Don't forget Maier's Mustang. That's a seriously badass gen 1 mustang, too.

Sounds like fun, Greg. Good luck on the build.

There are several cars that we've looked at for modeling.... Maiers - (we'll most likely use the fenders or flares from his family's business


https://www.maierracing.com/


I also love the shape and look of my buddy Ron Schwarz's' Mustang (he posted above) -- but those are custom built by him - I really don't care to pee away time and money on something that doesn't make the car faster or safer.... it's a track car - not a DOOM Ridler build.... If they work - and look "decent" - then it's done. SpeedTech will have to look at it and see what works best -- "mold on" or custom flares. If it was in my shop (before cancer) I'd cut to cure... but Mikes car looks pretty bad as s -- using his mold on stuff - or their 5" flared fender set ($950 for a PAIR of fenders -- that's 10 hours of labor for a PAIR of flared fenders - pretty sure you can't cut to cure a stock fender in 10 hours!).

The build is about doing some things that I just "want" to do.... it's not about anything other than that. I want a motor that doesn't need valve lash adjustment.... or that is so snotty that it should be rebuilt every year or every other year (I've chosen to have it rebuilt it every year).... I just "want" a trick sequential tranny..... I just "want" wide by huge tires.... But the finished look is just "race car". Low - wide - mean..... it's easy to get on these cars.

It WON'T be Italian Stallion... or "Eleanor" LOL
