Reeves Racing Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 This is a car I wish I had in real life. A 65 Mustang fastback with the underpinnings of a 99 Mustang Cobra. IRS, Modular V8, 4 wheel discs with ABS, A/C and great sound system. I used a Monogram/Revell 65 Mustang kit and raised the wheel arches about an 1/8 of an inch to give it a channeled look. I used the front of the Revell 99 Mustang Cobra chassis to get the newer suspension and grafted the Cobra IRS to the 65 rear portion of the chassis. The interior is the 65 tub with the 99 door panels, dash and seats. The hood has the scoop from the AMT 427 66 Fairlane only turned around like a cowl scoop. The grill is PE. The wheels and tires are from the Revell Cobra Series II (the OldsmoCobra) kit. The engine and transmission are from the 99 Mustang kit. The color is Model Masters Hemi Orange with Wet Look Clear. I started this project in 09 and just now got it finished tonight.

MeatMan Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Really nice work. Like the real thing! IR suspension, new dash, & updated engine. You even put cats on it!
Maindrian Pace Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Very nice, reminds me of the Julian Brothers '65, which was all Terminator inside and underneath.
Reeves Racing Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks guys. Mike I think that is the car that gave me the inspiration. Here is the picture that got me started.
