I've got these three kits in the on-deck circle. I have Googled the 1:1 cars and found all kinds of pictures of engines, interiors, paint colors etc, but I can't seem to come up with any chassis shots that show how parts would appear in brand new or correctly restored condition.

I'm specifically interested in close-ups of a complete front suspension, pics showing basic chassis color (I assume red oxide), subframe rails, rear springs and gas tank. I was surprised that Google let me down on this, and I hope some of you can fill in the blanks for me. Thanks!

Methinks that you could work with underside pics of any stock (or correctly restored) Mustang 1965-72 as a guide, given that neither the platform, suspension, nor assembly plant practices changed very much over those years, in my opinion.

There is a couple trains of thought. Some Mustangs look like they have nothing but chassis black bewteen the pinch welds and others go with the red primer and color over spray. I've seen both...

if you talk to the guys at year one they could probably give you some really got pics because they are the leader in reproduction parts for mustangs and even have a very good restoration service. based on the pics i see in their catalogs i would say they would be the ones to have what your looking for.
