Have a pro come in and clean up the mess. Always a wise plan. :D

Are those NewGens for mock up only or are they going on?

Todd, Rodger, glad you guys are liking it. A lot of work has gone into trying to make a ford look cool, and I'm glad it is starting to pay off :lol:

Dave, I will be running New Gen Lites on the car. Jon sold the set of split 5 spoke New Gens on my Camaro, and intended to make me a set of the 10 spoke wheels he designed, but that was right before everything went south. By the time the dust settled I asked if he could just build me a set of Lites for the Mustang. I like the Team 3 Mini Lite wheels as well, especially because they have more of a step lip design to them, however, I think the New Gen Lites are the perfect blend of retro-modern for my car which will draw on a mix of past and present road racing influences :thumbsup:

Oh, and the Lites aren't anymore money out of pocket for me at this point, so that also helps keep the build moving along faster, especially now that I am starting to need parts.

Matt great job Sir! :yes: :cheers:

I was just about to ask when an update was due...

Super cool lines. Especially when you cover up all the color spots.:yes: this thing is just growing and maturing into something special. Keep the work and post comming.

Because you're so good about your updates, I'll do my best as well. Don't think mine could ever be quite as detailed. About all I can say for the last round of pictures is that Jesus had to break out the DA to sand down a bunch of my excess filler, and then put on a skim coat to smooth things out further.

Now, the pictures below demonstrate just how much of a difference nice crisp lines make. Oh, and having everything in one solid color helps a little too :D Up until now it was probably really difficult for anyone on a computer to tell what the everything looked like. I guess today is the moment of judgment. What say you guys? Love it or hate it?

Looks great! Awesome job.


Jon

Dude. That looks great. Weld building cars. You building cars. There goes the neighborhood.

Nope sorry I don't like it, I think you should scrap the whole thing and start with a different car.

Tell you what Matt I will send a truck to pick it up and get it out of your way?? Sound good??? :unibrow:





Ok I like it!!! :cheers: Great job!!! :cheers:

Looks great, nice work!:thumbsup:

:cheers:
Dan

Thanks guys!

Nah, I wouldn't say the neighborhood has gone to sh** until you start building cars in your garage. I guess that could be sooner than I previously thought since you now have a garage. Just promise me you won't turn into Todd. One is all the world needs, and we might just have gotten another one, Vega$69 :lol:

Rick, if you send a truck, I will make sure it doesn't head back empty. I have quite a pile of Mustang sheetmetal lying around at this time. almost enough to build another car. Some assembly required. Quality fitment not guaranteed.
