2005 mustang nose on classic mustang - has it been done?

wildstang · May 1, 2008

I thought I saw a picture of a classic mustang with a 2005+ mustang nose grafted on but can't seem to find it. It would be a lot of work but I think it would look really good. Thanks for any help.

The Mustang Gateway Classics did for Sammy Hagar has a similiar look from the bumper to the lower valence.

I really like the looks of that, any more pics of that car or others? Thanks.

Try looking on the Gateway Classics site.

I remember a S197 with classic fenders, doors, quarters in one of the magazines last year. Cant remember which issue though. I believe it was in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. Absolutely incredible..

How about the JME car http://corner-carvers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=617649&postcount=6

That is an awsome car. Make those honda boys run and hide behind moma.

Might be kind of cool if there were a way to give the 94-04 stangs a more classic nose. Any photoshoppers out there?

That JME car looks astonishing!

I've seen it done not too long after the S197's came out. It was just the nose itself, on a 68 fastback, it was a racecar at FFW. I asked him about it and he said that he had something like a few hundred man hours of work into it for it to look good.

68stang351, who was it you talked to, any website for it?

That sounds like an interesting challange, here's a halfarsed 15 min lunch time attempt.

This one?

Someone on another board mentioned that the measurements are very close between the two noses and shouldn't require much work.

Looks like the Ring Brothers have some serious competition coming, that car is almost unrecognizable.

That car is called Obsidian, was rolled out in 2006 SEMA. Twin Rotrex superchargers, Bigstuff 3 fuel injection, 6 speed, paddle shifted manual trans, custom 9", RRS complete suspension and r&p, and about a thousand or so custom made parts. Scary fast and very dangerous. The car isn't dangerous but the people rubbernecking to get another look can be deadly.

There are hundreds of hours involved in making the 2005-up front facia work on a 67 fastback. But, if interested, Autoworks International made molds of all the parts so they can make bolt on parts for your cars.

I don't work for Autoworks but I was involved peripherally with much of the build process.

Amazing car, I don't really car for the hood but I understand why it there.

Pakrat, awsome job with the photo shop, if you hadn't said that I would of thought it was real. Could you photo shop the 05 front end of a gt and the shelby cobra 500 onto a 65 mustang? Thanks if you can.

I'll look around for some pics and see if I can find something. The toughest part is finding both subjects at the same angles to graft them together.

Don't know his name, it was a while back, it was a white 68 Fastback. It was at FFW Ennis. So he might be from tx or ok.

Here's my first crack it, I did with grill too, way harder than I thought though, the dimensions do not compare at all. I'll try another with just the lower valance.

I'd be easier if you use a 67 and up, the 64 1/2-66 are not as wide as the later models
