AMT '67 Mustang Fastback-Close-04/15

Back in the day I did my share of wrenching on muscle cars. I don't remember ever seeing any sound deadening material. And that's in all brands. Also had my share of "what the hell were they thinking moments".
Helped a friend restore a 68 Mustang convertible. As we were disassembling we found the side of a washing machine was being used as a floor board. And 3 of the 4 torque boxes were rotted

A piece of washing machine as a floor board section. lol. Been there and seen it pal. lol

Alright gang. I've not been able to post much but the modeling has NOT stopped. Progress so far......

I really need to get in here and get caught up on everyone elses stuff. I'll make that a point tomorrow as it's getting late for me.

As for now......thanks for all the great comments. Had a GREAT time with my wife just out and about this past weekend with absolutely no demands on our time. Life's been crazy this year with one thing to do after another and it was sure nice to take a break together.

Now that we're back home, I am glad to be building on this project again.

This mornings progress. Still need to paint the breather cap on the rocker cover and the alternator bracket is NOT correct BUT...... I needed to do something with it to keep it from becoming the "mysterious floating alternator". I added a bolt head to the front of the alternator to simulate a through bolt into the adjustment bracket. I'm actually good with this as it adds another touch to the engine. Ignition & charging system electrical wiring coming next.

I do love the casting texture on the exhaust manifolds.

Thanks Carlos!!! I have mixed feelings about this engine. On one hand I've got certain aspects that I'm happy with and on the other there are some bone head inaccuracies on it as well like......no oil filter??? and worse....no where I can put one.

Got the engine wiring all completed as of last night. Man it's nice to have some unexpected modeling time to get that much further ahead.
