Car is back from paint, and I'm slowly getting it back together.


I've been building it for about 6 months now, a few pics.

Looks like a 83-87 coupe to me

Interesting idea though.

it is. I posted a build thread on the sub-forum a few months back. The plan was to make it look like its 20 years older than it is.

The red and black looks nice, cant wait to see some pics of it all put together! That rear end looks like what ford SHOULD have done to the rear of a notchback fox....that rear end is spot on 68.
Love that flat black rear panel, kind of reminicent of 60's big block camaros, they had the tail light panel blacked out like that.

it may be a bastard, but it is a surprisingly good looking bastard! I think the paint choices made it for me.....
