Got it down on the wheels don’t want to wrack the new ones so put old on. I painted the inners of the doors and the door seal. Put doors and fenders on, primed the custom parts so they look better. Put the whole dash in. and FIRED IT UP. Yes that’s right it ran a year later no problems. The exhaust sounds 100x better then the stock did. Sry no video of it I forgot to get the camera was to excided. I also cold cured the hood scoop down don’t got pics ill post those when it looks better.

More pictures

I love the look of the ducktail spoiler...it has that '68 GT/CS flavor to it being molded on the car Also like the look of your rear side vents as well. Keep up the great work and am looking forward to your future progress and posts

i think he might have meant, you are messing your car up?! if so, no offense, but i have to agree. i don't really like it. but it's not mine, so if it suits you, good job. be ready for some negative, as well as good comments...just my .02...

He can more than likely say that he has a one of a kind Stang as he won't have the run of the mill cosmetic mods as alot of us do. It would also be cool to see it in a non S197 offered color as well(just as long as it's not too wild ). I always did like the purple they had in '94. I got extra bored one day and changed mine to a very similar shade...To me that would be a cool color for a custom paint job.

I like the Vista Blue much better. But, hey, whatever does it for you.

Damn, those pictures really make me wish I had a better job so that I could afford a garage.... Beautiful work. I assume it's mostly fiberglass you're dealing with? Either way, keep it up!

And Kooldawg6, that purple looks surprisingly good. Not quite as cool as the old Plum Crazy Mopars, and perhaps not even as good as my Vista blue, but I actually really like the looks of that purple. With some white stripes it could look pretty killer. I'd attempt it in photoshop if the results didn't look like a monkey did it (as they likely would....)

I absolutely love my Vista Blue as well IF I ever had a chance and could afford a second S197, I might have it painted purple, but my dream is to build a Shelby Daytona Coupe kit car.

I believe you already said this. Stirring the pot?

nope, i was replying to someone who replied to me. but as with all things, if the owner is happy with it, that is all that matters. i don't see the harm in saying that. and i don't look at it as stirring anything...
