Because I stole the headers for my ’73 Camaro from the ’69 Camaro kit, and I had a ’70 Mustang kit at my feet…

 

Getting the Camaro fender accent lines to work with the Mustang rear took a little figuring.  I added some styrene strips to extend the lines and faired it all together.

when I 1st saw this it was ...what?!...but when I followed the rest of the work it all fell into place and it looks cool...

[Snake45]

Very interesting indeed!

I think if you changed the shape of the rear side windows (maybe just fill them in completely?), it would help disguise the top's Mustang origins. Unless, of course, you want it to be obvious that that's where it came from.

Interesting. 

[Scale-Master]

It needs the quarter windows to keep it from looking too bulky in that area.  I'm not disguising any of it's origins, just seeing if the two cars can be combined into something somewhat balanced.  I've thought about putting a 429 Boss engine into it too.

I had this same " vision " a couple of years ago, it will turn out beautiful mate, if only they did make one...

I remember back in the day, someone jobbed a '67-'68 Mustang FB top onto a first-gen Camaro in the old Car Model magazine. That was kind of interesting, too.

[cobraman]

Cool idea, going to look good.

[Foxer]

That is a darn nice fit!

[Geno]

Man that looks badass.

[Scale-Master]

Thanks guys.

The cowl hood is just too common (in model form) for this one.  So I started making some adjustments…

[DrKerry]

Looks awesome!!!!

[DumpyDan]

Wow man this is cool!

[Kit Basher]

Ford and Chevy together....Sacrilege!  How do you know it's not a Catang? Looks great!

Interesting concept in here! Those Camaro and Mustang bodies fit surprisingly well together and that creation looks like something that could have been done back then! Nice work combining those two bodies into one. I'll gotta keep watching this one.

[blunc]

based on the body meld, I would have called it a "Camstang".

[talon63]

I was trying to come up with a witty name and ran across this about how the Camaro got it's name, now the possibilities for names seem endless.

[cobraman]

Now it needs a Mopar engine and your complete . ; )

[Jantrix]

This looks outstanding!!!!! It is crazy how right that body looks to me. Looking forward to seeing more.

Love the concept, and your execution of the roof swap looks well thought out. I tried this many years ago in plastic, but never finished the swap. I saw this resin car on the internet, and its now on my build list, but in 1/18 Diecast. Thanks for sharing.

 

Happy Holidays!

Cheers,

Thanks guys.  I'm not sure how feasible it would be in 1:1 though, at least not with these proportions.  Keep in mind the Camaro parts are 1/25th scale and the Mustang parts are 1/24th.

 

I added inboard lights and made a ’68 GT500-esque grille for another ’69 Camaro several years ago.  That project stalled so I borrowed it for this car.

I reworked the windshield trim and A-pillars.  I also rescribed all the trim and panel lines.

[exesivefire]

Well this is pretty awesome 

[geemoney]

love the grill !!!!
