I understand why you aren't changing the wheelbase but it completely changes the whole look of the car.

Really, really cool idea and a great start to your project. Stance is everything in this type of car/model, and looks like you are really nailing that. Good Luck and will be watching the progress!  TIM

Very cool project!  We don't see this Javelin body style very often and your inspiration subject really does look very aggressive!  I will definitely come and see your progress because I really like out of the ordinary subjects and yours is a good example!

Thanks Francis!

Thanks everyone for the comments...much appreciated!

Been working through body modifications. Reshaped the rear tail lights by filling in some of the tail lights squares and eliminating others for a cleaner look. Added the rear diffuser from the Mustang GT and trimmed the headlight bezels for a more aggressive look. Reworked the dashboard with scratch-built gauge cluster and modern steering wheel with paddle shifts (wavering between the Revell Mercedes AMG GT column and wheel and the Revell LaFerrari)...decisions, decisions!

Onward and upward!

Hi Fred!

Great and unique project. Your treatment of the rear end is nice. Does the IRS come from the GT4, as the diffuser does?  Your big rear tires will be a tight fit!

Go on, very interesting.

Just curious, not a criticism, but why using the Mustang frame?

I ran across this car at the Goodguys show in Nashville in 2019. A very impressive machine. I’ll watch your build as this is right down my alley. Great start, keep it up.
