Here is my WIP for that challenge.

Its a 65 gt350 ...
it will have a gt500 supercharged motor.
Custom made roll cage..

the color I picked :)

That's a nice idea :D. Are going to see their models as well?

And how is the fitting of the engine, since both kits are just a tad bit different in scale 24 and 25.. :P

Good luck!

Looking good dude, i like the idea behind this one, modern technology in a timeless sixties body. love that colour as well, I've never seen another Mustang in bright orange.

Thats really cool. I really like this idea, what colour are you going for with it?

Fire Orange Lacquer for Testors

love restomod's always sorta wanted a old mustang with a newer supercharged motor in it. and im a chevy guy haha

i was going to build a copo nova kit with a cowl hood and put in an more modern engine but making it look old at the same time but i dont have the kit yet and or the parts so im out of the cbp over at the mcm forums!

Car overall I am happy with I think, some fit and finish issues with it at the end again these are 2 kits not suppose to work so surprise it didnt.
GT500 motor , suspension and some interior went into a 65' GT350...
So I present ...65 GT500 :)
