Your work is looking good Matt. Pretty good for a guy who is just "hangin' out". :D

Dave and I saw a cool looking 65ish stretched Mustang with 315's all around at Sonoma Raceway. I forgot my camera at home. Hopefully Dave got a pic and can post it. :unibrow:

Looking down the side of that car from the top, is like Deja VU. Looks good, its funny once you get use to looking at the swollen version, the Ford version doesn't look right anymore.

I know I've posted elsewhere, but I want to reiterate that your car was a major inspiration getting me into all of this mess. The more I looked at your car, and the more I looked at the foam fender flares I sculpted for mock up, the more I knew that giving the car some curves was the only way to go.

Your car has, hands down, the best stance on any early Mustang. I really wanted to raise the front wheel opening too, but I didn't want to rip you off that blatantly. :lol: Everything else I've done has just been an attempt to further evolve the design. Well, the side vents I made as much out of laziness as anything else, I figured it would take me forever to stretch the metal in the middle of the doors, and rebuilding all of the body lines to stock appearance would have been hell. They also draw attention to the fact that the car is 2.25" wider than stock, and I wanted some of my hard work to be noticed, haha.

Yeah, well, it definitely beats "working" for the family business this past year, which would have consisted of sitting in on meetings and doing everything that accounting thought was beneath them:lol: I did that for a number of years and this is way more fun. I even managed to get a few of them off my back after they randomly saw me on TV whilst channel surfing passed SEMA coverage :lol:

Little bit more progress has been made. DSE parts also shipped out today. I definitely have more of an appreciation for custom fabrication by the day. Jesus has been going back and tidying up all of my work on the passenger side of the car, as I finish up the metal work on the driver side. It is amazing what a difference a little bit of skill and experience will do. He has been getting the lines on the car pretty nice and crisp, and has also been "adding lightness" by removing extra filler than I had on the car.

It's really cool to see you get out there and give things a try. Not being scared to give something a try is the biggest battle.

It's only metal it can be fixed if you screw it up.
