looks like a good kit as long as the big hood scoop is separate Ford used the chrome bumper up until 1972 then due to federal safety mandates all 73 Mustangs had the composite bumpers

interesting, looks like they are big on GM cars

I have a AMT PK 4167 73 Mach I with a bent top and no motor. I just bought it for parts it has the correct grill.if you end up needing one and it will fit what ever you buy let me know and you can have it

The location of the turn front turn signals is wrong on the AMT/ERTL '71 Boss 351 Mustang kit. The MPC Boss 1971 also has the wrong lights. It maybe not be to hard to relocate them to the proper spot Do want Mach or a standard version ? I had a 73 hardtop red with black vinyl top back in the day but it had a six in it.

I always wanted to build a Chevy and put a Ford motor in it

for those that know the Pinto's history

I go some "Days of Thunder" I would like to find a home for LOL

Hall: well forgive me for being so inquisitive; but during the past few weeks, I've wondered whether you might be having some second thoughts about the mission Dave: no not at all

I shiver at the thought of the road rash you could get

I second the getting tips and how tos from this site before you go out and buy much. I know you are just itching to jump right in but if you take it slowly and and think about not only what you are doing but what will be the next steps and how the task at hand will effect it. I am 63yrs old and have been in and out of this hobby a few times and in the short time I have been here I have learned a lot. Don't be discouraged by your work not looking as good as someone else . You are building for your enjoyment not theirs. I don't care how good you are someone out there will do better. Welcome to the hobby and don't be afraid to ask quesions Jon (nice choice on the kit, you can never go wrong with a Shelby)

closed system. maybe a "run It" and shut it down scenario ?

It could be worse

Old School Cool I like it maybe a future project with a 4cy flatty or maybe a straightened slant six

It was most likely easier to tilt the main body than the entire car. the front needed to lift to make room for the rest.IMHO

As a Big Petty fan and a owner of a 1:1 66 Barracuda I have thought about doing this build. After researching the car I found out that on it's last run it veered off the track and killed a 8yr old boy and injured 8 spectators. Richard Petty was very distraught and gave up drag racing for that and because NASCAR had gave in. This accident was a dark moment in Richards life and I read somewhere that he did not like to even talk about it. So out of personal respect I will not be doing this build. I know others feel differently about and I am not trying to discourage them in building it. This is just my personal choice.

no barcode and price on the end do believe it is a original Thanks for the help Jon

I was thinking that the reissue was also in a smaller box than the standard models. It has the $1.49 printed directly on the box and the box has the printed artwork paper attached to the box

no dates on box,instructions or decal sheet. only the Troy Mi address on the back of the decal sheet The decals look old and are curled and the instructions look bit yellowed on the outside. My wife found it at Goodwill store some years back but I am not sure if it was before the reissue was released (2008?)

I have what I believe is a original AMT no 232 32 Ford V-8 kit box with some of the left over parts inside. I know there was a reissue of this kit. At a model show and swap meet one of the fellows told me that a few people had tried to sell the reissue as being an original kit . Is there anyway to tell for sure one way or another?

I wouldn't cal my 66 Barracuda "vintage" , "classic yes but not vintage Maybe I missed it but did not see one for Pony Car http://vonskip.com/hotroddictionary.html http://www.rodauthority.com/news/hot-rod-lingo-getting-a-grip-on-the-rodding-lifestyle/ a couple more

Nice , I definitely like it better than the new 1:1 Camaros

looking good

when I was painting motorcycle tanks,after I laid down the tape or stencil I would put down a light coat of the base paint or clear then spray the top color.this would help prevent bleed thru on the tape edges.I haven't tried this on a model yet but thought I would mention it

Round 2 shows that kit to be released in May thought about it for a future Hearse project but want the option of buying it my choice no "Model of the month" club for me
