Mach C - a "66 Mustang" Built for turning
 

well, i'll keep the long story short. My other Mustang was totaled on the way back from the body shop. I got screwed by the 2 transporters and my insurance. so, i had to continue on a TIGHT budget.

What is the best performance chassis for the cost? I'd argue a LONG time that the C5 corvette is just this. so, i bought one.

I also really wanted the early Mustang coupe styling, like my last build// :censored:

Halloween 2021 I bought Elizabeth, the 66 notchback (aka coupe) and the C5 running chassis.

Many months later, the two are merging. I will probably put more pics of this later, but we will start here.

VERY cool project. :thumbsup:

This looks like fun. Not sure I have seen someone do this combination. Good luck with it!

Yep, This is a great idea and I can't wait to see more updates

i started taking A LOT of measurements. I originally thought i would just buy the parts and make my own frame, rectangular steel, but the more i measured, the more i saw that the Mustang would just FIT right into the C5 chassis.

so, i built a cart for the 66 and started cutting off the extra sheet metal, basically as it turns out, anything except the outer shell was cut off.

Interesting....

watching with anticipation, going to be cool

Looks good!

it was quite a bit of work to get all the little pieces of sheet metal that were not needed off the shell. but hammering and cutting was kinda fun!

That had to be a ton of work and I am certain your ears are still ringing
