This model was started around February, 1970, as a planned entry in the MPC National Model Car Championships. It was a combination of the MPC 1970 Challenger kit and the MPC 1969 Ohio George (clear body) Mustang kit (chassis and interior). I soon encounted problems with finishing the bodywork on the fiberglass liftoff front (hood seems, filling hood scoops, etc.) and put the project aside. Every year I pulled it out and did a little bit of work until it was finished around 1987 when I lived in Atlanta. Body paint etc. isn't perfect but this model is one of my long time favorites.
