Cool build!

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Thanks for the pics & info Tom. I took a good look at both of the chassis and see where I felt the width would be an issue, but after measuring they are very close, if not the same in width. The distance between the A-arms on the Galaxie are wider than the Starliner, as the Galaxie doesn't use full size A-arms, so that visually threw me off. I've already ordered my Galaxie kit so I guess its on now.

That's crazy stuff there! Wow!

Very well done! Look elegant!

Nice! Kinda pops off the page!

Sweet! I love the repurposed hood!

Nice job!

Sweet project!

I'm planning a tribute build of my late brother-in-law's 63 Galaxie as it was when he passed. He was my friend and mentor before he married my sister. Anyway, I bought the 63 Galaxie kit before, as well as the 60 Starliner kit to upgrade the Galaxie chassis. But when I lined everything up, there were several things that didn't match. I can't recall them all but I think the Starliner was wider and longer, and the floor pan designs were different. I wound up building both separately but reading so many people saying that it will work, I'm asking who actually made it work, and do you have pics? Thanks. Here is how I wound up building them.

Simply awesome!

Nice job! I love the colors.

Thanks guys.

It is an altered wheelbase car, 4mm altered. It is not the long nose Mustang altered which were built for 1966. This represents the first AWB 'Stangs built for 1965. Check out the comparison pics below between a stock Mustang and mine. Note the distance between the sculpted side panel and the wheel well. And yes it is 1/24th scale.

Thanks guys. I only posted a couple of pics because I was anxious to get this one on the shelf and move on to my Belair because it was such a bear. When I get some time I'll pull it back down and take a few more pics.

A truly awesome build!

Fantastic fabrication work!

Yes, very nice!

Looks fantastic Pat!

Yes simple kits are okay, but I really wanted to try to replicate my late brother-in-law's 63 Galaxie he had in the 70's. He jacked it up with those silly shackles, and cut the exhausts off and added Cherry Bombs and straight pipes. I bought the kit to try to do that, but with molded-in exhausts and axle it was impossible. Some folks told me to use the Starliner kit, but they didn't match up well so I wound up making the Galaxie a custom, and building the Starliner separately. I might try that again but expect to do more fabrication than my original plan.

Awesome fabrication work!

Sweet build! Awesome chassis!

Nice work!

Well done!

A lots going into this build! Kudos!
