James you would be right in saying most would not pay for good detail ! but I sure would.

 

I would even take a decal to put on the center cap !

Me too

My LHS got them and sold out the same day! Now I have to wait for the next batch to show up

Ford used Holley model 4160 carbs with vacuum secondaries and no choke on the FE race engines with dual carbs, the carbs are turned backwards so the distributor will fit because if you turn them the normal way the float bowl on the front carb will interfere with the distributor cap.
So these carburetors will work nicely for your build.

Otherwise you can use the carburetors from the AMT 1960 Starliner Custom or 2 'n 1 kits, they looks pretty good too.

For the Injection manifold you could use one from the AMT Street Freak Mustang or similar and use aluminum tubes.

Thank you very much for this most appreciated information.

The carbs in the kit look pretty good they have detail if you leave the aircleaners off.  They reminded me a lot of the Starliner carbs when I first saw them.

Are the hoods interchangeable between 64 and 65  models .?

And Yes I know the hood is molded shut on the 64

[afx]

'65 hood is on the left, a '64 hood I cut from a glue bomb is on the right.  The '64 hood is both shorter and more narrow than the '65.

Jardine Headers is misspelled on the decal sheet.........

Probably to avoid having to pay a royalty...

[boss 302 mustang]

maybe, but it's annoying, like the "Muldoon" instead of Milodon on the Slixx KS Pittman sheet or the "Stahl-Muffler" instead of Stahl-Moroso on a Slixx nostalgia drag sheet

typo

[Chuck Kourouklis]

Hack the "arms" off that "E", though, and you have your "I"...

[Dr. Trevorkian]

The restored car and period photos have it spelled  "incorrectly."

Secondary market opportunity?

MAN, there are maybe what, half the trees that carry over from the street version?

Unfortunately, the firewall is one of those carry-over parts.  But the chassis is new (or at least it has a new front insert with a more radically raised set of integrated lower suspension arms), engine's new, 30% of the interior's new, and so is the body shell, which has had its chrome moldings removed and the rear wheel arches teased a bit for the larger tires.  I'd put this kit at a pretty conservative 60% distinct from the stock version.

I think Jerry Jardine would be disputing that spelling......

['70 Grande]

Or Jerry Jardine's law firm is the reason for the different spelling. 

[Brett Barrow]

Think it's more likely the painter goofed and nobody noticed (or cared) for 50 years.

At a guess I would say one of Ohio George's models ether the Willys or Mustang gasser

The blower scoop looks like a Steve Perry/Calnaga Castings part, and I know Steve spent a lot of time doing a more accurate master for the SOHC valve covers, so maybe that is a Calnaga part as well....???   TIM

Tim I think you are correct. Do you know if Steve is going to start selling his parts again?
