Nice ride. Wheels and tires really set it off. Good work... What did everything set you back?

Looks good, Im not knocking it at all, but I think these things look like a million bucks just the way they are. Im having a hard time with mods because I just love the way Ford put them on the lot.

Whats in the background? The hugger Orange and roof line make me think Chevelle, the wheels look Mopar and it kind of resembles a 69 Dart.

It looks gooooood! Is there any way you can add side skirts or something like that and a rear fascia? The front end seems a tad bit lower than the rest of the car, or is it just me? Other than that it looks great!

You are right the front sits a little less than half an inch lower. I do not like anything out right now so I am in the process of building my own. Something just to blend in because I don't want to go crazy on the body mods, just enough to set it apart. I will save my money for the go fast parts.

Cervini's bumper, right? Looks great man. I was thinking about those wheels for my Magnum. Nice choice, and hard to find.

I too like the factory look. My luck I'd rip off them scoops, the other day I had to stradle somethin in the road and it still scraped the under side.

Thanks,
Yep that is Cervinis front bumper. And I have seen these wheels on a black magnum and they looked real good. It took almost three months to get these rims.
