Alan Moffat 1969 Boss Trans Am Mustang

[Dave B]

This is my take/tribute to the Kar Kraft/Bud Moore Engineering '69 Mustang gifted to Canadian Allan Moffat to race in the Australian Touring Car Championships.  It has a race record of around 100 wins from  153 starts but failed to win the ATCC.  to me it is the most revered Mustang in Oz and I was lucky enough to see it race back in the day. The build took a little longer than expected due to the mods required.

2mm pie cut from the radiator support back to the shock towers;

front of body heated with a hair dryer and pulled down to meet inner fender wells and radiator support panel;

guards cut and flared;

dashboard rebuilt and sectioned;

scratch built roll cage;

centre consule removed;

rear quarter windows opened;

photo etched hood pins fitted with spring steel pins in the radiator support panel;

3D printed 12mm and 11mm disc rotors and calipers fitted;

competition seats fitted with belts and  photo etched hardware;

resin Minilites fitted;

and Patto's decals.

Been great fun building it and now on too something with a few less mods!!

Tks for looking.

Great build.  Having built a 70 Boss T/A I can appreciate all the modifications that are needed to turn a street car into a race car.

[Bruce Scully]

A super nice build , well done .

[Pierre Rivard]

It was worth the wait Dave. Beautifully done, I am particularly impressed by the flares which flow seamlessly into the body sides.

Lots of mods needed to transform it to the exact replica of the race car but that's what scale modeling is all about.

Bravo!

[cobraman]
