70 Boss 429 Mustang 3 ' N 1

Boss 429 Mustangs were built in very limited num­bers in 1969 and 1970 in order to homologate the

®

radical Boss 429 engine for NASCAR

competition.
The Boss 429 was a serious powerplant, with a forged
steel crankshaft, four-bolt mains, a 735-cfm Holley
four-barrel carb on an aluminum high rise intake
manifold and large-port, staggered valve aluminum
heads with crescent shaped “semi-hemi” combustion
chambers. To fit the big engine, the Mustang’s front
suspension needed to be moved outward, which
widened the front track by two inches and actually
improved the handling of the car, ironically. Kar Kraft,
an outside contractor in Brighton, Michigan, handled
the final assembly of the Boss 429 Mustangs. The

specialized assembly process and the exotic engine
boosted the sticker price up to almost $5000-a hefty
sum in 1970. Today, the Boss 429’s are among the
rarest and most sought after Mustangs ever produced
by Ford.
Your Revell kit may be built as a factory stock 1970
Boss 429, as a customized street machine with dual
quads on a tunnel ram intake manifold and cus­tom graphics, or as a modern “Motor City Muscle”
screamer complete with up-to-date large diameter
chrome custom wheels and new low-profile rubber.
The choices are yours, go with one of the versions
described or mix and match the parts as you see fit
to make your Boss 429 your very own.

* Study the assembly drawings.
* Each plastic part is identified by a number.
* In the assembly drawings, some parts will be

marked by a star (★) to indicate chrome
plated plastic.

* For better paint and decal adhesion, wash

the plastic parts in a mild detergent solution.
Rinse and let air dry.

* Check the fit of each piece before

cementing in place.

DECAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut desired decal from sheet.

4. Wait until decal is movable on paper backing.

5. Place decal in position on model, face up and

slide backing away.

6. Press out air bubbles with a soft damp cloth.

7. Milkiness that may appear is for better decal

adhesion and will dry clear. Wipe away any

excess adhesive.

* Sur les schémas de montage, certaines pièces sont

marquées d'une étoile (★) pour indiquer qu'elles sont en
plastique chromé.

* Pour une meilleure prise de la peinture et des autocollants,

laver les pièces en plastique avec une solution détergente
peu concentrée. Les rincer et les laisser sécher à l'air.

* Vérifier que chaque pièce s'ajuste bien avant

de la coller en place.
* N'utiliser que de la colle pour polystyrène.
* Gratter les parties à coller pour enlever le chrome et la peinture.
