What an awesome build. I'm doing a user migration from an old iMac to a new one and just sat here watching the progress bar with her 400GB of data slowly moving along, so this has kept me occupied and is fairly SFW...

I've seen a lot about how people say that the electrics aren't going to work, but this build makes it seem like all you need to do is put a bit of thought into it...

The car looks great, I'm not usually a fan of the Saleen body kits, but considering what you've got running under the hood, it deserves it! I still keep trying to figure out the direction I want to go with my car and the best part in the 2011 Mustang GT rental I kept renting before I bought my 06 V6 really was the motor. I wasn't a fan of the changes in the slight body changes in the 10+ or the automatic that didn't care about what I wanted to do, so this could be the way.

Do you have your own paint booth though? I'm pretty envious of your work space! Stupid NYC area and no garage at home!

Yeah when I built my shop behind my house I made sure I included a Paint Area with all the lights , ventilation and heat because I spend most nights till after midnight working back there. I fix all the neighbors cars so they love having me around and as long as theyre happy I can keep on painting the world in my back yard I have a mobile paint setup where I repair cars on dealership lots , I do a lot of bigger jobs at home.

Great swap!

My only complaint is all the Saleen stuff on a GT.

I would have liked the sleeper stock GT apearance but with a 5.0 motor

but it's not a true saleen....

That's like putting a 03/04 Cobra motor and bumpers on a V6 and calling it a real 03/04 Cobra...

Good thing that he's not building this car to make you happy.

The OP isn't trying to pass this car off as a Saleen, or try to tell everyone that it is one. He's just building an amazing car, that 1) looks awesome, and 2) goes really fast.

LoL I tell ya , Haters gonna hate. All a Saleen is is a GT with some good looking bits added , Im not passing this off as a REAL saleen , what Im doing is no different than adding a Veilside or Cervinis or any other body kit to any other mustang. No its not a REAL Saleen , ITS BETTER! This is 1 of 1!
