THE FORD DRAG TEAM 1970 PRO STOCK MUSTANGS

[M W Elky]

I’m gathering parts, decals and ideas I’ve also started working on the body by filing off the MACH 1 rocker trim . I’ll definitely be using the chassis and interior from the revell kit,  cammer from the MACH WON with the pro stock engine parts from the 71 mustang along with the big hood scoop filled down to a sane size . Decals are available from slixx , Platt car , and Jim Heller ,Terry car . The paint will be from Tamyia

Looks like you're off to a good start!

I’ve been chipping away at the terry pro stock mustang. I did some work on the interior tub , I cut out the hood for the carburetor clearance and attached the scoop . I finished filling off the rocker trim along with the mustang emblems . Then sanded the body down to 1500 grit until I feel like it’s ready for paint. I prefer to spray the Tamyia white over bare white plastic with a few thin coats.

I cut the shock towers/ engine bay out of a donor revell 69 mustang and with a little filing it fits the amt body like a glove.

I got the tail light panel rear valance and bumper fitted . With a little carful filling and trimming they fit nicely. I just had to fill in the edges of the valance with a little super glue. All ready for paint.

Kit bashing at its finest, I like where you’re going!

Finished the paint job on the Terry mustang yesterday. I’m very pleased on how it turned out. All ready for window chrome and windows

Windshield and back glass insulation I’ll let this set over night then make and install the side windows. The revell glass fits the AMT body like a glove

Good job. I spliced an AMT 67 Mustang engine bay into my AMT 68 Shelby.

Solder works great for headers. I bends easily, stays where you put it and is even the right color. It was my only option for my 427 SOHC motor in my 67 Mustang drag racer. Are you going to mini tub it too?

I do my headers a little differently. I like to glue the solder into the heads first and then bend them around the chassis once the engine is glued in . No matter how you do it they always come out great

The cammer is a really tight fit in there

I just got the body back from the paint shop. Chassis and interior are done there’s a little work left to do on the cammer.
