This is an old build from 1995. AMT 66 Mustang that has been modified to 65 GT version (at least almost) with a help of parts from AMT 66 GT Fairlane. As the Mustang kit is not very detailed the rear and front suspension, inner fenders, exhaust pipes etc. have been taken from the Fairlane among with some other details as the wheels and tires too. Grille mesh is from my brother's shaver with some GT foglights from parts box. I needed to make the panel lines for the headlight bezels and the front fenders in the area below the bumber needed to be "rounded" quite a lot as it has completely wrong form in the model. Luckily it was very thick so it could be done by just sanding it.

Paint is from a small repair paint spray can which I think was a Mitsubishi color. I sprayed the paint to a glass jar and then sprayed it with airbrush. Several coats of 1-k clear over the paint and polished with Millennium 2000 kit.

I had a 66 Mustang back in the day but I always liked the 65.  Really like the blue and the GT badging and the business end looks nice and clean.

Ohh, very pretty GT. Great job kit bashing with the Fairlane kit to pump up the detail. I particularly love the look of that gorgeous blue with the chrome wheels and thin whitewalls. Looks like one sitting on the showroom floor in 1964-1/2!

Great job. Clever use of the 66 Fairlane. I always thought that AMT nailed the shape of the mustang body,  but the lack of detail on the engine bay and suspension was a bit disappointing. 
Yours looks ace??
