I have always loved and followed Troys work from his first build to his present and really love his style of building, On this car and like others you can spend hours looking at the engine compartments alone the detail and craftmanship is off the charts nice. I think everyone could learn alot from his builds, I talked to him a while ago he said he almost hates unvailing a new car because the ?'s are never usually about the car its usually "What are you building next" Guess you couldnt ask for a better complimnat as a builder!

From what I can see, this car hands-down, blows away all of the over-bling'd mustangs in the other thread. I really like Troy's style, and the fact that he doesn't just build the typical '69 Camaros and '68 Mustangs.

I've always loved the '65-68 full-size cars. You just don't see enough of them done in Pro-Touring style... I just can't quite convince my brother to let me influence the build of his '68 (although I have talked him into mild chassis upgrades and overdrive... still working on the 17" and big-brake argument )

The details are fantastic. Some of the mods are extremely subtle, I had to have Moose (Brian) show a lot of them to me. It's also sporting a DSE coilover kit.

Thats truely my type of build.
Troy will always remain on my list of influentual builders.
And he will talk to anyone who approaches him. Atrue stand up guy in every way.
This car again, shows his roots but displays his experience in attention to detail.

I spent a 1/2 hour talking to Moose at a show, I think it was with the "Flashback Fastback" or some such. Great guy, and willing to talk about the car and tell you how they did things. Very cool!

Only thing I didn't like about that car was the lack of weather stripping. I guess it was a show car though, doesn't need it. Other than that, I just kept going around the car picking up different ideas. Great guys!

Troy DID build a 67 Mustang fastback that they bought off of E-bay. There must be pics of it somewhere on the web.

I took a brief look at the car on my first pass through show on Tuesday and made a point that I'd come back for a better look. I never could find the car again. I should have taken notes on it's location. Duh.
