This is why.

Cannot wait to see it loaded up with the three coupes.

Based on the AMT kit but instead of using the 289 I plan to use a big block.

I destroyed an expensive Danbury Mint diecast just for parts so anything is fair game.

Just realized I need to add the F O R D letters on the hood and maybe some more black in the side scoops.

Still no engine yet (maybe 69 Mach1 428) but the exterior is pretty much done. I went back to using the crappy 66 Mustang chassis as the later 67GT350 tire track was too wide.

I just bought a brand new complete Monogram Boss 302 for $10. The original price tag was $9.50. I would not pay more than $7 or $8 for an incomplete kit.

Front and back

MPC kit. Testors one coat color. Lovely avocado green interior. No engine yet - maybe a real 351 Cleveland from my blue oval engine stash.

If much improved kits (say a real Boss 351 or 71/73 Mach1) was done I would gladly sell most of the incorrect AMT and MPC kits I have collected over the years. Since there is about a 2% chance of that happening I will turn those deficient kits into something resembling the real thing. My definition is nostalgia is holding on to old stuff because something better has not come along.

I got this far on this idea.

You could always try to kit bash the MPC Mark IV engine into a Fujumi Mark II with some chassis mods.

Too bad the list did not have a much improved 71/72 Mustang fastback and in my dreams a convertible.

yeah I got there ten minutes before 9am and got in ten minutes after nine. Someone tell me again why people get there at 6:30 to stand outside in cold damp weather to get in 20 minutes before I did. Aside from parking closer that is the ONLY reason I can figure out. It's surely not to get an early bird door prize or a deal on a $150 kit that is 75% off LOL. I do not get it - some one chime in that gets there 2.5 hours before the doors open and explain your reasoning.

Not a happy day. God rest her soul.

I wonder what the list will look like in 20 years. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru?

Cool JC. Look forward to this and the TA Cougar.

Yea - four votes for a Cobra Daytona coupe. Payback for that Aprils fool joke.

At 3pm most of the door prizes had not been claimed. Maybe it is time to consider another method.

Leaving in six hours for a 9am arrival. I do not do lines.

I remember the headers and side pipes did not line up perfectly.

Looks that way (airbrush friendly) per the video but you are have to use all the paint or pour the excess back into a pen.

Welcome. Come to a MAMA meeting in Greenbelt sometime. We have a great group of builders.

Nobody would have outrun the cops if they had Boss 429's :-). Very nice build.
