68 Sport Fury

[jsc]

On another thread I started while working on a '68 Fury wagon, I admitted that I had really chopped up the original body from the police pursuit kit.

So I started thinking about how to put the body back together. It hit me that the '67 GTX has the same roof line as a Fury Sport. So I cut the top off the two,

I rescribed the door lines to make it a two door. I'll probably add bucket seats and a console

I'll probably make the GSX into a convertible, but that's a different story. I'm not sure if I'll ever finish this one, but it's fine to give it a try

Enjoy!

Update on the Fury. I chopped up the back seat to add the recess in the middle. Scratchbuilt a console. Cut the original bench seat in half to make buckets

I added a little color just to see what it would look like.

Thoughts? Thanks for looking!

Cool conversion! Most of us are used to seeing cop cars or taxis made out of that Fury.

Looks like the whole roof is too far back. The 1/1 Belvedere/GTX series cars and Furys used different roof stampings and don't interchange, but you could probably make this work if you shift the roof forward and reproportion things more.

Thanks. Your picture is very helpful. The roof isn't attached yet. I'm thinking vinyl top, and I might as well get that done while it's off. But I'll take care when I attach it

Cool project. I grew up riding in the back seat of a 1968 Fury 2 door. Ours was frost green. I can't wait to see this one built up!

UPDATE ON THE FURY:

I was able to get a bit more work done on the Fury. Cut the bench seat down and made buckets. Painted the interior a satin black. Chromed the rear seat insert.

Scratchbuilt a console, and added a straight pin as a shifter.

Thanks for looking!
