fuckin sick skills, custom home made shit is the best!! [patriot]

That guy has some major skills. I dont care for the look of the car to much though. Probably something that would grow on me. Like at first I hated the sn-95, but now I think they look real good.

Wow crazy good work on that car! I'm digging the exterior but the interior is pretty sick with that wheel and door panels

+1
It's a cool build..... But I would have shortened the lip on the rear so it wasn't as tall. Alot of work was put into the car and I like the end product. [patriot]

that is just badass period

Posted by wilit (Member # 3367) on :

Dude definitely has some awesome skills, but I don't think the car looks right. There's too much of a mix of years in it. Plus the side profile looks like an old school, but too stubby.

Omfg the front end on that bitch is so fuckin sick it's crazy. Dope ass project.

Posted by Pure Stang (Member # 7251) on :

That is crazy skill!!! Major props to him!

Posted by stangin' (Member # 514) on :

great craftsmanship, but i'm not feeling it. it reminds me of this:

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

Sick build and props to him for the clean ass work, but I'm not really feeling the end result. The front end looks too short and round. Maybe would've been better without the Shelby nose and dual foglights? Also, he has to swap those wheels for 03 Mach 1's or the new version Magnum 500's.

I think it's one of the worst looking cars I've seen in a while.....that said, I also think this guy is gutsy and talented to tackle something like this as a self-taught first-timer.

From the A-pillar back to the rear wing, it looks like an E30 BMW to me

Posted by foxstang (Member # 7447) on :

Talented guy but the car is ugly IMHO. If he wanted a Mach 1 he shoulda used a hatchback atleast. Or better yet, chopped and custom fabbed up a s197.

Posted by 93sspCOUPE (Member # 8418) on :

good fab work but that cars fugly!

Posted by CobramanPhil (Member # 2170) on :

First off the guy has awesome skills. The final look of the car is unique and while it might not appeal to everyone, it definitely only has to shine in the builder's eyes:). Hats off to him for making his mustang look the way he wanted it. Not many of us can do that.

What would I change..something simple..perhaps the rims. He should probably go bigger (and wider) with older school mach rims (perhaps polished as well). Other then that I would probably change the rake a bit to have the car lower in the front.

Awesome skills [worship]

Things I would change:
- sharper lines on the front fascia. (its too rounded and doesn't flow with the rigid lines of a foxbody)
- elongated nose/front bumper (too short and flat faced)
- flat trunk lid (do not care for the curved trunk lip)
- Mach 1 wheels w/ deep dish rears
- Sail panels on the rear quarter windows or maybe retrofitting older fox hatch windows.
- Cutting the hood scoop even lower (1"-1.5")

The only thing is he shoulda used a cowl hood.
