Well Claude, the Mustang is definitely unique.  Beautiful paint color and paint job as usual from you, and terrific detail.  👍👍

You’re a master of body work and custom interiors in this scale  - exceptional!

Thanks Brian!

Well, that's a lot of praise, but let's just say that I try my best!

Well, Claude, you've done it again. Both socks completely blown off! What an imaginary masterpiece and perfect execution. But what is in the W-203 box?

I can't say that I'd buy one but that's some pretty impressive body work and a cool idea , well done Claude !

Thanks Bob!

I assume the insurance bill would be a burden, but we'll never know LOL!

Nice, a real show stopper. Great craftsmanship, as always. Well done Claude.

Hi David!

Some spectator at my last model show tought it was a 4 door Mustang. I guess the door cut lines are too subtle...

Interesting concept! 

Thank you Andy! 

I've always liked manufacturers' concept cars, and I think trying to emulate them is a challenge for me. Beats building box stock in my book...

Very nice custom. Color is amazing and I like the items in back. 

Thanks Scott! 

What good would a wagon be if not for carrying some stuff? Had to build some!

Stunning. Simply stunning. Smooth, clean and a beautiful color. Superb build.

Thank you David! 

Much appreciated. I tought long and hard before "chopping" a 69 Sportroof, but I'm happy with the results!

Hello Hello Hello, this is a message from beyond!

It's been a long time since I visited your threads my friend but I see that you have lost none of your imagination and your dexterity my friend.  I'm afraid I'm going to run out of superlatives once I catch up on all the wonders you've done during my extended break...

Another display of endless imagination, I must add you started with good bones, you can't go wrong with a '69 Mustang! 👍

No rest for the... talented! 😉

I love it when a builder literally stretches their limits. Superb work on the interior. The front end with that grill is so smooth. The paint color and finish........It just goes on. Excellent build.  

Hi Paul!

Thank you for the compliments, but bear in mind it's mostly a curbside "styling exercise"...

Seems like everyone has beat me to the accolades for this build, but I will repeat them anyway. That bodywork is flawless, and I really like the color you chose. The concept is futuristic, except Ford has introduced a 4-door Mustang in their EV line. However, yours looks 100% better than the Ford monstrosity.

Thanks Ricky!

Who knows? If Ford had created an electric Mustang CAR (and not a SUV)... Might have looked like this one? LOL

I can only echo the previous comments. I’ve not been on the forum for long but I’ve already come to enjoy your excellent custom builds when you post them. Definitely one of the wildest looking Mustangs I’ve seen. Top stuff. 👍🏻

[John B.]

Another one of your unique and original creations!

[ATHU]

Very nice and inspiring build as always Claude!!

[Steve H]

Ah yes… another imaginative creation from the house of Claude. Hope you are well my friend! I see the hours of fun with styrene continue. 
 

Cheers, Steve

I am particularly impressed with the arc of the roofline.  No wonky transitions just a nice gentle arc from the windshield to the rear window. Very nice!

Thanks Craig!

That roof arc was the hardest part: lotsa sanding, but slowly and  carefully, to avoid any dip or bad angle. Came out nice!

Thank you Mike!

Happy you like it, but I must insist it is a curbside, not a "full blown" contes model per se. The goal was to celebrate an iconic Ford design!

Thank you Steve! 

You've got an eagle eye. Well, the box contains the actual blueprints from Ford Design, the one they got approved by management before work started on this concept. But the Boss 429 crankshaft in the crate on the rear platform tells me they are working on a follow-up, only this time, with very high performance!

Who knows?
