Default project - 1966 mustang coupe (notch back)

this is a project that i have been wanting to do for many many years now, before i got into xmods. this car, when finished, will be for my dad. because its of his first car.

i dont have one of the front right now

pearl white with pink and blue accents
289 small block
custom interior (that is trash now)

my model





the front needs to be lowered some

as for paint
lexus diamond white pearl base

Your dad still has the car I'm guessing? Nice tribute project. Like I might of told I might make a tribute Mustang body because of my first car being a Mustang. Thats a cool model to, like that front end on it looks mean Does your dads have that chin spoiler on it?

I don't blame you, you would want somthing this special to look as nice as you can. I would do the same thing except my Mustang would be a lil forgiving cuz mines a pile of junk and I would proly make it look that way LOL do a proj. like texan
