“BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 26 THE 1971 MUSTANG FUNNY CAR OF TOMMY GROVE

[M W Elky]

What a great cover shot. I used the awesome mpc blue max funny car kit with the addition of 427 sohc parts from the polar lights mustang f/c kit. I had a hard time picking out the right shade of blue as it depends on the reference photos you look at . I finally decided on a tamyia dark metallic blue, and decals from the great chuck boener. He has quite a few decal sheets available that fit this body. If you’re not familiar I’d suggest you check’ ‘‘em out.

thanks for looking ?. , Mike

Awesome build.   I remember going to the Aquasco 1/4 mile track in the 1970s.  It was closer than MIR.  Great memories.

Very cool build, Mike. I always liked the Tommy Grove Mustangs, and their clean appearance. And of course, anything with a Cammer is super cool. You nailed the look. Well done.

BTW, where do you get decals from Chuck?
