1973 Ford Mustang GT351 RHD

[michelle]

this is a kitbashed model I built from amt 71,73 ford mustang parts and other items from my parts boxes I decided to make it right hand drive and mimic the look of the Australian ford falcon xb gt 351 and a bit of the v8 interceptor from the first mad max movie I did modify the mustang dash to look more like the ford falcon xb dash I also put the master cylinder on the correct side of the engine bay I also modified the grille a bit I painted the body rust-oleum metallic black night metallic

FANTASTIC! This is what Mad Max would have driven if he were American!

Thanks 
Except this is not a American made car due to is being right hand drive 
And only post office vehicles are right hand drive but some are normal suvs or vans that have a jury rigged right hand drive set up with the left hand factory stock set up still there but connected a separate steering wheel on the right and brake and gas pedals that are connected to some set up on the right side 
And there are RHD cars here but they are imported in so someone can have a unique car

I like your version of an MFP Interceptor special and your rhd XB Falcon dash is spot on. As the movie suggests, any performance type vehicle can be used to build an Interceptor special as there were at least two represented in the movie, Max's XB Falcon and the HQ Monaro stolen by the Nightrider. Really well done Michelle. 

Cheers,

Nice job Michelle.  Several years I decided the best thing to do with a Palmer/Testors Mustang kit was to do a Road Warrior version.  I did not make it RHD but that would have not been too difficult.
