Altered Ego

Finally, the weather cooperated enough for me to get the first one done. The Rice Holman Ford Mustang Pro Stocker. I started with the Revell Boss 302 Mustang and added Moebius' great 427 Cammer. The Old Pro kit donated the hood scoop (cut down to a more realistic height), ladder bars, wheels and slicks. The inner headlights were filled with the aluminum inserts from the Moebius AWB Plymouth kit. The decals are from Polecat.

The decals are from Polecat. The entire build is pretty much the Moebius Comet and a Polar Lights Mustang funny car. I cut the floorboard out to simulate the engine being 28" back. I used the doghouse from the PL funny car to make the firewall assembly. I believe there is a picture with the hood off way back on page 1.

I was finally able to get some time and the weather to cooperate to finish this one. This is the same Custom Speed Comet from above but with the correct Jack Chrisman body. Thanks to everyone that guilted me into redoing this one. I love how it turned out.

Southern Motorsports Hobbies, I believe I bought them on ebay.

Call me crazy, but I think it looks even better with the primer hood. Totally something you would see back in the day.

Positively speechless

Good eye my friend. I thought it would be a modification someone would try back in the day. Adding a box plenum to the cammer manifold.

Got some work done on the Rice Holman Mustang as well. The cammer fits rather snugly, but it does fit.

Making some progress on the Missile and thought I would share a couple of items. Decided to push the rules and go with a Lenco transmission. Thanks to RacheroSteve for providing the gold anodized Lenco shifter (perfect for this project). I also went with aluminum bucket seats. The wheel tubs from any AMT altered wheelbase kit fit perfectly and you can cut along the frame rail kick to get the perfect tread width with the wider slicks.

The Joneic decals are from Polecat and applied nicely. The hood on the missile is from Slixx, a Competition Resins piece. Required a little sanding on both sides to fit correctly.

Got the first two painted, decaled and mocked up today.

I found this and my have some other stuff to go with it.

I have at least one of those frames with some additional parts. Tell about the Boss 429 engine.

I've already done the Dyno Don Cougar, but I will give you a hint on the Cammer. Your Ed Terry and Dave Lyall Mustangs inspired me build this one.

Taking a break from Altered Wheelbase for a little bit. Started three new Pro Stocks this weekend and though I would share a sneak peak into what I am planning.
