Started hacking on some flares,trying to keep from having that fiberglass flat flare look,glass would be alot easier though.What do you think,too big?Ron

Getting ready to sign up for RTTH, and the last year has been crazy,haven't had the time to work steady on anything.I have a Camaro which is real close to color,and should be nice ride,and I have this Mustang which is lets face it kind of nasty.They both will require about the same amount of time to get together,and neither one will have any test time on them so it will break.What do you think bust ass on the Camaro,or the Mustang?Ron

I can't find a flare that I really like,here is ine off of an 08 Mustang,I better make up my mind if I'm going to make it to RTTH.Ron

The hood came from CJ Mustang parts,in keeping with the budget,its a scratch and dent peice,two of the 4 corners have cracks in them.{perfect for this car}Its a 2.5" cowl.Ron

Heres a new one for me,the truck arm suspension didn't leave much room for exhaust,so I'm running side exhaust.I couldn't find a muffler that would fit in my limited size and shape requirements,so I built my own.They fit perfect,but have no idea what they sound like.I baffled them similar to the Flowmasters.Kind of cool from the bottom,because it is flat as the frame and looks really smooth.Ron

Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!

Amazing job. Especially considering it started with a $400 car!
