Okay, Any and all opinions are welcome which way would you go with a 67 restomod. I am at the point of making a choice and I would be interested to hear different opinions.. (some say less is more.. some say more is more) what do you think[IMG][/IMG]

I'm not a fan of that body kit, but I think a 67 GT500 kit would look nice.

Don't like the hood or body kit.

Honestly, I think your car looks pretty damn good as is.

Hard to argue with the Super Snake, though

Just to be clear That is not a picture of my car. I am restoring my 67 fastback and now I am looking at ideas for the body. It is primed and repaired.

Thanks

What is with all the extra lights? The car above has 8 lights, 8 lights? Looks like the sport family truckster...What's with the huge Lemans gas fliptop sticking so far off the side of the body? They could have flush mounted it at least?

The hood, grill and front air dam opening are ok, they just overdid it in the other arears. I'm impressed by the work and details that go into them, but the mini ricer spot lights between the headlight and grill really throw me off. I would do a GT350 clone with a 289/sbf or a GT500 with BB, but that's just me, it's your car. Put me in the less is more group, I think they make a Shelby type scooped hood for your car that is stock length so it lines up with your fenders/headlight buckets.

Personally I would suggest doing something less. If you do not make a Shelby clone I wouldn't suggest the wide body kit above or an eleanor body kit. Maybe do a 5.0L or mod motor and do a more modern interior. Roll the fender lips and I would suggest not going larger than an 18" rim. Color choice is up to you whether you do a single color or a two tone that has become very popular.

the eleanor look is WAY WAY WAY over done...even coupes do it, cars from 64.5-70......if ur gunna mod the car make it look different from all the rest...the black car is a good lookin car but its common and people are used to it. (just my 2 cents)
