echoxrayniner Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I got my hands on a rather cheap practically new '75 Mustang Mach 1 kit by MPC after losing out on an actual '76 Cobra II kit by MPC, thinking I'd just make it a Mach 1 like I previously did with the AMT kit just to see how well it goes together and how accurate it would be compared(well, easily twice as good as the AMT Mustang II, for certain) but then I found the set of Cobra parts by Missing Link on eBay and thought I'd put my recently designed Cobra II decals to use. Its pretty much as it is from the box besides a few things, didn't bother sanding away the trim, something I never like to do on ancient kits cause I'm always terrified of bending/breaking something while manhandling it, for the rest its just the Missing Link Cobra II parts, a set of slotted mags from a Ford Pinto Wagon kit and... thats it, its still even got the anemic six cylinder in there. I did lose the friggin' hoodscoop at some point during painting but I gotta admit, I actually like this look a lot more.
Renegade Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Looks great in black with the gold stripes.
T.Henry Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 I must be the oddball that really loves the Mustang II better than the others... Have a soft spot for this car. I imagine it with the 5.0 and some glasspacks. Perfect color combo!!
mustang1989 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Wow!! That's one that you don't see built every day. One heckuva build right there and I like the colors.
Bucky Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 A very nice head turner of a Mustang! I remember seeing a few of these black and gold 1:1 size back in the day.
om617 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Nice Mustang. Imo i look more clean minus the scoop.
vamach1 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Nice job. I have the conversion kit and decals as well to do a Cobra II. Edited September 9, 2018 by vamach1 Added pics of models
KWT Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 That's awesome! Never really like those cars, but that is definitely a redeeming job right there.
Maindrian Pace Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Very nice job, and those decals just about couldn't be any better. Great looking Mustang.
El Caballo Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 My older brother had a '78 Mach 1 (in name only), but at least he had one.
echoxrayniner Posted September 12, 2018 Author Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks y'all! Didn't think the ugly duckling of the Mustangs would get a lot of love, but glad to see it did!
Jim N Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Very nice! My wife drove one of these when we started dating. It was a dog, but they all were back then. I think even the V8's were producing about 1/2 a horsepower per cubic inch.
peekay Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I like that (and your Capri) - you don't see too many of them.
webestang Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Very cool build!!!! Mustang II's ROCK!!!!!!!!
