Red face WIP: the one that got away". The story of a `70 Mustang 429 Boss

Have you ever had a kit that haunts you mind? I have; the Ford Mustang 429 Boss. The story: As a teenager i read abou the Boss in a carmagazine. It was the badest,fastest,e.t.c. All the superlatives and the pics of the car amazed me. "-Whoa, what a car .."

Some time later i found a kit of it. It was that car from the magazine!! I asked my mom if i could buy it. I certanly could NOT!! I did anyway
Well, my mother found out,threw the halfbuilt kit as a lesson..
A while ago i saw the Boss again in my LHS. I slowly took the box and walked as in trance to the counter..
Ok, i throw in some pics before you fall

My intention is to build it as the car from the magazine i read as a teenager.It (must have been) was Grabber Blue, and was stock,apart from some really 70īs magwheels.


Mustang purist may look away here, since the engine is NOT Ford Engine Blue, the intake manifold is painted aluminum and NOT as the block e.t.c. And i who downloaded all those enginepics


This is one of the best achievments on this kit so far, just look at that handpainted woodgrain!! Humbrols Sand and tinted with Hīs flat red. Just gorgeous,wouldnīt you say?


Interior is painted in black. The seatīs satin black is tinted with some aluminum paint for a different hue, which looks more vinyl then plain satin paint. Or?..

I think i have doīne enough for one day now. Sorry, the first pic doesnīt work, but it was so blurry anyway. More to come soon!!
