$5000 budget Mustang

Thanks ,Tom hows that Camaro coming?Like everything else on this thing,made the vents and man are they exaggerated,made some trim rings to close the hole up a bit,but not sure if I like them.Ron http://57hemicuda.smugmug.com/galler...09406637_tA53G

That quarter looks perfect. Lovin' the exagerated quality of the whole look. Oh and w/o trim rings is the ticket.

Love the vents they have to stay and make them functional...

Got the rocker section built,I wish I could have gotten the exhaust exit back alittle farther,but with the perimeter frame with the truck arms,there was no other place for it to go.The sucky part is now I have to do the other side of the car.Ron

[Restomod]

The exhaust looks good like that its centered between the door and wheel well.

[cantvalve16]

Looks great man! Keep on rockin'.

Off topic, but what is that in the rear with the swampers on it?? Old jeep maybe? Sorry for the thread jack, just curious...

[Ron S]

Its my Dodge Power Wagon

That wagon is cool, Stacey David has one like it (I think) on that TV show GEARS. Great toy!

Yep he does! He started it when he was doing trucks...Its on rocks and 49's though

Just finished welding the quarter and new rocker in place.Still don't know if I will put some kind of bezel around vent,but it feels good to finally have parts on for keeps.Man is the car wide,I think I'll have to call it a 66 Mustang Fatback.Ron

[Chad-1stGen]

heh, fatback or fatbutt whatever, nice progress!

[Ron S]

Got the quarters and rockers finished,made wheelwells out of an old Ford van side.Finally starting to look like a car again.can't wait to start on the front fenders.Ron http://57hemicuda.smugmug.com/

[cantvalve16]

From someone who is looking to cut and flare his own fenders, you sir are an inspiration. Thanks for posting all your work.

By the way, when I come to this site, yours is the first thread I check. Love what you are doing.

+1 i am always looking for pics and updates on your stang...

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

i LOVE the way your car is shaping up..

and i love the wheels.. glad i got a set.

[Ron S]

Thanks guys,its been alot of fun building this,unlike my Cuda or Camaro,which had me doing nothing but prime and sand,until I have no finger prints left.I think I'm going to put a belly pan under the back of the car,covering the fuel tank etc,because the front and center are so flat .Once thats done I figure I'll hook up the fuel line,and take it for a spin.Still have to bend the front down bars and build some coil mounts,and of course the front flares.A smear of mud and a gallon of paint and shes done.Ron

Sweet. Get to it!! I love the low buck theme, and the effort put into this ride.

[EL T1]
