Wow , looks like my wife's car , she had a 70 Mach 1 , in that color , traded it for a silver\with a black vinyl top 72 SS Chevelle . Guess that's what attracted me to her , being a car nut too .

I am building the John Wick Mustang for something special and cannot share much but I did use the front clip from the 302 as well. Definitely makes a big difference. Take your time lining up that front clip, it doesn't really match up as well as it should....

Thank you very much for the heads-up, Marcos!

Made some more progress today. I got the engine re-primed (I had painted it but stripped the paint off since it didn't come out too good), the exhaust tips and fan painted, and I brushed some Pledge Revive It on the seats to give them a "polished" leather look.

 

 

Before Pledge Revive It:

 

After Pledge Revive It:

[Hotrod 97]

Got half of the interior detailed, started detailing the chassis, got the dash painted, and got some more parts sanded and ready for primer.

 

[Hotrod 97]

Got the interior coated with Pledge, the engine painted, dash coated with Pledge, and got the rest of the parts de-sprued and sanded. All the interior needs is the steering wheel and shifter, and then it'll be done.

 

[Hotrod 97]

Got almost all the parts in primer, the engine parts (minus the belts and pulleys) painted, the transmission painted, and I started assembly on the interior.

Looking good! ☺️?

That interior tub reminds me of the one in the Revell '69 Shelby GT-500 kit..... And the chassis also.... ☺️

Thanks, Guido! Interestingly, I have a Revell ‘69 Shelby that I’m going to restore after I get this one Under Glass.

As Charlie said, the Mach 1 and Shelby kits are pretty similar minus the body.

Got the engine and interior done. I'll put the air filter on closer to final assembly.

Next step: start painting the body.

Thank you! I'm going to paint it Testors Arctic Blue Metallic. It should look something like this.

Depending on the base coat it may be lighter.  I always thought it was a little odd Ford choose black decals on a dark blue car.

Yet again, this build is going slowly, but surely. I got some more parts primed, and finally got around to modifying the Boss 302 hood. Hopefully I can get to painting the body this weekend.

I (very lightly) glued the mirrors to a piece of flat sprue to keep them in place while I prime and paint them.

 

The gray primed hood is the modified Boss 302 hood, the bare plastic hood is from the original kit.

Coming together nice. The interior and its details looks fantastic.

Looking forward to more.

Thank you very much! I hope to have another update over the weekend.

[Hotrod 97]

I finally got around to getting the body painted. The color is Testors Arctic Blue Metallic over gray primer. Next step is to finish up painting the rest of the parts.

 

[drifterdon]

Nice!   Love this color.

I see you used a clear plastic spoon to inspect the paint.... I plan on doing the same.... ??

[Hotrod 97]

This build's been going slowly, but surely. Since the last update I got the gloss black on the hood painted, the engine set on the chassis, and most of the other parts painted and detailed. I also decided that I want to redo the interior, this time using decals from the Boss 302 kit for the woodgrain, so I stripped the paint off and got it reprimed.

It appears that I can only post one picture at a time right now, so here are the rest of the pics.
