More correct shock towers and firewall for the 60 Ranchero

[junkyardjeff]

Since I am putting a straight six in it I would like to put a more correct firewall and shock towers in it so is there a Mustang that could be a good donor.

The '67 Mustang/Shelby isn't totally correct for a '60 Falcon but would be an improvement over what the kit gives you.

Here are the Mustang parts.

Thanks and will look for a 67 junker to rob the parts off of,anything is better then what I have now. The first two 60s I built I did not care but now would like to make a little more accurate.

Jeff you will need to cut the inner fenders free from the '67 Mustang body.  I like to build up all the engine bay panels and glue them to the chassis then paint it as a complete assembly.  I even glue in the shock tower (export) braces before painting.

I'm using chassis and interior from a Lindberg 63 mustang, it's working out well.  Did have to add some panel to rear.  I have pic's I can share if you're interested.
