Is that smaller than the stock cap?

Yes. It is a Scott Drake 64-73 Black Billet Gas Cap. It is an actual gas cap that I modified. I removed the internals of it that would screw onto the gas filler pipe and I am going to fill it in with some POR-15 epoxy putty that hardens to like steel. I will then put some 3M tape on it, so that it sits flush with the body. I wanted to try something totally unique.

The shop did them for me, but I gave them the instructions on how to do it and it didn't look too hard. You have to just enlarge some holes and I think drill a new alignment hole.

Easily the cleanest mustang I've ever seen ! iIf they made a 2005-2009 Mach 1 I'd imagine that's what it would look like !

Looks fantastic. But if I might suggest something, clear turn signals would look much better than the stock.

And if I could make a suggestion, I think a honeycomb decklid panel would look amazing and really give it that retro look!!! But it looks **** good as is

I prefer a tri bar emblem ...that fits better. Just my opinion

I have the clears. The stocks were just put in when it was in the shop, so that they clears would not get screwed up by them. I'll put them in soon.

I use to have the SHR Honeycomb panel and it was a huge pain in the butt to clean. The look is nice, but the upkeep on it is just not worth it.

Clean my SHR Honeycomb with a 4" wide paint brush and then a little compressed air to get rid of the water. Isn't too bad.

Wow man! You did it right! I love the 1/4 window delete and the moulded ducktail! Very envious! Awesome job

Thanks...Took long enough! Just glad it is home and now sitting in the garage until the spring.

Just doing some interior work now over the winter. I have a bunch of pieces getting the hydro carbon dip and I am going to tear out the interior so that I can put in some sound deadening, to quiet down the cabin a little bit.

Wow I love the custom work, looks awesome! My only gripe is that I don't think the wheels do the car justice. Doesn't fit in with the retro theme.

nice, nice, nice...

I had *almost* had my quarters welded up- talked to Shaun from Fang(thats not you is it?) was going to put 69 emblems up there, but saw the SHR louvers and fell in love with them...

I got the fang hood, looks like yours, but its fiberglass and weighs a ton compared to the Foose...I went with a wider outline stripe, *almost* put a 'power by ford' logo in the stripe before clearing, but chickened out

photoshop some of the 69/70 round emblems on your car, I think you might like them too I'm also partial to black-on-blue, have you considered blacking the rockers/lower bumper trim line?

I see you got the CDC solid rear bumper, and the custom medallion- whats gonna give for license plate space?

nice looking work there- absolutely love the formed ducktail- is it all steel?
