    The work on the car is very nice. The seats look like they came in the car. What year Stang wheels are those?
    It's only one thing wrong w/ the car --- IT AIN'T IN MY GARAGE. Otherwise great -- build.

    Just noticed -- the radiator has been painted! I think I will paint mine -- I thought I like the alum look, now I think I like the orig. look better...

    Yeah, I dont like a lot of shiny stuff under the hood(obviously)so I paint everything. But that is my thing, not for everyone. Also the pics dont do this car justice, they just look blah to me, but in real life its sexy as heck. This car has been a PITA to build, but I knew I would like it once it was finished. Those are 06 stang wheels

    Very nice job on the razed openings for the tail pipes,Iam a stickler for details.It's the little things that make a car stand out from the rest.

    Is your stripe kit matte, satin or gloss? They said they could make a custom set since i dont have a 5.0. They seemed like some really nice people to work with.
