My car; when done!

I am very proud of this chop as it is probably the best one of mine to date (not saying much). But here is almost exactly what I would love to have my car look like when done. Too bad no one makes half the crap on it.

Wow! If I were to see that in my rear view, I'd move to the right for sure!

That forward slant looks mean and reminds me of the 60's and 70's with the "jack up the back" look with air shocks or whatever. Me likes it!

That looks awesome! I like the louvers in the hood! Now the question is, how much of that is actually your car?

You're going to pull roll bars in the back?

yes I have clear lenses on mine, I didnt chop those in and I also didnt chop in the A47 mirrors and the limo tint all around.

the problem is that the hood, front bumper, side skirts, wheels, and grill all dont exist yet!

Well actully the parts exist, it's just that they are impossible to get unless you know someone with access to the Ford Raceing parts. Which someone here might just know someone or a way to order them. But I bet they would be expensive and technically illegal because they are usually Off-Road Use ONLY. But hey once you have that figured out no problem! But it would be sweet if you could get them for your street car.

I also like that front slant look. I wonder if you were to put lowering springs in the front only if it would give that effect and how it would handle?

i think that would be too extreme, I would try going with either coilovers so you can adjust the heights and lower the front more than the back, or use just springs and then stagger the wheel and tire combo; ie. 19"in back and 18" up front and then maybe even have the rear tires have a little thicker sidewall.

That's actually what I was thinking, but you threw me with the black. Nice photochop!
