Mustang 

Using a 3D scanner, I was able to get a rough scan of my '65 Mustang. 

Currently, the mustang has been stripped of an interior, leaving a bare shell. Additionally, I have removed the engine (swap or refurbishing is undetermined) with the intention of designing a tubular space frame front end with a crumple zone, and light enough to bring the weight distribution closer to the value of 50-50 and not the current 56-44. 

(As of 7/6/2026) I currently have the 3D scan mesh body decimated, to have a more manipulatable model. And I have created surfaces from the mesh to be able to have scaled dimensions for my design so I can figure out where everything will be relocated to. 

As far as the current physical work, with the engine gone, I am removing the spot welds done by the previous owner on the front-end of the car to remove the front end completely and leave the chassis exposed. When the chassis is exposed, I will be able to model my design physically with foam/PVC, and concurrently model it within Solidworks, ensuring my design is safe through FEA, figure out the routing physically through cheap, manipulatable material, and then start final fabrication once both routing and FEA check out.
