Default So we bought a fastback, now what.

Picked this up last night. Lots of ideas of what do do with it are stirring right now. No matter the direction, there's obviously some work to do. Leaning towards alot of money and time on it, or spending ALOT of money and time on it. We have ideas, what would you guys like to maybe see ?

I think you should donate it to me when your done!

But seriously I think you should make it into a car that needs to be driven. Make it a modern EFI autocross car that still can perform in a straight line.

Put a Modular in it. I like the body kits also, Shelby, Eleanors, maybe something new. Whats your ideas?

This is pretty much the idea if we build it. If somebody is to pay a ton of money for a car, pay for the fun of driving it, not just 100k in body mods with a GT-40 crate motor.

Evil, there will be new touchs to the car, but it will still look like a mustang. Modular is one of the choices for the motor. It would be a little different, but for the this type of car, we may choose something that we haven't seen yet.[sm=devilgrin.gif]

I think that you should twin supercharge it, put the 05 front end on it and claim that it has 900hp![sm=lame.gif][sm=lame.gif][sm=lame.gif]

Just kidding. Im sure you two will come up with something that will be badass, have some modern touches, but will still be classy. And it will atleast crank, unlike some cars that I wont mention...

I'd make it into a sleeper with hardly any exterior mods and with aBUNCH of performance mods.Or go the complete oppostie direction with a tasteful body kit and still a BUNCH of performance. Either way I'm sure you guys will still do a great job.
