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! 😉

Salut Francis!

Thanks for the kind words, and happy to see you back at the bench after a busy summer season outside your house!

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. 👍🏻

Hi Stuart!

Thanks, and I hope you stay active with us on this forum for a while, having fun with styrene!

Hello Claude. Well the Porsche is on hold. Because of this……

Hi!

It has often been said that the Sportsroof (fastback) 69/70 Mustang had such a perfect roof that many a customizer attempting to "chop it" ended-up with no so convincing results. Armed with this knowledge, I decided to alter the car, but to get the roof chopped lengtwise, instead of vertically. 

I started with a rare Long Nose Mustang Funny Car body (AMT 1969), a gluebomb that I cleaned-up, and grafted the cowl, windshield, and front roof section of an AMT 69 Mach One, joined with the actual rear roof section of the FC body. It provided me with a long wheelbase, and I scribed door lines, hood and trunk lines, to make it a street car. The interior features Revell's Corvette Indy seats, a 58 TBird dash, Enzo ferrari rolling stock and scratchbuilt door panels, console, shifter, brake levers, seat belts, pedals, column with flasher, rear platform, speakers, various accessories in the cargo bay, etc. Custom Cognac candy, Molotow's chrome accents. A fun curbside to experiment with a styling idea! 

Hours of fun with styrene!

Claude, I thought I had commented on this one, but apparently not. Must be old age...

The things you do with styrene are truly amazing. Love your creativity!

Thanks Mathias!

I appreciate your compliments, but bear in mind that the cause, at my end too, must be... Old age! LOL
