cobraman Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 This will be the next model I will be working on. Have built this kit a couple of times before but want to do something different. Not sure what that will be but I am going for more of a street freak than a drag car. We shall see.
Belair2k Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Is that the one with the old Nova "chassis"?
vintagercr Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I believe so and the wheelbase is off. Not a hard fix?
cobraman Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Chassis is the same as on all the AMT AWB cars and yes the wheelbase is a tad short but is easy to correct.
slusher Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Another awesome subject Ray. Are you going to use the kit interior tub or try a different one???
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Looking forward to seeing what you do on this. One suggestion would be to modify the interior so that there are two separate tire tubs. The single has never looked right to me.
cobraman Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Another awesome subject Ray. Are you going to use the kit interior tub or try a different one??? Going to use stock tub but change seats at least. Maybe other stuff as I get into it.
cobraman Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Did a mock up of what I have done so far.
bonehead23 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Nice work! I built one of these right out of the box, and when I got the reissue i decided to go outside the box, and put a 69 Corvair body on the chassis. i cut the quarters off the Mustang and carefully grafted them onto the corvair to correct the wheelbase, resulting in an altered Corvair. Check the post, "World's fastest Corvair?" for details. Edited February 12, 2015 by bonehead23
cobraman Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Mustang is done. Photos in the "Under Glass " section soon.
