Here are some EARLY photos of Greg Weld's 70 Mustang the front end. I say "early" because we've made changes & advancements to it since these. But you'll get to see the progression this way. I'll show the changes we made & why we made them.

Early stages of front end customization. You can see where the front end has been widened 3" on each side for a total of 6" wider. This is all to widen the track width & make room for 335/30/18 Hoosier Slicks all the way around.



The top red circle shows where the Ford style is shaped into the nose. We'll be removing that ... smoothing & rounding the nose ... and making the hood flat in front of the eventual 4" cowl hood scoop.

The red circle on the bottom is just to point out that the air dam mocked up here is NOT going to stay that shape. It will also be rounded. Gotta start somewhere.



This photo shows the rear of the body shell after it was widened 6" & re-gel coated.
Yes, those are 69-70 Shelby Tail Lights. The actual lights will be LEDs.




This is a good photo showing what the factory tail panel kick up looked like. If I left this as is, it would seriously affect airflow off the back of the car. So we leveled it out as you can see in the second photo.

You put the ramp down --- line her up --- rev it to 4,000 and dump the hammer. Nuthin' to it.

Wow looks awesome! If this had a aluminum Boss 9 in it that would be my dream car.
