cobraman Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Nice start. I will be keeping an eye on this one.
1972coronet Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 YES !!! Are you the same fellow who's making a 16th scale Duster as well ?
kennb Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Good start,,,,,,,,I am doing the Duster,,,,,,,it is in the paint shop right now.....................
Kennyboy Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Cool project Jimmy! I was pretty surprised to see the difference it made to lengthen the cutout to the back of the C-pillar and the back of the quarter. Keep goin'! I'm watchin'
goodwin3224 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 cool project, never would have thought of this. nice work
Jim3 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks guys. I'll have some more pics later, slowly coming along...
Jim3 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 I got a little more done on her... Cut & rolled the top of the fender over then built the corner up to the door line and took off the fender line on the door. Filled in the side bodyline & added the lower window molding..
pappabear1973 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I have never heard of changing a good into a Chevy. Lol. Great idea. Looks like a lot of work. But it looks like you have a nice handle on it
1972coronet Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 it looks like you have a nice handle on it. I only see a location for a handle !
Jim3 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Having trouble posting pics for some reason But it would let me attach pics ? Got the passenger side as far as the driver side, took a break from the body and cast a pair of rear slicks & rims and carb. After several tries I got a pair of headlight buckets made up.. Also been working on a big block for it, scratch built a head to copy and a oil pan that still needs something ? lol
Jim3 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Well here is a little more, got the nose & hood ruffed in. A new oil pan and intake made up.. Couple more things to add to the nose and I can glue it to the body for final shaping ...Got the head set in rubber and casted a couple last night... Also working on the hood scoop
Jim3 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Coming along slowly.. Got a start on the engine bay with a new firewall , a new front core support. Will be adding some more detail to them soon and added some frame rails.. Also made the scoop a little longer to fit the hood better..
brassbuilder Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 This is totally insane! Who would of ever thunk you could turn a Mustang into a Vega of all things??? Looks great so far! Mike
