspiring me to get to it. Well done and model on!

Bills72sj Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Very nice build. I need to finish up my Mustang drag racer one of these days. Been very distracted lately with my 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris chabre Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) looks AWESOME! I got to meet and speak with Hubert numerous times and he was always awesome to speak with. His son Allen races a tribute Falcon with SEGA, and his nephew (Rocky Platt) drives a tribute Nova Huberts brother raced Edited July 28, 2021 by chris chabre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 That is a very beautiful Mustang (is that a redundant statement?). Excellent overall appearance. Where did you get the SOHC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hi Nick! Super clean car, the paint is glass smooth, bravo! I'm impressesd by the gold leaf effect in the decals: they really look the part! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Very nice!! An excellent build of one of my very favourites. Smooth, clean work all around. I had searched for decals to do one of these builds a few years ago, but could find nothing. If Slixx has them now, I'll be ordering up a couple sets.
