• Finished the Mach Won Mustang Funny Car...................................PIC's
  • Re: Looking good *NM*
  • Craig, what didn't you like about the decals? You're familiar with the name Coulter, right? *NM*
    • here is a pic of the kit decals just didn't do anything for me and I had the Coulter ones looked good on the red, never thought anyone would pick up on the Coulter decal not being drag racing
    • I have no clue with the Coulter name. Anyone special? *NM*
      • Bill Coulter. A very well known modeler from Ohio. Was a very big hitter in the MPC Contest wars in the '70's. Has written many, many articles for most of the model mags. Has his own to, ATS (Auto Trends in Scale) magazine. *NM*
        • Oh geez...
          • LOL!!! *NM*
  • It looks good, especially in red. Were the chassis' on real funny cars that simplistic? Or is that just because it's a model? *NM*
    • It looks to be a fairly accurate copy of the Logghe Bros Stamping chassis that was pretty trick in the mid 60's early 70's.
      • Thank you *NM*
      • Commerical for the Tim Boyd F/C models book...
  • Looks good - I was looking at that chassis for an Eliminator II build... *NM*
  • Very nice ! What paint did you use on the Chassis and Body? *NM*
    • body was Tamiya TS-86 Pure Red and the chassis is Rust-Oleum gloss Apple Red *NM*
  • Nice clean build. *NM*
  • Thanks Craig, Nice build I didn't realize it has full sized front tires. *NM*
  • Nice build! I thought the body on those would be stock. I was hoping to make a stock ‘70 out of one. *NM*
    • It is bone stock. There's several options for the front, that's just one of them. *NM*
    • the body is stock, rear fenders are not hogged out, I shaved the wipers, door handles, side marker lites and used the blocked out grill like the box are, the stang grill is included *NM*
    • Body is untouched from the annual. F/R roll pans were removed from the annual chassis and added to the FC parts tree
      • ...another minor touch for realism would be to lengthen the lower front slot toward the marker light to match the angle. *NM*
        • Yep - and clean up the closed off rear 1/4 where the scoop was on the '69
          • Where would you source the glass and hood from to build one stock? *NM*
            • Just cut a hole in the hood for the shaker if you want one. I haven't tried it, but I'd look at a '69 Cougar windshield *NM*
              • That would get you pretty close - or just make one. There are no compound curves
  • Here is a link to the original kit instructions. *NM* *LINK*
