Scale-Master Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited February 2, 2016 by Scale-Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroguy Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited December 24, 2015 by Snake45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 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.

Snake45 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Thanks guys. The cowl hood is just too common (in model form) for this one. So I started making some adjustments… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 based on the body meld, I would have called it a "Camstang". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talon63 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenkocamaro Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 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!

Scale-Master Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 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.
