Shaker, GT500 Conversion......

Well, finally got the bumper back from paint. You guys with the other conversions all look great. Well, here is my twist on it. I hope you like. (and no those are not the wheels that are staying on the car, wheels are being custom made and 6-8 weeks out). Pics...........

Looks great !! ..... I see more people are getting into.

this conversion. You might want to paint the radiator brace black so it does not show thru the grill. Looks sharp though.

Another conversion complete.

Looks good bro, it really sets the car off right!!! I have had so many people honking at me today I thought my wheels feel off.

Nice touch with the hood

Thanks for the compliments. We are working out of a shop right now in Harvest. As of right now that is just what it is...a shop. We don't have a showroom at the moment, but this is our beginning phase. When you get ready to order parts let me know. You can save a fortune on shipping.

PM me with the full price for a front conversion. I realy like the Running silver Pony, I have been planing on doing that all along, similar to the GT-R concept

That looks really nice. Very unique. Personally. I'd paint the radiator brace black like what was said before, and not add any emblems up front, neither the pony or the tribar/pony. It just looks class the way it is. If you really need an emblem, I'd go for the tribar off to the side, that looks pretty nice as well now that I look at the pictures again.

Looks great with the shaker. I like the shelby conversion with the stock GT hood much better than the GT500 hood, I think it looks meaner.

So cool. It seems that that front end looks good in about any combination!

That's what I was thinking also. I might try the smaller horse from the 94-04 stangs. More than likely I will go with the tribar pony. Thanks again for the kind words.

You and me both brother! The shelby looks good, but I do like the "pissed off brow look of the stock lines"....

Thanks for the compliments. I have pondered many ideas for the shaker. Some have included getting it chromed, polishing it, powerdercoating it silver or almost chrome, and yes body color. However, the more I look at, the more the flat black seems to stay true to it's heritage and I think it matches the grills and chin spoiler nicely.
