Thanks, that's about the best compliment i could get. My goal was to make it look as clean as possible without being flashy... okay, the engine compartment is a bit flashy but I think tastefully so. Not sure on my schedule for any upcoming events but I did get to take it to Ponies on the Parkway a couple weeks ago. Cruisin on the parkway was slow (except for all the tunnels!) but still pretty cool with over 100 mustangs.

The radiator cover is an extremely tight fit. I had to shave some spots on the underside of the hood and grind bolt heads down to keep it from rubbing. not really feasible to make reproductions. The chin spoiler on the other hand could definitely be reproduced. I ground and sanded down hand laid fiberglass to get it to its final shape but now it could be used to make a mold. I'm looking into it right now. The seats are corbeau CR-1's. I had them recovered in leather. I wish the wheels were TF. Similar look but way cheaper! They're not made anymore. Thanks for the positive feedback!
And I was playing around about that haha, as much as I would love to have a cover.
I would love to learn how to fiberglass, are you in auto body as a career?

The seats are great, they really hold you in place on the twisties. The longest trip in em so far has only been a couple hours, but no complaints. No autobody experience other than what I taught myself throughout this project. I'd come up with an idea then figure out how to do it.

Yeah Im the same way, but I havnt messed with anyhting fiberglass yet just mechanical stuff.
And ok cool thanks, I am looking into some new seat and am on the fence about getting that style seats or some 03/04 cobra seats.

^ what he said. the rear just isn't my style, but the spoiler, chin spoiler, and engine cover all look amazing, if you made a reproduction of that chin spoiler it would sell like hot cakes man! also, my god those side skirts look nice, i wish ford would have made them like that from the factory!
