Looks good and the rear end is  inspiring.

How many times have you said that at the mall?

Holy ! That thing actually looks like a mustang, not that poor excuse of a car they have now. I hate the 05+ Stangs. Now only if they would actually make it look like a Camaro.

That rear end is inspired, or copied, from the Saleen's. By the looks of it, they used Saleen parts.

I don't think "inspired" is the proper term.....:yuck:

Holy !!! This is a death trap.  You take the weakest part of a car in the 60's and substitute it for a part of a 90's car that helps maintain its strength and rigidity.  Then you take your front crumple zone and weld in some channel stock.  This is Darwin award level stuff.

Has anyone seen a crash test of cars of the 50's and 60's?  It's horrible.

The front shock towers on first generation Mustangs are known to come apart with vigorous driving.  Only a few tack welds hold them together....

  Yes.  i've seen what 65, and 68 Mustangs do firsthand when they hit immovable objects.  I'm sure when they're done, it will have been beefed up in various areas.  I know it's not the first one, where a piece of rectangle tube has been welded inside the unitized rails...IE, like we have in our Tbirds.  IMO, I'd go one of these routes instead:

Hopefully they'll crash test it first, then build another.

Was goin' to flame the old BORING farts on here, YAWN. Everyone should check out the rest of the site. They are doing a great job keeping allot of the older cars alive, and they have some VERY sweet mopars on the site redone as well. Some are clone cars, but as long as they don't try to pass them off as original, they are very cool.

The S197 Mustangs have more body kits than almost any car made its not hard to make them look good.

Paint and body kit looks nice-would of picked 2 other colors for it

Rims kinda of overkill

Engine bay looks old school and very nice
