I have an original direct from the kit. Do you want it?

thanks Chuck

Here is a small pic Chuck. The AMT 1971 Mustang is the same basic kit, they just changed a few parts. Mainly hood & scoop, front bumper, grill , left out the front spoiler. The AMT 1971 kit Blue & slver car on box, was made from the MPC tool. The AMT 1973 Mustang , yellow car on box was AMT`s tooling. I would like to see someone cast the parts to turn the 71 kit back to the Minuteman . That would be hood & scoop, front spoiler, grill & front bumper. The later AMT 71 Mustang has the body color moulded in style front bumper

My hood doesnt look anything like that. I'll dig it out for pics.

I`m interested to see what hood you have Draggon. The original instruction sheet shows the hood in the pic I posted. I always like to see differant parts from the old kits.

Do you have the decals?  The hood is available from Southern Motorsports Hobbies.

Not familiar w/ the Minuteman version, but the '80s MPC release of their '71/73 Mustang (white on the box w/ blue stripes) has a hood scoop that kind of looks like a taller, narrower '69/70 Boss 429 scoop...I can't remember if the later blue & silver release of the MPC kit still has that part...

Here is the hood.  I am on the hunt for the traction bars and drag chute.
