Finally finished the stang and I'm quite proud of it. Did all the work myself with little experience prior to the build. I had some help with the paint. Let me know what you think. The first pic is in winter of 2005.

The door panels are a work in progress. I tend to get a little happy with the aluminum and pop rivets.

I was somewhat going for the Mach 1 look. I'm a big fan of satin black on cars. I didn't want the car to be 1 solid color.

The stock parts that I reused were the block, crank and rods. I had everything inspected as well as the crank polished and the cylinders bored .030". I used Diamond Racing forged aluminum pistons for the application. H/C/I = Trick Flow Twisted Wedge / Trick Flow Stage 1 Cam / Trickflow Track Heat Intake. Edelbrock 70mm tb, C & L 76mm maf w/ pipe, 30# injectors, 255lph fuel pump, kirban afpr, procomp billet distributor, MSD 6a ignition, BBK longtubes, Flowmaster catback. I think that's it, uh... I'm starting to lose track. This photo is prior to the aluminum rad and electric fan install.

woooh that thing was rough before, I dunno why it looked so rough it just did.

It looks friggen great now, I love the colour and the flat black on the hood looks great! I'd tint the windows now and it'll look even sweeter.

love everything but the rims. mabye take a flapper wheel to the lip of them to shine the lip up. that'd break up the black between the tires and wheels.

awsome job though. VERY unique

I dunno if I would have chopped up a black interior car like that, but it is nice, I like the exterior, definitally a cool look.

I hear you on chopping up the interior. If it had been in decent shape I would have left it. Problem was that it was in really bad shape. The door panels were bad.

I really like the trickflow setup. I don't have much to compare it too but it was a huge power gain from the stock setup. It sounds mean as hell too. I have no complaints.

Reminds me of how much i hate winter time. Looks really good man, well done. I dont know how you deal with a street car and no stereo, but i suppose the exhaust is enough.

looks good! I, personally, dont care for the "wrist-rests" or the dark wheels.

And the wing....i think would have "fit" much better with just the top inside painted flat black...never seen that before

I don't miss the radio at all when I'm driving. The car is so noisy it would kind of defeat the purpose. The wrist rests do look cheesy but it was necessary to cut them down because they interfered with the door bars. The bars angle out toward the door slightly and then bend back toward the center of the car. This was to allow plenty of room for the seats.
