It looks okay. I don't like the stance or the wheels at all. The color is also a little blah. The two tone color looks kinda odd to me. I like the shaved rear light areas. There's a lot of things about the car I dislike though. The main thing is, I've always thought that older 60s Mustangs look ridiculous on super low profile tires with huge rims.

I would take it too, but I wouldn't buy it or build it.

It IS sweet. I saw it up close at the 40th. He even filled in the cowl vents (the common cause of rust in those older stangs). Totally smooth.

It is obvious there was a lot of work done on the car, and it looks fine as hotrod. But once the properties of a classic are removed, I tend to lose interest. As for the wheels, I think they would go just fine on a '66 Impala.

In the custom restoration viewpoint this one is great.
Don't look at it in an original view, or its ugly.
I like originals better but I like well done customs. Since they ARE customs they tend to have things I don't like or agree on. Overall not a bad horse.

It's one of the better resto-mods I have seen but the more I see MODS the more I like the classic look . I think it's may have to due with the fact everone who does have a classic stang mods it now days :notnice: . I just hate the fact they will get a ULTRA Rare 66 Fast back and do something like that to it. But differnt strokes for diffrent folks I guess. Still way better that a Honda Civic with a fart canon and 100 foot wing monted one the back. Nice Job one the car.

Looks like it is running 'lean'. Notice the black above the exhaust tips!

You think they'd clean that off before taking pictures.

No you are correct. Thank you . . . I do get confused from time-to-time!!

Would running 'lean' have a yellow-ish color?

I love that body style but I don't really like the car overall. Changed too much. I'd still take it if is was a reasonable price.

I watched the build-up of that car on Rides yesterday. I can't say the car is exactly my taste, but I'd take it.

It's amazing watching what those guys can do!

Very smooth, extremely detailed. I'm not a big fan of the stance or the rims, but it's still a well-done car.
