Nah, for what it is- it looks legit.
The 5.0 is a cool touch.

And that swanky 5.0 logo looks almost as heavy as the rear seat.

Well the point was I did not want the rear seat in there. So There had to be something built there instead. Of course its still going to look like a seat because that is the shape back. I wanted it to follow the original lines. Weighs in at 14 pounds.

The rear seat of a mustang is POINTLESS! only for insurance reasons in my eyes. Plus there are always friends out there wanting to bum rides. this makes it easier to say no.

There is still access underneath the seats as well.

It makes it look like a real coupe.

I love it

I can appreciate all the work that went into it, and it does look very nice. But if I go the rear seat delete route, it will be to show off the rear strut brace.

I think it came out very well. I still think you should add something to personalize it. Maybe 5.0 in the 49th with the outline of the state of Alaska around it?

Only two bolts holding the back attached to a brace (very sturdy tho).
Does not flip forward. Never going to carry anything in it tho. Could be done just by adding a piano hinge tho.
I still have access to the bottom, but need to remove 4 screws. So if needed I can take it out in about a min ( don't see why I would need to tho) (so stock seats can install in about 5 mins) it can hold about 100 pounds we could of made it stronger but did not want thicker heavier wood back there.

No pics sorry I am do not have the free time to do projects like these any more. My friend did most of the work.

Yea I am toying around with the Alaska idea actually it will take some time to do that but most likely will happen.
