"racing for the cure" 88 Mustang hatchback

[ford514]

i built this to go along with the 1:1 mustang i'm going build for Susan G Komen breast cancer. its the first model i've completed in about 7 years.

i used the revell 93' svt cobra i had laying around after i hacked it up to much from a previous build. i had to reconstruct the engine bay, the back seat, and the back of the chassis. after i got it to where i could work with i narrowed the front k member from the 05 mustang kit and added airbags, and the rear end from the same kit. then i took the engine and made a engine cover to look like the new 5.0 coyote, looks pretty good i think. then i took the rims from the new challenger and made them fit. then i made a roll bar and a custom sound system set up. painted it in smoke grey pearl and hot magenta and sliver. added plenty of the pink ribbons like on the seats and engine cover and then the fenders. then i decided to take a garter i had laying around and make a bass/amp for it and add that in.

and here it is "under glass"

Both the added details and the car look great. Have to get one of these kits myself.

Nice build for a nice cause.

Where did the Stratocaster come from?

[ford514]

i think it came from the revell magnum, the normal one.
