vamach1 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Taking a break from the GT40's to go back and finish some AMT and MPC Mustang bodies I painted a long time ago. A rim-blow wheel was added and I think the seats were out of another kit. The hood is cut out from the Johan funny car and the decals are from Keith Marks. All the rest of the parts to complete it are in my parts stash. The engine will be a stock 302 or perhaps a modified one from the blue engine spares box to make it look like a 351 Cleveland. The decals were super thin and came off the backing sheet in about five seconds. The red pinstripe just above the grabber blue along the bottom will be tricky as it' a really narrow.

cobraman Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Interesting project. I was working in Chicago when these came out. I was at 63 rd. and Pulaski. The local Ford dealer had a parade of the cars right past our place. Mustangs, Mavericks and Pintos if I remember right. It was pretty cool to see. I will be peaking in.

vamach1 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Getting closer. No engine yet and I may give up on the red trim along the bottom as the decal is very very thin and the blue would not matc the painted grabber blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 As a kid, the first time I saw this body style when they arrived at the dealership was identical to what you are modeling here. I was about nine or ten and was starting to I.D. cars. This left an impression and so does your model. Nice to see you're doing this.

Thanks In a thread maybe a year agio I mentioned the reflective material I was using for a few Mustang models. This sprint has the material on both the front amber and rear red reflectors.

AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Nice project Rex, not a lot of this Mustang body style around! You do have a well garnished engine parts bin sir... hope you will find what you looking for, a 351 Cleveland would be nice under the hood! Good job on the body stripes by the way!
