AMT 70 Mach1 rescue

[vamach1]

Just picked this built up on Sunday.  It's missing some parts but nothing that I cannot get from the 69 MPC Mustang or elsewhere.  The prices on the unbuilt ones are insane so this seemed like a good way to pick something up I didn't have  I rescued an MPC Mach1 many years ago and made a Twister so this one will probably a 351 with the shaker hood scoop.

Here’s an update 2.5 years later.  Obviously I got sidetracked on other projects but this week I pulled out the 70 Mach1 to figure where to take this one.  I also have a 69 AMT Mach1 to be built and in the pictures is a Palmer 70 Mustang I decided to do a restoration special and lastly when I looked at the Twister Mach1 I built from another AMT glue bomb I will probably do something similar and swap chassis and I already cut of the front and and rear valences so I can paint the body all as one piece.  No telling how long it will take to get this one done but at least I have a plan of sorts.  No shortage of spare parts from 69-70 kits so I should have everything I need although I wish the chrome rear taillight panel and bumper for the 70 were in better condition.
