This is the AMT Camaro concept that I have converted into a convertible. opened the doors, filled in the air scoop on the nose. Over the rear seats I have molded "humps" to act as headrest surrounds. I added a '"waterfall" area between the seats kind of like the corvette has.

A few weeks back, I started a Chrysler 300C touring wagon, like a lot of you guys did. I couldn't bring myself to scrap the body from the 300 and the nose from the Magnum, so I needed to build something with those parts. I cut the top off the 300 because I wanted a 2 door coupe. replaced the top with a 1970 Dodge Super Bee roof. The top didn't look quite right so I added the side wings ala, 1969 Dodge Charger to the roof. I opened and hinged the doors and designed a rear end that uses the tail lights from the 1970 Super Bee. In fact that is what this is...2007 Dodge Super Bee Concept. I have done a 2 door Chrysler 300 coupe and I really think there could be a market for a full size coupe, Dodge or Chrysler for the guys that like the Bentley's but don't have $180,000 handy. This will be yellow pearl with a black side stripe and a Super Bee logo, or close to it.

This is my Ford Mustang Gt that I am converting to a Shelby GT500. I have modified the hood by adding a layer to the top. enlarging the upper grill opening and changing the angle on the sides. The bottom grill opening was reshaped and fog lights were added to the corners. It still needs a small air spoiler under the front fasia. I opened two hood air vents which will have black photo etched grills. On the rear deck I built a new rear spoiler and then opened the doors which will be hinged. I am planning to paint it bright metallic blue with pearl white stripes. I realize I may get a few of the details a little off from the prototype, so I will tell you right now, I don't care. I build them like I want to. I will be installing the motor from the Ford GT to replicate the Shelby powerplant.

Nice work!

For the Mustang, a better engine option might be the '99 Cobra engine with the blower from the '99 Lightning truck. The PL Ford GT engine is all wrong for both the GT and the new Shelby, and is not that well detailed to boot. It's supposed to be a DOHC engine, but the PL kit has narrow SOHC heads. The '99 Cobra has correct DOHC heads.
