The team at 3dCarbon proudly presents their Ultimate Pacific Coast Cruiser. A part of 3dCarbon’s California Series, this Mustang is a bonafide V-6 Cruiser, and combines all the best of what was great about 1960’s California with technology straight out of tomorrow.

The aerodynamic styling is enhanced by the 3dCarbon V-6 Pony Package body kit and a Mach 3 three-piece spoiler. The Dupont paint with Pearl is reminiscent of the pastel colors from the 60’s, but adds a modern day twist, while the Stitchcraft interior was made to emulate the late 60’s “California Special”. It makes a statement by creating a true white-living environment.

Why do they always look so much better in illustrative form? And why to manufacturers rely on illustrations since they are so innacurate? Why not go straight to PS?

Anyway, the drawing looks great but the final product is not nearly as nice.

I was at the shop yesterday and from what I seen it looks like the illustration except for the interior color. The paint and interior are "INTENSE" that is the only way I can describe it. Ernie and his crew put together nice clean packages for the Mustang and the Fusion for SEMA this year.

The F150 kit is clean as well and the Focus kit should bring back some excitement to that product line. Looking forward to creating some cars for CFM and attending 2006 shows promoting CFM, Blingz, and of course 3d Carbon

The ollustration rear-end looks slightly different then an actual stang. it's a bit more flattened, and less "pig-nosed" ... so, I'd have to see the car in person to give an accurate opinion.

As far as the GT logo on the back "gas-cap" emblem, I think that was probably just a mistake.

The illustration rocks though!

The color in the illustration is nice, would be a nice custom color. Can't wait to see it, unless its the color in the links by spenser, nothing wrong with that but just not as much of the wow to it.

This one has got my interest too.
Surprised that they stayed with the single exhaust pipe.
(Unless this is an illustration error.)

That's an interesting idea, double tip pipes on one side.

This thing is totally gorgeous in my opinion in person... I have said it all day long, I am not a fan of verts, but this is one of the verts I really loved.

The color really pops, and the whited out interior at first I wasnt sure I would like, but, it looks really rich and retro. Not sure how practical it is, but it looks pretty nice...

Jessica,

I gave Mike from Street Scenes my cell phone number and asked him to call me when you showed up, but I was only there Wednesday and didn't hear back from him. I hope you and your husband had a good time!

Brad, I didnt get there until Thursday nite... my kids recent illness took up most of hubbies vacation time, so we could only go one day.

I had lunch with Mike on Friday, after I stalked him across the cafeteria, LOL He told me you were looking for me.. I was so bummed to have missed ya!

We had a great time, And I think we actually saw about 75% of the show, in 4 hours. Its called Power Conventioning!
