I can't tell from the pics on that site, but it almost looks like they smoothed the cowl.

I'm still considering doing that when I shave the antenna... sooo smooth

 

[66 BLAKE 96]

Oh I have an idea!

Lets prove to the world that we are badass custom hotrod builders by putting LeMans stripes on a Mustang!



(I'll still watch it though)

Blake,

Your sarcasm has no effect on me!

*Jedi hand wave* These are not the stripes you're looking for...

 

[one2gamble]

if you smooth the cowl where do you get the air from?>

 

[mdjay]

I mean it's clean! Nice BC wheels!

But uhhh what else looks different!

 

[mdjay]

Not too assuming on the outside, but looking further, she's got the goods...

Underneath looks awesome though!

So does the engine!

MII conversion looks good

Hahahahah!

These are not the stripes you're looking for. You can go about your business.

Move along, move along.

Perhaps it is just the lighting angle, but on that pic of the engine bay, doesnt the passenger side look like it uses black-colored (maybe anodized) fastening hardware on the fender? But across the bay on the driver side it looks polished...

the suspension is pretty hot but the paint is kind of meh

Looks painted. Even the rubber bumper look yellow.

They should have used a cleveland...then it would have been really something special.

Maybe even a 460...I mean really to go to all the work of putting in a MII and then to futz it up with the standard 351w swap is just so....well....silly.

I mean look at all the f'ing room in there, the motor just looks lost. I guess it doesn't pay the bills to not feature the sponsored products on the build.

I like the one Foose build better.

i think it's the lighting, the hood bumpers on the other side look the same color as the bolts, unless they painted tose silver too. i think the paint is pretty ugly myself, the yellow is pretty cool but the gray stripes just don't play well with it. as for the engine i think they should have done a 4.6 or 5.0 cammer or something instead of the windsor as well. but i wouldn't have used the MII suspension in the first place, call me nuts but i kind of like the shock towers in our cars myself, makes everything in the engine bay look all snug and cozy, kind of intimate looking i guess. the MII is not really built for handing anyway, it is a pretty good setup for the car it came in and i guess it's pretty cool for streetrods too, hell even drag cars, but not for a car that was built for the twistie stuff.

I see things I like, I see things I don't. I will see it get built on TV if for no other reason than to help get my own great ideas down the road, but I do not see 150k worth of car there nor do I see myself reaching for my wallet.

What particular air unit is that on the carb?? I think that is one of the hottest things on the car!
