Really cool Matt.:thumbsup:

That's hilarious, my buddies old 90 Mustang used to have one, we used to call it the gynecologist light :lol:

I saw this car last night. Very nice. Congrats :cheers:

are you at the Playboy mansion again?????? :yes:

Jody

Here are a couple details that make it the "Anvil" Mustang. We remade the gas cap center piece in Solidworks and made the middle part with the Anvil icon instead of the running horse, then had it CNC'd out of polycarbonate. We did the same for the horn button only smaller and without the border detail.

Nice details Matt!! :thumbsup:

Thanks Charley! It was nice to chat and hang out a bit with you last night. Interesting event for sure!
Here's a little taste for those who weren't there.
Girls checking in at the Bevery Hills Hilton where we started off and where we later caught a shuttle to the Mansion.

.....life is rough....

Forget about "Cars and Coffee", what was this event?:wow:

And all this time I thought Tyler was a baller because he had his own action figure complete with blue hair and Anvil t-shirt. However, you sir, have managed to one up him.

I'm going to go ahead and admit that I must have a problem. I was a little disappointed after that last batch of pictures... Where is the Mustang?

Matt

The woman in the center is Tammy Allen. She owns the Sonny and Cher Mustangs in the pic that Barris built. Nice lady. Her brother is Mark Allen. Mark owns "Mine that Bird" the horse that won the Kentucky Derby last year as a 50-1 long shot. Mark was there also. That was a amazing race..

LOL---yeah, where are the Mustand pics? We don't have time for crap like this---SEMA is coming.

Doug

Okay I think you need to borrow my friends Anvil for your Debut. I assure you people won't walk past it.

Marty,
I need that huge Anvil. I can tow it behind the Mustang, ha, ha!

Here's the car at the mansion waiting to be unveiled. The cover is comliments of California Car Cover who made a custom car cover without the elastic on the bottom for unveiling the car. You can see Charley's Jackass in the background (somehow that doesn't read quite right).

Man!! Where do I sign up?!?! Hot ladies and killer cars?!:wow: :cheers: :cheers:

OK, I hate to be a tease like the Playboy girls, but I have to leave something for SEMA. I will however show you some more tidbits.
Here's a shot of the windshield sign at the mansion

Here's me and my better half (who needs Playboy chicks?) standing in front of the unveiled Mustang at the Playboy mansion. You can see some of the car in the background (to prove it was there and complete).

Here the two girls with painted on bikinis are getting ready to do the unveiling. Unfortunately, this shot came out dark, sorry.

Matt.... everything about your last two posts were "teases" :lol:

OK, back to the details then.
These are the front brake duct cooling bezels. I first carved a foam pattern by hand with a lot of back and forth trial fitting to the front valance until I had something I was satisfied with. Then I handed it over to one of my designers who recreated it in Solidworks and made a mirrored version for the other side. We then printed them out on our 3-D printe and cleaned them up. Once I fitted them again, I tweaked them some more until they fit really nice. I then made the screens and put them together with the ducts that one of Steve's guys made by modifying the original turn signal buckets welding on steel tubing on the back and blending the transition.

Here's a closer shot of one side.

WOW...looks really nice..
What material did you print them out of?
Cant wait to see the car!

MaTT --

After seeing these photos -- I think I liked you a lot better when you were covered with sanding dust and sweat (kind of the corn dogged look) ... and looked like "one of us"!

:rofl: :rofl:


:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

One word. Awesome !

Can't wait to see in person. Great attention to detail!

I almost made a joke about you having to upgrade your photobucket bandwidth after posting the mansion pictures up a few days ago. Looks like you just might have to upgrade after all.

Looking forward to seeing it in two weeks.

Matt

i'll second that...

Sorry about the lack of band width problem. It's fixed now! So, now on to some more detail shots.
Here's the one and only Steve Stanford doing the pinstriping on the edge of the rear stripe.
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...g/Oct15052.jpg

Here's the rear end taped off for pinstriping, but otherwise done except for the rear glass. Luckily NPD in Ventura was open until 9 PM on Friday or we wouldn't have had rear glass for the mansion. The glass guy didn't realize that his supplier gave him the wrong back glass until about 5:30 Friday night! Yikes! NPD had it in stock, so he went and picked it up.

The car looks great.

That car looks great in those colors! Can't wait to see it!!

Looking awesome!:thumbsup:

Here the 345s are being fit to the rear axle. The widened quarters and agressive wheels and tires might be the sexiest thing on this car.
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...g/Oct15022.jpg

Yeah MaTT -- Right up until your wife jumps in!!


:unibrow: :rofl:

I will agree, but I love the level of detail in both cars.

Just about a Week to go.:cheers:

VERY NICE!!!:yes:

Who makes the rotors for this car?

I'm guessing Baer. If they look weird to you it is probably because the hats had to be made to fit the hubs on the floater, which brings me to my next question Matt. I know you guys probably haven't had time to get it passed a basic rolling/driving state, but I'm curious how easy it was to set the full floater up. Oh, and I feel like I remember hearing that you're running electric power steering. I'd be interested in hearing your impressions on these items once you get everything working.

Matt

I'll have to agree with you there! I've been spending so much time with the car, I think my wife is getting a little jealous. She's actually been a real trooper during the whole process.

Yeah, Baer.
