Default Won at the show!!!!!

My baby won her first trophy today at Mustang's Unlimited Power Show!!! Given the competition and the fact that I haven't even painted it this must mean I have done a pretty good job!

I was up against some nice rides and pulled out 3rd place in PRIMER!!!

Cant wait to see how it does once its painted

congrats! If you have Mustangs Unlimited as a friend/connection on Facebook, you will also see they posted a picture of your car up on their wall today. I checked out your car when it popped up in my updates since I'm one of M.U's fans on there... they posted it earlier today

I was surprised how many people understood the "work in progress" look. I didnt even have door handles.


FoMoJoe: What's MU's Myspace name?

Here's a few shots from the show:

Nope, their "Tom" side scoops. Nothing against all of the other types of scoops out there, but I wanted something that flowed with the body like Eleanor scoops, but didnt stick out as far. Basicaly something that flowed better with the lines of the car withought taking too much attention away from the body lines.

Here's the basic process: Made up some sheet metal patches, welded them in and smothed them out.
