1966 Ford Mustang

[Peter Lombardo]

This started life as a 1966 Mustang convertible Indy 500 pace car version.  Grafted on the roof from a 1994 Mustang. Opened doors, added hood vents and wheels and tires from Fujimi 17 inch BBS wheels.  Tamiya silver leaf with Tamiya light gun metal stripes.

That works--I can see them there. Very interesting!

I didn't think that roof would look OK,  till I saw the pics of your build. Nicely done.

Very cool combination of an older and newer Mustang and well executed.  Maybe this could be Eleanor's younger sister.?

I like the way the later roof looks on this. Great paint and stripes.

Another great looking model.

Later day roof works incredibly well. I like it.

Beautiful Mustang!

[Peter Lombardo]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.  I really enjoy taking parts from one and seeing how they look on another, glad that this one worked out.  I have two more Mustangs underway,

I think this works so well because the top's profile is very similar to the original '65-'66 Mustang fastback top's. The side windows and enlarged backlight then bring the shape into the 21st Century (and in real life would be more practical from a visibility standpoint, as well). Again, nicely done!

Cool! I often used ´90s Mustang kits for parts for other projects (engines and interiors) and sometimes I thought about using the roof on an earlier Mustang body. Now I know it can look great, so thanks for the inspiration! I also like the hood vents and the paint design, really suits the car!

Very cool concept.
