Very nicely done.
1965 Mustang 2+2 - AMT
These kits are available all over the place these days. I had to try one out just for fun.

Thank you very kindly Chappyman66.
They just released a 32-Ford as well.
This was one of my early builds and is riddled with mistakes. I have a hunger to learn, so I try experiments.
1) The chassis is too far forward to the body. I tried to use the original stubs inside the body as body posts. I'll never do that again. Clean the body out and install posts where I want them from now on. Not where the kit wants them.
2) Rear wheels/tires look nice. But they are too wide for this slow class, narrow car. The car has no forgiveness around a corner until it just rolls out. The brass chassis weight is all the way forward already. It's a pig.
3) Tamiya light metallic blue needs clear coat to shine. That's just the way some metallics are.
4) I could have at least installed the dashboard. There seems to be room for it.
I found another kit. I have a chance to make improvements on the next one. Then compare cars.

Thank you very kindly, Mfogg.
I enjoy the challenge and opportunity to make things better. But rather than just changing the existing car. I prefer to make a new platform and compare the changes.
These kits are everywhere. So I bought these extra kits when they went on sale. Trisha if you're looking. Unlike your Beetles, this is not the beginning of a barn full of Mustangs (At least I don't think so, yet).
