MsDano85gt Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 one will be a "black cat" the other a "crimson " cat another is a V-8 "RS" capri, another will be a turbo 2.3 rs box stock for most part and i will have another body that will be painted white for a "white lightning" capri i will find the magazine pic i have and snap a photo of that too! chassis has had molded in muffler removed and molded in exhaust tailpipe will find chassi pan that has been filled in with styrene and get a pic of that one too ( this is for v-8 purpose) the root beer brown "RS" v8 has had the roof modified to a t top (used a t bar from mpc mustang kits) thats also where the "RS" looking front facia was from as well mpc mustang kits
Custom Mike Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 So you're the reason I can't find this kit! I had a Blue '80 RS with a 5.0 in it, and found one kit (A buddy from Germany sent it to me) and had to get the missing parts from a '79 Mustang kit. This kit is not the easiest to find, how'd you get so many of it?
MsDano85gt Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) checking ebay weekly searching for "capri rs" model kit, or just mercury capri model kits, got lucky and never paid more than 20$ for any of them, on was already built up i'm going to rebuild..... these kits are too simple, yet with just a few parts from the mpc model mustang kits you can make one radical cat! MEOW! you are right the capri kitss are pretty hard to get just keep trying on e-bayI did have a spare, but I traded it off for 2 kits here on mcm it was veiwed as rare enough for a 2-for 1 trade lolthe mustang kits are the same "capri" body with the flares all you need to do is search for the capri front and rear clips, there was a black custom mustang on the boxart that was a mishmosh of all these kits it had the capri tail lights/ rear, it had the mclaren looking front end, custom hood, that one is pretty hard to get as well would make a good canidate to try and start maming a capri fromif it gets to be too long before starting that "white lightning version i may see what you have to trade lol Edited April 9, 2014 by MsDano85gt
slusher Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I am not looking for any but I agree with Mike, rarely see any ...
MsDano85gt Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 Like mentioned I would run pretty much run a search on flea bay 1-2 times a week like clockwork I got waaayy outbid on many of them, but i got fortunate with a few had almost 7 at one time 6 and a parts car now i'm down to 5
