hello to all, just minutes ago the mail delivered my amt mustang gt funny car awb . a nice, crisp issue in my opinion. has the blue streak slicks, lovely mid-blue tinted glass, and clear also, decent quality chrome rack, and a killer original issue decal sheet. we all know that this kit has been out several times prior, however I have never had one, and always liked this box art and decal sheet best of all. glad I waited this one out. anyhow, the only downside I see is that the original header collectors that I think only appeared in the original 1968 and 69 issue boxes, are, of course, not present. the clear red tail lights and early issue bezels are long gone as well, even though the instruction sheet shows them, as the original sheet does. the kit is carefully packed, and includes that neat little fold it yourself mini box like other round 2 kits have as well. I will try to talk my robinlynn to snap a few photos later tonite when she gets in. stay tuned, drag race builders and mustang lovers...............the ace.........ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE KIT will be answered most gladly...........

very nice build, ray. like the blue open wheels, and that nasty rat nestled in the go department......great work from your workbench, as always....a.c. the ace...............................

heres one you'll just love.......back in the winter of 1976 I was building an mpc mopar missle duster that a good friend had given me for xmas '75,...and, i used to build models on the large window sill looking out my bedroom window. I lived with my mom at that time, and at 20 years old was eager to build , build, build....you get the drift. I had several,..and still do have,... neat t shirts as most of us car and drag freaks always do,..an absolute favorite being my nearly new, rarely worn, mr. gasket one that sported that early art of the mid 60s with mr. gasket being the guy with eyes and such rolling on slicks. both my mom and my precious girlfriend who became my wife in 1982,,both have passed away since,..hard to tell this story,...but, both mentioned to me that maybe a good idea would be to change shirts while building. well, mr. know - it - all here said, don't worry, I'll be careful. well, the testors black spray can applied the nite prior was dry, so, it was decal time, right.....wrong, a couple of small edges needed a quick touch up. opened the testors gloss black bottle , dipped the detail brush in just a little, so I could make my car PERFECT,,,and instead PERFECTLY dumped the whole bottle on my chest, gut, and all over the near complete duster body. I think mom cut around mr. gasket and used the unpainted white areas to polish furniture later on.........
