streetmachine11 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 hi all! I've wanted to build this car for so long finally going to start it. also building it for this years cannonball! a really odd movie most never heard of but it had a cool car. finally gathered the parts to get going. I'm using a amt 65 mustang and a amt 67 mustang since the chassis is all molded together. ill be building it pre-fire most likely. to start I trimmed the wheel wells on the 67 frame to fit under the body. modified the firewall so it mounts the way it should (for mockup) found some rear leafs for the rear that will fit the tires so trimmed off the 67 springs and added these then made some blocks for the front to set ride height. now I can make a front suspension knowing where it needs to set. trim the wheel wells and bring the tires in some. thanks for looking! comments always welcome and appreciated jason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nazz Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Looks like you're off to a great start. Just saw the movie over the winter for the first time. For a "b" movie buff like myself it was a pretty good movie. I'll be watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetmachine11 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 some more progress. made a mount for the front bumper/bashbar so the bumper can be easily attached. also made a wench with the motor and spool. wrapped some wire around it just to see how it looked. this snaps in place so when it comes to detailing and painting it will be much easier. wench set in place needs some fine tuning but I'm happy with it. this is becoming a fun project thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetmachine11 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 i was really stuck on the front suspension so I remade the front suspension to be more realistic. properly lifting it instead of just blocking up the crossmember. made new strut towers and crossmember still need to lake the tiebreaker for the lower control arms and a skid plate. still needs a little cleanup but I think it will be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grsmunkey Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Awesome Build ! TERRIBLE SPELLING ! : FTLOG ! It's " w "I" n c h " .... #theyarenot"breaks"either ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) This kit has been released over and over and people complain when it is, but this build goes to show how versatile that kit/car is. So many movies and tv shows had 65/66 Mustang's in them so different builds can go on for a long long time. This one looks really awesome and I'm going to follow it along.
