Default Custom sheetmetal and chassis pics

Hey guys, long time lurker, firs time poster. I just signed up, so I figured I'd do the right thing and post some hello pics, LOL...

Here is one of the Mustangs in the shop right now. It has our full chassis underneath and besides the extensive body mods we have already done, it is slated for about a 2" chop this week. Anyhow, here's a few shots.


























hmmm....what this? LOL

wow that is quite extensive! I like what you have done, like getting rid of the cowl vents and blending in the rear quarter extentions and all that. But wait you said the roof is getting chopped 2"? I'm not sure how that will look on a fastback but it shall be interesting.

Oh yeah and WELCOME to the forums (as a poster haha). Keep us posted with other updates!

actually, I spoke out of turn....we're not really "chopping" in the typical sense. We are laying the windshield back roughly 1" and lowering the rear section into the body about 3/4 of an inch. The rear vents will be window's that will sit flush with the top of the quarters....

Well, I know its 351W based, but whats the actual cubes on the engine? The chassis looks really good. It should be sweet.

The fenders are on, and the floor pan is finished. The guys are making the inner fender panels next week.



















here's another Mustang that's getting our chassis under it.






that's all for now...

Haha, baby steps Waffles. There's a 16 yr old that read your post about your interior recently, and thought the same thing to themselves. There is ALWAYS somebody better. Just try your damdist to be #2
