As some of you know i entered my car into a charity carshow for one of my students, i spent all night getting the car ready, dropping her another 3" waxing her, etc here are the pics from today












I didnt win best work in progress because some ricer crew crashed the event and all voted for this one dude in their crew (POS civic in primer with rims) but i did have alot of members of COCA, and other mustang guys come up and tell me they voted for me and wanted me to join there road course clubs, needless to say i was speachless who would have thought that a car this uncompleted would draw so much attention, i can tell you this though it was the greatest feeling to look up throughout the day and see a consistent crow standing around my car flipping through my scrap book made the last 19 months of pain sweat and sleepless nights completely worth it, i may not have won any awards but i did achieve an awesome goal, tell me what you guys think

Car looks really good. It's ok about not winning an award, I'm sure you have plenty of fans right here including me.

Did you use a different camera in the first picture than the rest of them? The first one seems higher resolution.

But yea, it's hard to beat a tastefully done fox body, such as yours.

The stance on your car is perfect IMO & I love the way the car looks ... BUT, with the car sitting that low, the geometry has to be all out of whack, I don't see how it will handle well? Look at all the cars that actually road race with MM setups, they sit much higher than that & actually don't have nice stances at all. MM says the optimum ride height for good handling on a stang is 1"---1.5" lower than stock.... Your car looks to be lowered at least 3" or more?

That being said though, I have a full MM setup on my 03 Mach & it really doesn't handle all that great because I chose looks over handling since I love the look of a slammed stang....
