I talked to Colton (pic'd in the apron) who has been living at Eckert's lately. They have pieces in the body shop while metal fab is still going. My car has been sitting in his personal garage for the last couple months

Great fab work on the 'Stang. Looks awesome and the lines flow great.

Man, I've always had a thing for this car. :hail:

This is no ordinary C-10. Take a look at the build thread.

WOW! :thumbsup:

A quick Photoshop of Carbon Kustoms entry at the Optima this year... The car features a full carbon front clip, custom built 3pcs one off Ralley rims, DSE sub-frame, Ride tech triple coil-overs and a 475ci stroker CV-1 canted head Pontiac Holley injected pump gas motor.... Looks the part of stock but far from it....

Ron's Mustang and Albert's new bird = :woot: :thumbsup:

Hope to make it there and see these beasts! :cheers:

Shame on people that don't like import cars...

:lol:


Glad you keep buildin 'em Albert and bringing them into the U.S. of A.

A+ on those specs too. :thumbsup:

I look forward to seeing this car,,,, awesome fabrication work to say the least....

Cars built at his level blow my mind,,, only wish I had the pocket book to do one as I think they'd be out of my snack bracket for sure...

For the FIFTH time Bad Penny will be at SEMA.. COMP/Falken asked to use my car at some sort of industry dinner on Wednesday night.

What's the record for a car attending SEMA?? lol

Look forward to seeing all of you there! :thumbsup:

you gotta be close Steve! :lol: Congrats.

Better get it over to Best of Show for a complete 60 day thrash makeover.... :woot:


Congratulations Steve... see ya there!

Al, That 69 Mustang has got to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life.

Beyond Gorgeous!

The mid-engined Mustang looks incredible! However I'm not sure on the wheels - I guess I'll have to hold judgement until the car is done.

http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/638.gifIt has wheels I didn't even notice http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/638.gifhttp://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/1273.gifhttp://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/1273.gif

:cheers:

That's the best you can do?

Actually I think the wheels really round out the look of a modern vehicle. They do look like they came off of a Ferrari but I definately think it works with the new lines


Al... have you guys scaled the car? I'm curious how the weight balances out?

Is there a rendering for that 69 Mustang? Would love to see what color/design you plan to paint her!

I think the wheels are hot ! They are a modern billlet interpretation of the original '69 Mach 1 wheels. Maybe you are thinking the 5 spokes shown on the mock up are the final wheels ?

Those are just mock up wheels.

I agree

By the way guys, I posted a link on the original post with a link to the build where you can see all the pics.

It just needs these wheels and be done with it! :D

^^ You got that straight.

Yep ^^^^ do it!!

The Mustang is over the top impressive! :thumbsup:

..........for a Ford. :D

Awesome vision and work! :cheers:

That mustang is awesome, but those wheels are going to kill it, way to "street rod". :(

Tim Katz's Nova Wagon will be in the Turbonetics booth.

Nope, I was talking about the one-off's. Sitting in their box they just aren't working for me... but again, I'll wait to see what the total package looks like!

http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/...AL7319/8-2.png

The ONLY guy that needs to like them..... the owner. :D

X2. :)

Touche'!:thumbsup:

Al, go ahead and add "1970 Punishment Charger" to the list!

It's ok if I like them also right...:_paranoid

Since I'm selling the car next year to fund my next project.. I guess the answer is yes.. lol

Gonna drive her there and home.. Oh, and I just won a spot into the Optima Invitational.. go figure.. Too bad the car is saddled with me as a driver. ;)

Nice. and nice!

She needs a good going out party in style. Congrats. :thumbsup:

Back to this awesome Mustang Mach 40 or whatever its called I have a customization question.

When you open the door, there is kind of critical clearance as it swings inside the front fender. I think this is especially pronounced on a car that has a distinct character line in the door like the Mustangs.

It might seem like a dumb question (and can probably only b answered by experimentation) but when you widen the doors like that, do you guys think that the hinges would need to be offset the same 2" off the body as well, to maintain the normal arc of the door ?

I've studied every picture on Eckert's site and none show the modified door without the front fender on, so I can't tell if they had to move the hinge.

They didn't answer my email but I don't blame them I wouldn't waste my time giving away secrets to fanboi emails either !
