1971 Mustang Mach 1

Tim Heimer
I bought this kit for the rims to use on My Eleanor build, but decided to build it. Anyone going for this kit, be warned that it will be a challenge to make it come out good. The directions are as clear as mud! The engine compartment lacks detail as well as accuracy. The interior is better than the 73 Mustang from AMT. Very few locator pins and no engine mounts, front bumper locator pins are slightly off as well as other issues. I will post some of the issues in pics. The decals come with markings for a Mach 1, but only the rear stripe and nothing for the hood or sides? Really? Why I decided to torcher myself with this when I still haven't finished the 73 kit? Only God knows!

I posted a review for the new AMT 1971 Mach 1 kit coming here soon, looks to be a vast improvement over this one. new decal sheet is awesome and comes with 2 wheel options.
