Teddy J. Tannehill Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Builders you are probably wondering what all these Fords are doing at Teddy's Hot Rod Shop. Guess I've noticed that I have built a few Fords...Some before I started wiring engines. I really like Mustangs so I am going to try building this 69. This AMT kit gives 3 engine options. Many of the Hot Rod Fords I have build have Small Block Chevys in them. So I figured the Chevy "Parts Getter" Panel Sedan Should get a Ford Cobra Jet. I am also thinking I will use a Ford Chassis on the Sedan Delivery....I will post some pics when I get things mocked up. The Mustang seems pretty cool, I have been looking forward to building one...I will be giving it the "Treatment" maybe more detail for the chassis situation. I do know what color this 69 will be "RED". Edited May 16, 2014 by Teddy J. Tannehill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy J. Tannehill Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thanks Carl always good to hear from you. Hope everything is going well for you. I have cleaned both kits with 409 and a toothbrush, rinsed with water. I have started my body work on the Mach 1. This AMT kit seems pretty nice. I think it is one of those kits that is not long on details in certain areas, for example the front suspension is molded in and rear differential/drive shaft and leaf springs are one unit. Again I think it looks OK once you have it built. Just the same I will probably go to the "Bone Yard" and find a front and rear end I like better. It looks like I am going to have my hands full with the Sedan Delivery, this kit get did not get rave reviews...Still I have been looking forward to building it. My plan is to use the Cobra Jet motor from the Mustang....It has enough optional parts to build 3 different engines. One is stock "I think its a 351" This is the one I am using in the Mach 1. The 3rd option is called a "Resto Rod" motor. The Tran'ys on all these motors seem to cut off at the bell housing. I guess this is because once the motor is installed in the Mustang you cant see it so they omitted the detail. I think I can come up with something to make it look right. Carl thanks for looking and your kind words. I will try to post pics to keep you updated on these projects....I am having a lot of trouble posting photos and I am not sure why. Website keeps giving me the message my files are to large....I have tried setting my digital camera to the lowest resolution, doing a save as to a file using the small web setting. The strange thing is I had no problems until about 3 weeks ago....with the work arounds I could post 1 maybe 2 pics....Now I cant post any.
