This is an amazing build. Every inch of it is perfect imho, they knocked the front end out of the park.  8)

Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

Again, bravo.
Clean, elegant, strong lines. They nailed front end as you say.

They knocked this whole thing out of the park.  I don't normally get a boner for older mustangs but this thing is hot.  I can only imagine the man hours that went into this.  

I might be afraid to drive it for fear of getting soccer mom'd.

I feel the same way!  I'm ready now!  My car is buried behind a bunch of bikes, cars, rv's and jet skis in the building my shop rents space in.

I put 10k miles on it last year.  No major complaints.  I did have a quarter window seal start working it's way loose but had that warrantied while it was still in effect (expired now)

I've become a Chemical Guys addict and am getting too good at cleaning cars up.  It's turning into a compulsion.  If I didn't have a bunch of stone chips (touched up well enough by the dealer I bought from) I'd probably do some sort of ceramic coat.

The MGW shifter I put in is awesome.  No regrets there.  Other than I have to explain to some dealer people how to get it into reverse since there's not collar to pull up on anymore [laugh]

I kind of want to put an exhaust on it but *everything* I hear has a rasp to it and I hate that so I go back to being fine with stock.

I have a set of 20" tires to buy anyway :P

I love this thing.  [evil] [evil] [evil] [leo] [leo] [leo]

If you were 20 years older...

that wouldn't scare you. :-*

Take it out of context and get back to me.

Glad you're liking it, ML.  8)

I've had mine out a couple of times recently now that it's warming up and the crud is off the roads a bit. Hoping it's nice out this weekend.  [thumbsup]

I daily drove a '66 Coupe from '99 to '02.  'A' code 289 (factory 4V carb, but non Hi-Po) with a C4 auto and a 3.00:1 open differential 8” axle.  Dark green with a black vynil top.  Never bothered putting a radio in it.  I just like the way the V8 purred down the road.
