Very nice!
I'm not usually a fan of cowl-hoods; but yours looks pretty good. All that really glares at me is the "naked" shifter. Those seats look great - what are they from?

EDIT: To add more: Wheels and tires look great; don't let anybody tell you modern rims don't "go" on a Classic Stang. And you also nailed the car's "stance".

Ditto, the only thing that stood out was the shifter, but thats an easy fix.


Looks great, I like the wheels also. Modern rims look fine as long as the offset is right and they have some dish to them. Don't see many vinyl roof cars, looks good with that color.

Looks great! I was thinking of putting that same hood/grill combo on my car with the Shelby Lower valance with the bumper still installed.

thanks for the compliament ! the hood was one of the best fitting fiberglass hoods i have found. fit was awsome with just a little trimming on lower edge of the hood at the cowl section unfortunatly the guy that made it for me is no longer in buisness that i know of . the grill was a ebay buy.

heh, dont feel bad, I still have a hole in the floor where my stock shifter was and my aftermarket one resides. Hasn't been high on the list of things to do, but I still gotta do it. These cars are never done though FYI. LOL its always something you wanna tinker with or change.

Agreed ^^^^^^^^ Biggest thing I wish I could change is my budget to tinker with and fix my pony so I can drive it.
