I
thought this would be a good kit to build, and the price
was very reasonable, I made a pretty good deal on it. Though
I don't build heavy trucks very often (there are just to
many parts to deal with).
I
started the kit, and what you see here is the chassis. Because
I had a serious fitment problem with the cab parts, especially
the front window and top, it has never been finished. The
directions are just to vague on how to assemble the cab,
which made it a real chore, and I am not happy with how
it was coming out.
I
will say the chassis is done very well represented in the
kit. The tires are the best (compared to AMT crap, such
as their split plastic tires! Arghhh).
I
am very happy with the result show here. I did weather it
a bit, a part I enjoyed.
Maybe
one day I will finish it, but it's on the back burner for
now.
Mustang
Boss 302: From Racing Legend to Modern Muscle Car
- Of the legendary names in the history of
the Ford Mustang, one stands apart: BOSS. Originally created
to homologate the new Boss 302 engine and option package for
SCCA Trans-Am racing, the Mustang Boss 302 debuted for the
1969 model year and was built in limited numbers for the street
through 1970. Designed by the legendary Larry Shinoda, the
Boss cars were easily distinguished from their less potent
stablemates by their race-bred powerplant, standard front
spoiler, and bold graphics. For the 2012 model year, Ford
has at long last revived the most revered of all Mustang models:
BOSS. With a new racing counterpart and a modern street version
that delivers more than 440 horsepower, the Boss is truly
back! To mark this historic occasion, Mustang historian Donald
Farr has written a complete history of the Boss 302, from
its late 1960s origins in Ford’s boardrooms, through
its Trans-Am successes and untimely demise in 1970 up to the
conception and development of the spectacular new 2012 Mustang
Boss 302. Packed with brilliant photography and first-hand
accounts from the people who created the original Boss as
well as the team that resurrected Ford’s most iconic
Mustang, this is the story every Mustang enthusiast has been
waiting to read!
