Saw this picture with the back open.

You cannot have too many Mach1's.

I built that one a long time ago but it ended up breaking apart and it had a bad paint job so I bought another one for about $100 which of course is still in the box. Painting something that large can be a challenge. When I build it I might even consider taking it to an autobody shop.

Uh oh - I can't pass this one up. As I have not built a 73 yet that's what I would probably do.

This insanity should end in a decade as the potential buyers will shall we say not be around much longer. The current Revell, Carerra, etc. slot cars are far superior and a whole heck of a lot cheaper. I understand paying for nostalgia but these prices for slot cars, hard to find models and promos are crazy.

I was thinking the same thing. It is probably possible to modify the AMT hardtop into a convertible and find a 65 grille and dash and make the Revell chassis fit it but that would be a lot of work just to have a 1/25 version. Someone out there has probably done it.

Here are some close ups of the first attempt. I suppose I could modify the 2nd kit to make it more like the MPC version.

Glutton for punishment I guess.

Well, never say never. I could not resist picking up this one for a great price.

That's a Mustang with attitude. Curious about the decal. Is it three 6's upside down or one piece? With this color you might want to use individual letters and numbers to avoid the clear film from being visible. The mesh grille is cool too.

Saw a bunch of photos on Facebook. While I've never built a low rider, the paint work on every one I saw was ridiculously good and replicated something 24 or 25 times larger and makes anything I built up to shame. Just simply amazing as where just about every model seen in the pictures. Check out Marcos Cruz (our Ex MAMA president) Facebook page for pictures or the many other pages he posts pictures.

From Collecting Muscle Car model kits by Tim Boyd. If you do not have this book it is a must have to any car modeler.

Just a suggestion but you may want to change the description of each post. People might think you posted the same thing ten times. While I'm add it perahaps cluster them together more so the viewer can see the details better.

I think that was the case for the MPC kits - the chassis was carried over from 69/70 to 71/73 but I believe this picture is of an AMT chassis which look like it has roots from the 65-68 kits. I could be wrong - this chassis was a glue bomb.

Great job. The body looks pretty stock except for the wheel wells. Good save on the decals.

I have a dumb question. Could you paint almost everything in say four hours, go to sleep for six while evertything dries and wake and up finish the build or do people stay up the entire 24 hours? Just curious.

Very nice. Did you make the plug wire boots?

Welcome back. The GT500 looks amazing. Building takes your mind off of all sorts of things.

Looks very nice. I hope to pick one up soon.

Nice fox.

Is that Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone?

Top notch as always Randy. I' tried the 70 Mach1 interior and got it to fit so when I get around to building it will look a little different.

That is one pretty kitty.

Heck yes - that's a great buy.

427 thumbs up. Very nice.
