i hate the wheels man but overall the car looks great man. But the wheels kill it. Just throw some ponys on there or at least 10 holes but if you can afford like cobras or welds then go for it.

Transition between the rear bumper and lack of side trim stands out to me. Other than that, so far so good!

X2 - Minus the wheels.
Hard to tell how the wheels will look, until the car has paint.

Not too bad,but it does need help.It is DANGEROUSLY close to becoming a 70's Camaro owner's dream car.Swap the exhaust tips,move the stripe WAY back,and get the car painted.The wheels look too small,and don't match that kind of car.Maybe a 4 banger Fox Stang coupe.Cougars and Birds just aren't meant for flat black paint and big ol' exhaust tips like that.Keep things symmetrical.Make sure everything fits together.I like the spoiler idea.Cougars pull that off better than the Birds do.Longer trunk lid I think.With the placement of the stripe,check out the early 70's Mopars.They got it right.Ma Mopar knew their back then.Things have changed,but the "style" is right.

Lose the wheels and the lettering on the trunk. I like the stripe, even if it IS a Mopar trait.

I agree.I like the stripe idea a lot,just not so far forward.The letters do look like Autozone stick on stuff.I like the whole design you're going for though.Just needs a little fine-tuning.

If you want to do the eliminator lettering later, i'd go with a more subtle look, perhaps, kind of like ghost flames, for example...kind of unobtrusive, but yet different, and not something that looks like off-the-shelf parts-store special.

I agree about the wheels as well, I bet turbines would go nicely with what you may have in mind for the finished product. I wish turbines were 16", I'd much rather have 'em over 'Flakes any day...

Other than that, I think it's shaping up well...the stripe idear is pretty neat, I dig it :D

On my budget, thats the only look i can afford!!!

Thanks for the replies guys,... and the lettering IS the autozone , i wanna put an original eliminator tag on it eventually, and i knew the wheels would kill ur opinions., but like i said, i have what i have and thats all,... glad to hear most of you like it!!!!!
Hey vinn,.... whatcha mean by the whole spoiler thing???
FordtruckFreek...yes i wanted to blacken my turbines like some others have, but two are screwed.... and the AA rims only cost me $175
Now remeber guys, i threw this thing together in a day and have been making minor mods along the past 2,000 miles...... I put the stripe on right before i went to hampton beach for the fourth of july...... it was kinda a rush job,... but then again the whole car is primer anyway!!!
