Galpin building widebody Boss 302 for SEMA

Widebody Boss 302, anyone?

http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2011/1...ng-boss-302-x/

Obviously the car isn't completed yet, but what do you guys think based on the photos?

Silly and pointless from my perspective but I always forget that some people will pay large sums of money just to have a car that's different from the rest.

In this case it doesn't make too much sense.

Rear tires are going to be 335/30/20s. A bunch of guys on the Shelby forums have the same tire under the stock bodies with a 20x11.75 /20x12 widened Alcoa wheel.

I love the looks of those flares very nicely done. You guys just grew up in the wrong era. Wide body race cars were just amazing n the late 70s and 80s. Look at the Mercedes Black series gorgeous car somebody besides me appreciates these.

The craftsman ship is very impressive. Different / All hand made pannels. I woldnt buy one (afford one) but sure love looking at it. You have to remember that its a form of art for all to look at if they so choose. Also the 780 hp supercharger. I would not put one in my Boss but sure would not mind taking that out for some runs. It must run around 10:7 in the 1/4 or maybe even better.

I like it as well, but couldn't fathom the coin dropped to build it. I also really like the satin/denim finish on the paint. Ever since seeing the first demin Harley paint finish a few years back I've wondered what it would look like on a car.

You gotta remember...it's built to show @ SEMA (and it will be a horse race to finish it). I look forward to seeing it in person, along with all the other outrageous cars that will be on display.

Galpin must have picked up some laid off Pontiac engineers for this project. Body cladding experts, those dudes from Pontiac were.

I saw several wide body mustangs at last years LA Autoshow. Akward but there is a kind of appeal. I would never do it to my car. But in person it's only some ugly.

It's still under construction. I guess Galpin is going to paint the engine bay black.
