We are going to be changing the front nose and getting rid of the large spoiler

We will also modify the rear bumper to get a better fit and paint body color.

you may notice the car will not ride as smooth at freeway speed without the front spoiler.

Clean looking ride did you just pick it up?

The owner has been driving it and taking it to car shows since it was painted and has won a lot of trophies. He was tired of the way it looked in the front so we will be fitting a new Stangaholics front apron.

This is the first test fit of the customer supplied Stangaholics front apron. I had to do a lot of fiberglass grinding to clear the electric fan. It still needs to go down on the right side and up on the drivers side.

To get the front end to line up better Brian had to adjust the fenders.
