1973 Ford Mustang by MPC

[doorsovdoon]

This kit has an extremely basic chassis with no under hood detail. I scratch built some inner fenders and added a few extra parts like heater hoses and shock tower braces. Wheels are from my spares stash and the decals are a mix of chopped up Mercury Cyclone and '68 Mustang. Not a bad kit, this is an original annual from 1973 with some cool extras you won't see again, like a "Street is Neat" belt buckle and a prize entry where you can win a couple of Rupp motorcycles and even a Custom Chevy wagon!

Street is neat.......so is your build. Well done.

Very nice restomod.  I do not think I have seen a real 71-73 Mustang that someone put in the Boss 429 engine but I’m sure it would fit with some minor alterations.

Yeah, I have read the engines are incorrect for the '73. I just put the biggest one of the two that came in the kit, lol.

Turn out to be a very sharp Mustang with your building skill, buddy…

[doorsovdoon]

Thanks guys. Although it has it's inaccuracies and is pretty basic it was an enjoyable build. Will definitely be building the 007 version when I find one.

Nice job; especially nice when you consider what you started with! Cool and unusual color scheme makes this one stand out. Well done.

Gotta love the Michigan 1976 bicentennial license plates on it...?? I have one in my garage somewhere....??

Turned out pretty nice. I like the color. Although a basic kit , it looks great once finished.

Thanks. They're from the MPC '77 Pinto. I don't know how the number plate system works in the U.S. so they're probably not right for this car. They were the only 70's plates I had.. and they look pretty cool. ?
