freakshow12 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I love it. I see you are building a boss 302 for it but the engine pic is of a Windsor based motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know...but that's what I had laying around...any ideas on what kit would have that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I know...but that's what I had laying around...any ideas on what kit would have that??? the revell 1966 Shelby's, the amt 67 mustang but it's a little small. I say run what you are doing. It's wayyyyyy cooler anyway? That boss 302 in the cougar is in my opinion the nicest boss 302 in kit form. Builds up so nice Edited March 7, 2016 by freakshow12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Very nice. I've always liked the gassers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I really like what you've done with the suspension, especially the front axle setup. That Willys part would be my next choice for my '58 if I can't turn up a Dodge A100 (Little Red Wagon) setup; it doesn't have much drop and looks like it could be made steerable without too much scratchbuilding.
