i wasn't a fan of reactor at all. the roll bar thing and the reactor things all over kinda made me think 16 year olds honda. bad ass car no doubt, but didn't seem to flow for me. the black mustang with the funny hood was really nice. it was diffrent and they took a challenge building it and i think it was a real nice car minus the hood. the 2 tone one was really nice, but like was said the wheels sat to far inside the car. the ammount of carbon fiber and high dollar parts made it a real nice car to me. the floors being carbon and the clear floor in the back really set it off. but all said and done, i didn't really like stuff about all 3 of them. no offence to anyone, they could all out build me anyday, but thats all my opinion.

black and silver one got my vote, It need a little more sidewall on the tires though, all are works of art though! Sweet Cars

Silver and black stang "Rosie"
 
Thanks guys wish I had a little more time to finish it. will be done soon and on the streets. No one makes a taller tire size that would have been that wide for the car 305/25-19 to mate with the 345/25-20 rear sometimes we are limited by manufactures. the tires were really sunk into the carpet aswell doesnt look so bad on hard ground.

No need to appologize.. that car was bad-ass. Everyone is going to have something they would change or do different. If that wasn't the case all of our cars would look alike.. lol

I dug the interior on it.. I will post a pic I took tomorrow. Again, nice job.

this is exactly why i pointed out the pros/cons on all the examples, i usually try to find good points...even if i dont like the overall package. on the black and silver stang, i was "reaching" for a negative...because overall i really dig the whole car.

Race Rodz thanks alot, I was supposed to stay in Vegas and shoot for a bunch of magazines but wanted them to wait till i finish the car and can have it driving for the shoots. would have liked to have finished it for the SEMA show but did not want to compromise the car had to rush it to much as it was but really glad we made it to the show with it people really liked it and liked the fresh look. would have been nice to run for some of the awards but they said you can not win if the car is unfinished.

Bring it next year done. props to you guys for making the trip even though the car was not done!

you built a awesome car hotrods. don't let anyone tell you diffrent. my question is about Obsidian tho. how did it shift? or was it all done on the screen?

hot rod, the car absolutely kicks a**. all the mustangs were amazing, but rosie stood out for several reasons. first for a relatively unknown guy the quality of your work and functionality of the car was reminicent of trepaniers work. i looked under the car and unlike most of the cars there , i saw a full smooth belly pan. the reactor is an amazing car too and ispent a long time admiring the workmanship there but i have to admit 500 hp just isnt exciting.i know some guys say its enough ,but i drive a 750 hp car and sometimes even at that i need more. also a 5 spd w/o overdrive is really limiting . the obsidian mustang is the only mustang that i saw that really compared ( looks, performance, engineering , etc).what a beautiful car. looks alittle like Kona from last year ( another beautiful ). overall best mustang imo goes to rosie -HANDS DOWN.

I would say Ring Bros won with reactor since they won the Ford award and another that slips me at the moment.
