I’ve had my 55 for 20 years now. I did most of the work originally and you can tell it was done by an amateur. I decided it was time to have it done right by someone who knows what they are doing. So about 6 months ago I bit the bullet and started the process. As part of my on-going restoration effort I’ve decided to build a few models to help me envisage what the final might look like. This is the first of those models.

 

I started with the Foose 56 F-100 kit because it’s the closest thing to where I’m headed. It has the Mustang II front suspension and a 4 link rear. Additionally the rear fenders were widened.

 

Here’s the front view. I’m considering deleting the front bumper and putting driving lights in the front facia.

Here’s the rear view showing the widened rear fenders, the roll pan and the 50 Pontiac taillights.

Here’s a shot of the engine bay.

 It’s definitely going to be the 5.0 Coyote. In order to avoid robbing multiple Mustang kits I’ve made a mold so I can make as many copies as I need.
