1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302

This is a build I had started last year for the Classic Plastic Model Club 'Club Challenge' and I never finished it.  I have recently started this build up again and I have many parts painted and some installed. The interior is partially done and the chassis has been completed.  I mocked up the wheels and tires after I had attached the tires to a 1/2 socket and ran it with my cordless drill and a sanding stick to rough up the tire surface.

The Boss 302 is wired and installed in the chassis and mostly complete.

The instructions didn't call for it, but it is in the kit, so I added the Shelby roll bar to the interior.

The word of the day is decals! Decals for the dash, gauges, interior and air cleaner.

One of the things that I hate doing on model cars is painting Magnum 500 wheels since I usually make a mess out of them. Using my magnifier and a steady hand, the wheels were painted, decaled and installed on the chassis. While I was doing this, the engine popped out of the chassis and I had to reinstall it.

Coming along nicely, Mike. Are those decals on the tires? They look great.

Thanks Mike! There are no decals on the tires. They are pad-printed.

I have decided to put this kit back in the box and I will finish it at a later date.
