I actually find this front end quite interesting. I like the way the grille opening looks like a mouth of Cobra with fangs that is fixin' to strike. I kind of like the black mask coming down from the headlamps to the wheel opening which reminds me of the related treatments the new Boss Falcon has. Aside from that, the rest of this rendering just looks like a slightly modified current bodystyle with too many stripes.

 

These are trying too hard to look like a retro 1971-73 model. I'd like to see more imagination than this. Retro is done. Let the Mustang evolve but not alienate!

 

Too ugly and menacing. These are mutants gone bad in a clone reseach lab. A long time ago Ford rejected proposals for the 1969 Mustang that ended up looking ugly and evil the same such way.

 

Sports Cars are sexy.....MUSCLE Cars ARE MEAN and Menacing.

 

This design in post #467 is the best I have seen yet. Love the way the back flows.

 

That really wasn't a crack at you. I jusat thought it looked like it had a Moose nose for a front end.

 

Exactly and since the Mustang is a pony car, as opposed to a muscle car, it should be light, lean and something in between.

Anyway, that said, I don't like the many clunky, blocky, heavy-looking, tank-like renderings that we've seen. That is not what the Mustang should look like in my book.

 

Yummm! I really like this Mach!!

 

We`d all love one of these wouldnt we..

 

OK, not a Photoshop, but there's a lot here to show how the classic '69 shape can be subtly updated....

 

I agree. I kind of like his drawing. I would leave out the window louvers though.

 

"this sticker is dangerous and inconvenient but boy do i love fig newtons"



Seriously though, that's a slick rendition. I think the era of the 67+ is where the Mustang is currently targeting. It can probably be played for more generations but it will have to change, regardless of what we all think. The 2010+ Mustangs changed and even though many are on the fence, it has won over many other customers. They can't keep building the 2005 model for 50 years.

 

bingo! I love it! Fill out the sketch a little more?

 

+1!!! I'd buy that right now if they'd make it!! That looks awesome

 

+2

Right now it's low on the priority list as opposed to packing boxes.
Just bare with me and it shall happen.

 

Thanks for the update Doug.....and good luck with the move!

 

No problem and thank you

 

Am I the only one who thinks Doug should focus more on his chop than moving to NJ??

 

Nope.
But then, I'd like to spend more time sketching too... I've got ideas running into each other in my head like carnival bumper cars, but between work and classes, I've got no time to put them down on paper yet. Stupid priorities...

Doug, best wishes with your move, bud. Being a military brat and then enlisting myself, I know how much "fun" that can be.
