1969 Mustang GT Sportsroof

[unclescott58]

This was built from an AMT reissue of the original MPC '69 Mustang Mach I kit. As noted in Tim Boyd's book, Collecting Muscle Car Model Kits, even though MPC claimed it to be a Mach I. It is not. The kit has always come with GT hub caps and gas filler cap. Not correct for a Mach I. So that's how I decided to build this one, without the Mach I decals. Making it a GT. 

I still need to find correct GT stripes for the car. Otherwise it's done.

You are correct it is not a Mach1 although it's easy to do if you add the shaker hood or Mach1 hood scoop, decals, a stock gas cap and either hub caps or Magnum 500's. With all that chrome a black wash would help tone it done a little.  Ditto for the wheels and the Motolow pen is great for doing the chrome trim around the windshield, etc.  Some side mirrors from maybe the AMT 67/68 and plain stipe decals as in the picture and your pony will be hard to tame.  Keep building those nice Mustangs you do not see too often.

I like this MPC kit, Though the original AMT has a more accurate shape, it has a plain boring chassis.

Very nice. Even with the boring chassis, I like these type of kits
