I have a new dilemma. I can't decide whether to basically leave the body stock, or customize with chrome bumpers and different tail lights and front end treatment etc. I am torn between not messing with a pretty clean body, and also detracting from the engine and trans mods, or going the whole deal and modding it all. I have some pretty tasteful ideas in mind, but once i do it there is pretty much no return.
So
plan 1
is to leave the body stock except for fibreglass hood and mid tuck bumpers along with stock front and rear spoilers.
Plan 2
is to do the same as plan 1 but add 70 torino taillights, flatten the back panel and get rid of the licence plate recess, fill in the marker lights and replace with 69 camaro markers all around, section a rear bumper off a 67 camaro on the back and use a lower valence off a 70 maverick, Use a modified 74 nose piece and a sectioned 1965 mustang front bumper with a 70 maverick front valence and a modified 69 mustang front spoiler.
What is the opinions out there on body mods? am I cheapening the result? There is something to be said for the stock look carrying a lot of power aka Sudden Death,
Or, help the Mustang II with some areas of obvious improvement aka bumpers nose and taillights that scream for re=design.
thoughts?
