RestoModGuy Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Very nice! Followed your build, you did a lot of detail work on this.
Davewilly Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Pretty sharp! I really like the old Trans-Am series cars.

espo Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Beautiful build. I also watched your build and the body conversion. The body turned out perfect. Great paint and detailing.

Scalper Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Nice job on the roof. Your model came out very nice
Snake45 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Very nice indeed! You obviously put a lot of research and work into this. Well done and model on!

Well done and model on! Hi, Wow this is wonderful! I love it. nice one Thanks Andre, Snake, Aurf & Ken - I think there might be enough interest for AMT, Revell or Moebius to release a modern kit of a notchback Mustang - with 67 or 68 possibly being more desirable than 65 or 66. A nice 65/66 notchback can be built by converting the 1/24 Revell Convertible.
DustyMojave Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Nice job Phil!!!!!!!Not to speak poorly of your model, but for reference for others and your own future reference...the seat belts in the 1960s had black webbing, not blue. But you ARE right to use black spark plug wires. You were right to install the rear side interior panels as well as the inner door panels and mostly stock dash. Only the gauge insert section of the dash was allowed to be modified from stock.I think you can probably figure that such a car is on my own list of those to build, considering my reference info and pictures of the 1:1 Shelby Trans Am Mustang I worked on restoring that I provided to help you build yours.A decent 65 -66 Mustang notchback could be built using the AMT '66 body shell and the AMT '67 fastback chassis. The '67 Mustang chassis just might be a more correct wheelbase than the original annual 1966 kit, based on my recent experience with building a '69 Barracuda phantom trans Am race car using an MPC annual kit body and a recent issue Duster chassis, both of which should have the same wheelbase.

Thanks for your reply Richard. You have sharp eyes. I ran out of black for the seat belt material but liked the contrast of the blue on the black seats. Maybe I should have posed my photos in black & white like back in the day!!??
DustyMojave Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 HAHA! They DO look nice. I have blue belts like that in my Baja Bug now. Just wanted to point that out so others would know.
