1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop

[Hotrod 97]

This one is going to be built with no chassis detail and very little interior detail (kinda like a slammer build).

It's the 2012 release AMT 1:25 scale Hardtop. The kit did have some flashing, but it has plenty of spare parts (mostly drag racing parts).

I'm going to paint it a darker red with a black vinyl top, and swap the kit engine for a 300 from the new Moebius '66 Pickup.

So far, I have the body, chassis, and interior bucket in primer.

if you wanted a more detailed 66 coupe use the GT-350 H chassis and maybe engine. otherwise can't wait to see it

Thanks for the suggestion, Charlie. I had actually planned to do just that, but decided otherwise. This will actually be my first attempt at an engine swap and vinyl top, so I’m going to keep everything else on this build rather simple.

I've noticed sink marks on the trunk on most of the ones I have bought over the years.  Sand down the primer a little to see if you notice it.  I cannot see from the pictures.  Good luck with the build.  It's a pretty basic kit.

It's been a while since I posted any progress on this one, but I have been working on it. I got the I6 engine assembled and ready for paint, got most of the other engine parts painted, got the rims detailed, got the interior and chassis painted to my satisfaction, got the body primed and ready for paint, and I got most of the rest of the parts primed.
