Not to mention the feel, sound of a cam'd out V8 is intoxicating. And now that you can really make them drive like a bimmer... but still have that OG look... and when done right... its game over. Looks, sound, acceleration..ect.
Not to mention... I am apart of a business that specializes in making them fast...

I would like to see the DC Shoes parking lot some time. Just don't let Ken Block get a hold of the keys or this might happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs-jA...x=0&playnext=1

The car looks awesome, the fender lines look great and I am a big fan of center exit exhaust systems.

Just wanted to say thank you for the post, you took time to answer all of the comments and questions... and it will be great to see a car that is actually done like the rendering for once....

great job, and great thread

That wheel opening line definitely makes the car. It is in a lot of renderings because it really changes the look and makes the car more aggressive. You never see it actually carried out because it is labor intensive and it takes skill to do it. Good to see some one go outside the '69 mold and try something cool on the car. 1/4's, bumpers, and exhaust are trick too.

...or you sell your 70 Mustang and build a tube chassis Porsche with a 525HP SBC engine - best of both worlds Next car will be a 70 fastback again tho'

back OT - I agree with others about the flares, the lines of the 69 really lend to doing a flare and your car executes it very well and I too think they blend great Will be a rad car to see progress on! I like the front spoiler in the rendering as well, but I tend to really like spoilers on old muscle cars (BTW, the front piece is a spoiler, not splitter... splitters are parallel to the ground and extend forward to create downforce)
