Testors Boss Mustang

This was built up from a Testors diecast kit with a few mods. Including adding Revell-Monogram Nascar Thunderbird engine bits, wires and hoses.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice work indeed! I almost bought one of these kits not long ago. I'm not a fan of this generation of Mustang but thought this might be the best scale representation of it available today. Your nice build confirms my suspicion. Nicely done!

Rich, I always felt the same way about the '71-73s. A few years ago I bought a re-issued AMT Boss 351 kit and noticed that it looked kinda off.

Then I started seeing these on EBAY, first buying a '71 black and silver Mach 1. I liked it so much I looked for this Boss. Couple of things I forgot to mention are the magnums are pilfered from a Monogram Shelby kit and tail pipes are aluminum tubing. Need to try to get some engine compartment pics. Also the front bumper should probably be chrome???

This is what the kit wheels looked like

Very nice. If I recall correctly, the front bumper should be body color.

Mach 1 had a body-colored bumper, the Boss 351 should have a chrome standard bumper, IIRC.

Hey Pat and Steve, that is what I was seeing when I did an Google image search was Machs had body color, Bosses chrome.

Thanks for looking Guys.

Beautiful car!

Also, the Boss did not have the honeycomb panel between the taillights.
