“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 96 1970 FORD DRAG TEAM PRO STOCK MUSTANG OF ED TERRY

[M W Elky]

This is a combination of basically three kits along with some parts box items. 
AMT MACH WON : body , long block with heads 

AMT 1971 Mustang : intake manifold and carbs , fire extinguisher, console cover , front tires , hood scoop 

Revell Boss 302 : chassis, interior, glass , engine bay, wheel backs , rear tail light panel / valance, back bumper , distributor , fan belt +altenator 

AMT Old Pro Nova : slicks , ladder bars

AMT 1963 Impala : rear wheels 

MPC MALCO GASSER MUSTANG: front engine cover , valve covers , oil pan , coil 

random parts box items include : front wheels,  drive shaft 

scratch built items: headers made from solder and aluminum tubing, side windows from clear sheet styrene , rear spring shackles from styrene square stock 

paint: tamyia ts-26 white three coats it sprays real thin, ts-19 metallic blue, black on the chassis and interior is krylon satin 

decals : the black c strips ford drag team , Ed terry script, small ford logo on door , sohc 427 hood decals are old Fred cady that I’d been saving for some 35 years, however you can order new ones from Jim heller he sells on eBay. Deck lid ford logo Jim heller , left over from my Torino build, small sponsor decals on the quarter panels are slixx from the Hubert Platt set . Other small decals side marker lights etc. are from the Mach won and revell boss 302 

this magazine issue is kinda tough to find for some reason. This was a really fun build as there is a perfect storm of model kits , and the decals out right now to make it happen. I’m going to get started on the Platt match race 69 and 70 pro stock mustangs next . Until next time thanks for looking , and stay tuned I’ve got some really cool stuff coming up ,Mike

Looks great.  Building a similar one is on my long list of Mustangs I hope to get to someday.

You have some cool drag cars.  I am new to this site, and I love the whole Building the Covers theme.
