looking real sweet Mike. that's my plan, I have gathered up most of the parts but its been so long since I did, I don't know where they are at.
quick story. I was 20, heard of a lemon twist AAR cuda for sale (this was in 1980). went to see the car. "well" he said. "my wife really wants me to keep the AAR because its an automatic and she can drive it, but I will sell you that car there for the same $6000?" a black on black 69 Boss 429 mustang 4 speed. yea, I passed.

I am back on the '69 Boss 302! I built a different model for the Classic Plastic Model Club Exhibition "Club Challenge". So, I am going to drill the cylinder heads and distributor for plug wires. What's this? Why it's the distributor to the Boss 302. I drilled a little too far and the shaft fell out. I replaced it with a piece of round styrene.  I drilled out the cylinder heads for plugs wires.   More Boss 302 to come... |

I'm back on the '69 Boss 302. Instead of using the kit distrutor, I dug through my parts box and found another distributor and drilled it out. I cut 4 light blue wires at 4 inches and inserted them into the distributor and let it dry overnight. This morning, I routed the wires to their appropriate holes. In the process of wiring the engine, I destroyed the fan and belt assembly, so I went back into the parts box and found another fan and belt assembly. Now I can paint the transmission and touchup the engine.   I found two sinkmarks in the mufflers on the exhaust system. I filled those with Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty.  More Boss 302 to come... |

The Mustang Boss 302 is coming along! The interior is partially done and the chassis has been completed. I mocked the wheels and tires after I had attached the tires to a 1/2 socket and ran it with my cordless drill and a sanding stick to rough up the tire surface.  The Boss 302 is in the chassis and mostly complete.  The instructions didn't call for it, but it is in the kit, so I added the Shelby roll bar to the interior.  More Boss 302 to come... |

The word of the day is decals! Decals for the dash, gauges, interior and air cleaner.    More Boss 302 to come... |

Thank you Keith! One of the things that I hate doing on model cars is painting Magnum 500 wheels since I usually make a mess out of them. Using my magnifier and a steady hand, the wheels were painted, decaled and installed on the chassis. While I was doing this, the engine popped out of the chassis and I had to reinstall it.

Those wheels look great to me, bro! I had a 1965 Ford Falcon once that broke a motor mount. I stepped on the gas and that 289 nearly jumped out of that chassis!! LoL It actually pulled the gas line loose from the fuel pump!

Thanks Keith! It took me and my magnifier a while to do. I think it looks pretty good.
