This Mustang participated in the Citrus 250. While not a T/A car, I know Choc-Ice has been building one in 1/32 and has some good pictures of his coming up.

Oh thats sweet. I must resist, Im so far behind in my projects. Its really hard to resist starting something new with all the great building going on lately.

Looks like it has been droop-snooted a bit. An old time stock car trick.

Either that or Bibbster has been driving it and punting folks into the wall...

I need that body for sure! Where can I get one? :banana-rock:

Almafan - look up Choc-Ice here on the forum...he's the one producing them.

Are you doing this Dave? If so are you doing it in street or racing form?

I think the reason it looks droop snooted is because it's '72 or '73 model Mustang. They were also somewhat bigger than previous years. :)

I am not making this, Choc-Ice is - it is a '71+ Mustang. I think he's getting very close on it.

This is a kind of racing I know nothing about here in England!

I'm doing a 1971 Mach 1 which isn't as glamorous as the first generation Mustangs but looks really tough on the track. The main resin bodyshell is done, windows should be finished the week and I'm doing the wheel centers today.

I'm very interested in this Choc, you can probably tell that from my screen name....Any chassis details for this kit?

The chassis for my cars is one that leans through corners and steers, it's for road cars not racers.

But the wheelbase of the bodyshell is 89mm so a PCS adjustable chassis could work or maybe a stretched Pioneer Mustang, or a cut Pioneer Charger?

I've got the silicone mold for the wheel inserts curing right now, hope to post some pictures of the complete kit soon.

Good username! I agree, it's the best choice of color for that car!

I did a new mould for this, I wasn't really happy with the front end even if the back was good. This is how it looks now

Front has much better definition


Back looks good too, no air bubbles and lots of detail in this very complex rear panel


It's a good shape, this type of Mustang. They're not as popular as the 1960s Mustang but Ford did a really good job making it look bigger and tougher when the wheelbase is only an inch bigger than the '60s pony car.

Yeah, I was amazed that the undercarriage was nearly the same. To me, it seemed huge. The driving position was ridiculous, down below the dashboard, peering to see anything, especially out the rear window, etc. I felt like I was driving a Thunderbird from under the floorboards. But the car was really gorgeous, and the Shelby version was one of the most beautiful Shelbys ever.
