1965 Mustang Convertible

We had a customer bring us this Mustang that he had another shop replace the quarters and paint. He was not happy with the paint so we stripped it and started over. He had installed a Cobra rear and it needed fender flares to clear his new wheels and tires.

The front valance required a lot of work to get the right shape

Did you make the fender flares? Looks very nice.

Did you make the fender flares? Looks very nice.

The fender flairs were from an E2 kit but I had to extend them because they were designed for side exhaust.

Very nice convertible, are you going to put any stripes on it or is it staying like this?

I can appreciate how much effort went into that car...very clean! Nice job.
Now this is just an observation on my part...not intended to be a criticism, but considering the race styling of the front bumper replacement, was any consideration given to using a fabricated alloy air intake duct as an insert (think of a Cobra'd radiator intake) rather than the grill section, which looks a little out of place where it is? Or even setting the existing lower grill back into the intake area so its under the upper grill.....
