70's style Boss Stang

[Horsepowerguy]

First off, this build in not high on my "to finish list". This build is just a time waster to keep me building until the weather up here is nice enough to paint outside.

Well, I'm not a fan of the 70 mustang, but I got this kit as a gift. I don't usually build 1:24 scale, either. Factory stock is not my thing, so this is not going to be your average Boss Mustang build.

I was not happy with the kit wheel options, luckily I had an old build up of a Monogram 55 Chevy Street Machine. These slotted mags and Bias-ply tire work well with the Tunnel Ram intake option in the kit. I also built some traction (slapper) bars for the suspension. I'm going to use the rear window louvers. I'm thinking of using the front chin spoiler, but not the rear spoiler.

If you have not guessed by now, this is going to be built in a mid to late 70's style.

I have three options for the intake/hood.

First, leave the engine factory stock. and go with the Boss hood scoop.


Second, use the kit Tunnel Ram with hood and velocity stacks.


Third, cut down the "custom" hood's intake surround, and use a "drag scoop" on the dual 4 barrel carbs.


These pics are just mock ups, the nose will be a little lower and the rear a little higher.

Let me know what you think would be best. I want your opinions, good or bad

Cool.
build it with some attitude ;o)

I found this on ebay.

It's close to how I want my Stang to look. No side pipes, no rear spoiler, and it's the wrong year.

well well well....another non-TRaKable!

I like option 3. I don't build 1/24th either, but I have ended up with a couple.

I like option3. To me the stance looks about perfect in the mock up stage.

I"m leaning toward option 2. The drag scoop thing sounds cool to me.

[Horsepowerguy]

I've been making slow progress on this one. I decide to go with option 3.

With the hole in the hood trimmed down i think it looks a lot better.




here is a better look at the rear wheel.


I'm planning a green or brown body colour, with a white and black factory style interiour.

I like those wheels and you can never go wrong with the blac/white interior.
