I love the reissues..... I can never have enough 40 fords and getting a chance at kits not seen in years is wonderful. That Mack is on my list for sure. I am sure they will be getting some new stuff out, but til then, I am satisfied with their offerings.
So far I picked up (2) 49 Fords, 57 Ford, 66 Batmobile, Ecto 1, 53 Ford Conv, (2) 76 Torino's, and a 48 Ford. I do not think anybody likes the Revell RX7.... there were a few at each store as of today.
I have an original issue of this and picked up an older Revell 57 (opening doors and trunk) to try and use the interior and frame/floorpan into the MPC... No dice without major surgery so it will be built out of the box although I may remove the side trim.
I see this kit returning in the near future from R2, so I will end up with a few more.
I have always loved this kit and have quite a few in my stash. Saw them on clearance at HL and grabbed another. Saw the Desoto bumper was restored and went to grab the other 2 there... but they were gone......
Great job on the interior. Is the spoiler home made or the resin.
As an FYI, you could have saved a lot of trouble using the AMT body. I started on an AMT, did a bunch of MPC parts swapping to come up with my Shelby II
Looking forward to seeing more of this build.
I doubt we would ever see the Cobra II or Mustang II in stock form from MPC.
The MPC kit was modified into the Pro Stock kit (Dyno Don, Firefighter, Midnight Mustang) The frame would be easy to fix, but not the interior tub.
