Does anyone make a flat hood for the AMT or MPC 71-73 Mustangs? I scored a 71 at Hobby Lobby today, but what I have in mind requires a flat hood. I haven't had any luck. Anyone know of a kit or resin version without cutting a funny car body up?

About 20 years ago I cut out the hood from a Johan funny car and Norm fro R&MofMD made some copies for me and a few others for the AMT/MPC kits which I used to make a sprint and Eleanor.  As for the Revell kit you may have to wait until the 73 Eleanor version that I assume is going to happen.  Perhaps one of the 3D aftermarket companies can make one.  I’ve already bought one of the wide body kits for the Revell Boss/Mach1 kits so printing the flat hood should be pretty easy.  The only other source for the hood I know about is when Motor City Resin Casters had a coupe conversion kit but they are off of business.  Perhaps Gerry Chevailer will make a flat hood but he is focused more on the far superior Revell Mach1/Boss kits instead of the 50 year old AMT/MPC kits.
