Hey everybody, first time posting here with a question... I recently saw somebody change their body on their 2015 mustang to look like the 67 GT500 (Eleanor... Iykyk) so my questions are:
1) anybody know if it can be done on a convertible?
2) anybody know of companies that do it or is it not a thing?

Thanks and hopefully I get some positive responses!!!

Anything can be done if you have enough money to do it, if you have the skills and tools you can do a lot of the work yourself and save a ton of money. The easiest and cheapest way would be acquire a 67 convertible put on the Eleanor body kit, and then put it a modern driveline, suspension, and brakes. But to body swap a 67 vert shell onto a modern chassis is a lot of work. There is a guy on another mustang forum who took a 2006 mustang shell, put in a 2018 dash and all the wiring and a 2018+ 10R80 auto trans and a godzilla engine out of a 2020+ superduty. Ho took his time and did everything himself and it all works like ford built the car. BTW he wanted the 10 speed auto and there is no aftermarket controller for that trans so he had to run a 2018+ mustang computer just to control that trans, that computer also was designed to run a gen 3 coyote, not a godzilla but he custom tuned it himself to make a coyote ECU run a godzilla. Here is the entire build thread if you want a good read https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/s197-hybrid-2006-mustang-with-s550-guts.184284/
