$5000 budget Mustang

[Norm Peterson]

I think in the TCP car the front flares would look better if a convex contour was maintained ahead of and behind instead of becoming essentially straight (looking down). Straight lines tend to end up looking concave, and the early Mustang's fender peak only serves to make it more noticeable. I don't think it would require much convex shaping to look a lot cleaner, just that it have some.

Have you considered making a vent into the wheel well and plumb it to be functional in cooling the brakes? Just a thought...anywhoo where are you on the budget?

[Ron S]

The budget got busted on my mad dash to get to RTTH.I'm floating around $5900.00.Everything is here except the windsheild and a gallon of paint.Thought about functioal vents,but thats more time and money.I NEED TO DRIVE SOMETHING!!Ron

[Ron S]

Trying the IMSA Monza look,what do you think?Ron

[huffhinesce]

This car keeps looking sicker everytime you update!!! I kinda liked the fender wells that you had fabbed before but maybe incorporating those vents in with them. Really though to pick I would say you need to get the fronts atleast on one side fabbed up to see which one is better for the whole car. Maybe do a combination of the two?!?! I'm really loving both of them though. This thing is ridiculous and your skills are crazy. Can't wait for more.

That looks great. I didn't think I would... but I like it better than the flares.

[Ron S]

I'm down to the 2 of them,either with possible vents.Walk around it a couple more times tomorrow then flip a coin.LOL.I've got to keep reminding myself of what this project is.Grunge,lack of perfection touring.Its not supposed to be perfect,originally I told myself I'd attach the quarters with zip screws,for easy replacement{I may still}Ron

[hotrdblder]

thats it ron, go with that look, killer killer killer

I like the second look better. The flares were cool, but that second look really adds a lot to the car. It will be a cool view from the top, similar to the 70's Vettes where it pinches in at the doors and the front and rear fenders have a nice curve to them.

[srh3trinity]

Oh, BTW, if you want to make some money off of the car, I will give you 6-7K when you finish it up. Of course, that wouldn't take into account the shear hours you put in the car. Have you added that up???

I vote for the latest flares, MUCH more classy and realistic. For inexpensive paint and supplies, go to - www.paintforcars.com

Hmmm... yeah, I'm having a hard time deciding also. I like them both. The only thing I don't like about the "monza look" is the doors sometimes look out of place (referencing other cars I've seen done like that in my head here). I can't tell from your pictures if the angle coming off the fender is steep enough to give it that look, and sort of assuming you'd do something similar in the front (?)... that'd be the only reason I wouldn't go that route. I gotta say though... I really like the first one too...

LOL Count me as neutral.

but i am at 14k right now i do not know how you r keeping to your budget i love this buildskeep the pics comming...

[Blue70]

I don't think you could go wrong with either look.
I would probably go with which ever one is easiest at this point to keep rolling

[formula98]

I think it looks great. I really liked the look of the late model Mustang flares or wheel opening, too bad you couldn't incorporate both. Nice work and I love this build.

[Memphis]

Man, the second version looks SICK!

[Ron S]

One more time.Vents,too much,not enough?the pipe beneath it,is what the exhaust passes thru,and will be shaped to the rocker.Ron

[796spdbu]

I think the vents look right. The exstention you added tothe leading egde makes it look proportioned to the flaired quarters.

I like the way the quarters are looking the vents are a must in my book this car reminds me of this cyclone a little.

That last look works for me. This car is really shaping up nicely. It is going to look like a real streetfighter.
