We made custom brake styling scoops, but unfortunately the body shop that was to paint the car cut them out and sent them home in a box for us, replacing it with their own. Unfortunately, their own version looks like 68 shelby scoops, and the car is a 67. I liked ours better, but whatever. Needless to say, they didnt paint the car, and we had to shoot the engine bay and chassis so we could carry on !!! We also made a custom spoiler, and put a sheet metal shelby tail light panel on.

First of all I love your project. Im a huge mustang fan and im doing a 65 Coupe right now. I like your out of the box thinking. Im tired of all the aftermarket mustangs looking the same because the same 3 parts are available to everyone. So awesome job! My real question is how did you make the side scoop alteration. I tried to get a pretty good fab guy to do that exact thing to mine about a month ago and they tried but cant find a way to do it with out making the spike be separate from the body instead of molded and seamless?
