It'll give when you open the hood.

    I like that approach. A lotta people do the opposite and worry about turning heads before even having a reliable motor. That motor is a gem the valve cover and the hard lines really make it. Excellent work.

    The engine in my car costs less than Your valve cover

    Why did You go for the acrylic paint?
    Not that I don't like it, it looks good.

    I personally would keep the Salt Flats the same colour as the mustang wheels you currently have on. I think it really compliments the car a lot more then the darker colour. But hey, that's probably just me.

    Keep up the amazing build mate.
    You're crazy.

    Came in here because I saw your post in the camber appreciation thread and said "wait a sec..."


    Amazing work man, I'm jealous of all your bodywork skills. That car really got a second lease on life.
