    I'm not feeling it.......that car looks goofy......front bumper is way to big, and the round tail lights don't flow with the body, and the spoiler looks tacky, too. It might look better when it's painted, but for now, I'm not feeling it.....

    It looks much better to me in the second page of that gallery. I thought the spoiler was hideous until I saw it finished, now I think it's less hideous.

    I like the pic of the front end on the second page. After being painted. Looks kinda eleanorish to me.

    i think the smaller tighter plastic bumper on the s-10 would work better.if the chrome one is similar in size and shape.... may be a 74 comet upgrade:rolleyes:

    Thats exactly what i was thinking, the ducktail looks a bit overkill, and the tail lights should be mustang lights then you'd really have people wonderin! :huh: that guy does good work though.

    OK, now I've seen the second page [missed it earlier] the bumper reminds me of a Shelby Stang somewhat. I still say the spoiler is too tall and the round lights are too small and don't blend in right. As tall as the rear is now, I think 71-73 Mustang tail lights would have filled the rear better. But I'm old and set in my ways:biglaugh:

    I like the front bumper. Thats a pretty cool idea, but I would change some things about it.
    The rear spoiler is too tall and too long and does nothing for the lines of the car. And neither do the tail lights for that matter. When builds go like that it just looks like hodge podge of parts thrown together with no real vision as to the finished product. My :2cents:
