    I dont like to say negative things about the way other people build there car. I just say I would NEVER build something like that myself. Im sure the owner is very happy. it looks nice other than the fact that the back half looks like a 350z
    what would that be classified as foremestic?or domesteign?

    You know... I would be more then willing to take that car:hide:

    I understand some of you guys trying to be positive and all but did you look at the other pics? Long as you fully wrap your minds around this thing you're encouraging... I appreciate the amount of work that went into it. Meth heads can work like you wouldn't believe. Doesn't mean they're working towards something good!

    apparently you didnt read the whole post....or you did and chose too try and make me look like an idiot:cry:....
    But....I can work sheetmetal as good as that guy and I have wanted one of these since I was a kid..and since the mustang has a similar body profile and size it probably wouldnt be too hard for it to look like this...:biglaugh:

    I was taking a ride to the mountains in my friend's Porsche and we ran across one of those Australian Falcons with the MadMax stuff on it. It was at a gas station in Canton, GA up on jack stands. The body looked to be in pretty good shape and it had the front clip with the dual spoilers. Definitely unusual for this side of town.
