Being critical as a builder...the door body lines don't line up...that's #1 on the list of building a car and there are those rear flares....Completely ruins the car IMO. The front flares are decent but the rear flares look like someone with absolutely zero taste in automotive styling slapped on the most ridiculous abortion they could think of. It's like the person who did the front and rear flares were two totally different people. Look at the front flare and how they extended it down to the bottom of the front fender while on the rear they completely stopped...and that's just minor compared to the absurdity of the rear flare in appearance itself. Whoever thought up that rear flare has no business being in the automotive industry.

LOL....There's just so many "builders" out there who have no sense of vision when it comes to the lines of a car and what flows smoothly and what looks like a wart...this looks like warts...lol

Well Somebody Loved it 49K Worth!

My Boss Used To Say There is a Butt For Every Seat!

Everytime I Hear The Site Name {Bring a Trailer} I Think of A Online Auction Car That is Not Driveable!

This is true ....there's also " a fool and his money will soon be parted" ....Most of these creations are gallons of body filler just waiting to fall apart down the road. Like this one that was built locally to me...it's awful but someone paid big bucks to have it built....The mirror creation was a train wreck of bad decisions and form and the amount of filler used to blend all this bodywork in had to be in the gallons.

WarHorse's Wide body looks so much better

And its door lines are not correct either
Edit, That was in regards to the first pic with the Quarter Panel Growths. Although I still like it better the Bondo Queen also.

Yep,

Believe Me 49K Could Be Spent a Whole Lot More Wisely! Just To Be Clear Not My Cup o Tea as Well!

Not a Fan Of BONDOMOBILES. Get Out The Cement Trawl!

These Days We Have More Sculpters That Metal Workers!

That looks much better than the coupe...at least the flares are consistent with one another. But yeah...bad door gaps there too...smh.

Very true, lots of sculpturers out there...they should stick to making clay pots, not cars.

Like you said, a fool and his money will soon be parted, and I'll also add a quote from P.T. Barnum " A sucker is born every minute" lol. Anyhow, for me the worst are those rear fender flares, as they're way too large and visually look out of place... Those flares are far more suited for 4x4 Jeeps and trucks, not on a Mustang!

Yeah, I'm also with you, as that clearly isn't my cup of tea either.
