'67 Ford Mustang hardtop
This june a very good frind of me is going to make his biggest mistake in life , he's going to marry.
They will use the Mustang of his father in law, which is a '67 mustang hardtop straight 6. As we know there is no model of a '67 hardtop, only fastbacks. So i had to buy two kits to try to make one good one. First a picture of the Original car. The kits i'm using: The progress till now after different mistakes. Because this car is a six straight, i couldn't use the engine's from the kits. So i order this from Australia.

Re: '67 Ford Mustang hardtop
Today the postwomen came to my door an delivered me some with a happy end.
Ik opened the package from Down-under and i found a newspaper, a little disapointed i started to read the news ( it could be interesting to read some news from the other side of the world ) and then a small bag fell out of the newspaper. Filled with some yellow/brown stuff. A closer insection made me realise it was the engine i ordered. It looks great, very well casted and a little flash on it. Only the V-belt is to wide. At last i have somthing to glue together in stead of sanding

Re: '67 Ford Mustang hardtop
Nice progress on it so far!! I'm guessing that the engine came from Michelle at The Parts Box in Australia? They're really great to deal with!!

Re: '67 Ford Mustang hardtop
Tonio, I've bought the engine from a guy who doesn't have a site jet.
I will send a picture of the engine back when it's finished to put on his ( in progres being ) site. To the Stang. I put the Gnome to work on the sanding, which ik don't like at this moment. But it is wors. The whole day on one spot and nothing done. I made some work on the engine ( photo's made in super-macro) The engine is very nice detailed and i will put on some ignitionwires.

Re: '67 Ford Mustang hardtop
Nice project! Engine seems to be casted without pressure and degasing and there are some bubbles on the surfaces, but it should be fine when fixed.

Re: '67 Ford Mustang hardtop
After a long time, i found some rest to pick up the Stang.
Some progress was made on the engine. I made the belt a lot smaller and added some ignition wires. And i finished te work on the body, now i have a '67 hardtop . Still some sanding to do, but almost ready to put on some primer. For the engine i need to go to the local hobbyshop to find the right blue. The two blue paints i've are Revell 50 ( too light ) and Revell 51 ( too dark ). Next challenge will be to make the open airea in the interieur closed. Need to close the part behind the backseat en sides of the backseat.

Re: '67 Ford Mustang hardtop
Great work so far.
IMHO, I think you should have used the entire roof from '66 Mustang kit. The roof from the fastback is much more rounded, as the hardtop is straighter. Just my 2cents ;-) |

Re: '67 Ford Mustang hardtop
I didn't see it mentioned but I believe that is a 68 Mustang in the original post.
