I just don't get it? What's the fascination with grafting these onto a vintage Mustang? Just makes it look "droopy-eyed" to me. :scratch: What am I not seeing?

 

AFAIK its been done once... and I think it will stay that way. I think those guys have gone too far with a lot of these things. You should not be spending so much time in the wreck yard looking for how many different pieces you can graft in. There's a line you can't cross and they have...

 

Yeah, they did them on the Red Vert, and then again on the Grey car pictured above. You'd think they would've "learned" the first time!

 

Totally agree. There are some interesting things on the Ring cars, but the total package is way over the top. I'm betting those cars will be the bench mark for going too far. People will use them for inspiration, but likely will not take it to that level.

 

It happened in the seventies when people where customizing their cars (oh excuse me restmoding) People start getting carried away, thats what killed it in the 70's and of course creative "geniuses" will probably kill it now.

 

Age check!

How many are old enough to remember Rick Dobbertin's J2000? That was the beginning of the end of pro-street...

 

Love the side vents & exhaust on the FB and the rear valance on the 'vert but those lights just don't look right.

 

Pro-Street was the "rice" of the 80's.

Rick who's what?

I used to be one of those guys when I first got my stang I wanted a full up resto-mod. Over the years I have come to appreciate the look of the mustang and believe that just being a classic mustang is good enough. I stand out in a crowd without having to over mod it.

 

While we are on topic, can anyone lead me to a website that I can find out the paint code info for that gunmetal color the Ring boys are using? My search's have come up with nothing.
