OK, thanks a lot.

I pretty much got the suspension dialed in. Front is a combination of '65 and '67 parts, widened track width. The tie rod ends were cut off of the drag link and scooted outward to get the toe back in line.

The rear is mostly '67. Originally a three link design with a panhard rod, I converted it to a more drag-ready triangulated four link setup similar to Fox Mustang. Boxed lower control arms, new uppers made from shortened '65 lowers.

Big tubs on this car, I didn't have to cut a thing to fit the slicks.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever chopped up a car model, but perhaps I will one day.

Prime time!

Finally got the body in a decent state, time to see it all in one glorious shade of Plastikote T-235. Just a little more body work to go yet.

This right side curved upper door character line was obliterated for some reason, so I gave it some new definition.

The start of a Cammer:

I had the original '67 interior bucket, rear seat, and dash, but nothing else. Add to that a '65 Galaxie steering wheel, buckets, and console. I was going to go for a racier interior with a roll bar, race buckets, no console or rear seat, etc, but I decided to make it a bit more streetable.
