4 kits bashed to make a unique 2006 Mustang Funny Car.
Chassis from Revell’s Vega dragster kit. The 429 V8 engine came from Revell/Monogram’s 1970 Boss 429 Mustang. The molded on automatic transmission was cut from the 429. The Vega’s supercharger, transmission and exhausts fit with very little modifications.
Two Revell 2006 Bullet Mustangs were chopped to make a long nosed Mustang Funny car.
What was that about measure twice, cut once? A lot of bondo and sanding coming up.
All openings were filled and smoothed.
Those plastic bread bag clips were used to join the body parts together. They are made from the same polystyrene plastic.
More body putty and sanding. I added plastic strip at the bottom because I got carried away and cut too much from one spot (maybe it’ll also help hold the body parts more securely).
The Boss 429 cubic inch (7 liter) V8 looks good. The Vega came with a 426 ci Hemi.
I used a wing from a crashed up rail dragster. I had to make a new fence from plastic sheet.
I tried protecting the windshield as I cut it for the Funny Car, unfortunately it still cracked.
White decals sheet was used to create a company sponsor with red marker. The kit is for an employee of WinCo.
Decals came from the Revell Vega and Revell/Monogram Boss 429 Mustang kits, as well as AMT kits and a fragile Slixx Decals set.
The silver strips came from an AeroMaster silver decal sheet.
The black lettering came from a sheet of stickers.
Now you can see the damaged windshield. Racing damage, yeah that’s it, racing damage.
Open wide! In hindsight I should have used a wider/stronger chassis as the modified 2006 Mustang body is very heavy.
Lots of putty, sanding, thick red paint, lots of decals followed by thick clear lacquer, helps smooth hacked up body joins.
