'66/97 Mustang "Warhorse" and 70 Skyline "Sunshine"

[The Red Ranger]

Inspired by my father's recent 66 Mustang build I picked up the knife and Putty again and wanted to build a 66 inspired by the Hoonicorn and other autocross Mustangs I've seen. I ended up using the chassis, stretched out from the 97 SuperSnake kit so I could use a more modern suspension, use the modern engine, etc. Hood and front balance from a GT500 heavily modified, had to section the hood to work on the 66. Body work has been the biggest consumption of time as I had to cut the wheel wells and add fender flares. I just have some pinhloles and a couple of low spots and should be ready for paint. 

This whole build reminded me of the 70 Skyline I started building with a wild hand built wide body kit 10 years ago, so I wanted to picture them together. The skyline is just visual mods, no need to swap the motor on that. It was a massive undertaking back in the day and life got in the way so it got shelved buuut once the Mustang is finished, the Skyline is next.

The mustang looks cool but the skyline bodykit you built really looks cool. I like how you have some hints of modern VIP style to it but it still looks vitage skyline too.

Thanks! Yeah that bodykit was intense. Still have the putty work to do on the right side but the frames are all in place. And you're spot on, attached is the r34 that inspired this bodykit.
