james460 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Having grown up in the 50/60's I can't tell you how many 65/66 Mustangs I've seen done this way in real life. Bubble hood big and little tires jacked to the sky. Nice work brings back some really good memorys. Again excellent work.
unclescott58 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Fun to see one built. I'm also disappointed now that I've seen one built. Your build is great. In other words the work you did is great. But, boy! I had heard bad things about this kit in the past. People weren't exaggerating. The angle of windshield and door vent wings look terrible. It's a shame. Round 2 is reissuing this kit for Mustang's 50th Anniversary. After seeing your, even as nice of a job as you did with it, I will not be buying the reissue. Scott
webestang Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! Your right Scott....I had to glue the doors shut and they still didn't fit just right. I also don't like the fact that you can see all the way trough behind the rear tires....LOL James460...........a buddy of mine had an 1970 AMC Javlin jacked just like this one back in high school 1983. He bought it from a moonshine runner in Kentucky. The 401 V8 in it was all hopped up as well, that thing was scary fast. Anyway, I'm glad when I bought this kit it came with that cool teardrop hood in resin. Had to make shocks that would fit the jacking up......LOL Edited May 20, 2014 by webestang
bob terry Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 You've done a great job on this kit. I have to ask though, It looks to me the windshield is laid back too far, Is this an illusion created by camera angle, or is the kit itself flawed? I noticed that and I thought, that doesn't look quite right.

DavidChampagne Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Good job. Reminds me of my first car. It was a 65 Mustang. I just got a 1/16 model and will try to get s close as I can.
Jaguar man 21 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Very cool seeing this awsome build makes want to finish my 1/16 cobra, but there's plenty of kits to finish first
webestang Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Good job. Reminds me of my first car. It was a 65 Mustang. I just got a 1/16 model and will try to get s close as I can. Very cool! My first Mustang was a 68 coupe.
