    Hi from Vancouver, Canada

    Hi Adam. I quickly threw some black on a copy of your green image. Sorry it's a bit messy but it gives you an idea of the look you're after. How about black with the semi gloss stripes I know you have in the box. ;)

    So long for now

    Hi guys. There are times we all make decisions and it was my time to make one. My '72 Mustang has been sold. I put a very fair price on it and it was gone the next day. The good news is that it went to a good home, a lucky young man still waiting to get his drivers licence at 16 years old! He...

    What are your least favorite design features of the 71-73s?

    Two things... First is the length of the nose. Too much overhang. But mostly its the placement of the wheels in the front wheelwell. Check out this pic of mine. With the 20's you can really see that the wheel needs to be pushed forward in the wheelwell for the proper aesthetic, much like the...

    Speedsters, Mustang/Rancheros, and Hide-away-headlights

    I was kind of fixated on the '69 Camaro styled grille but have to say that 68 style looks really cool. Makes the car look a mile wide. Nice.

    Speedsters, Mustang/Rancheros, and Hide-away-headlights

    That first Aussie Landau front end really looks like a 70-72 LTD. The direction of the hide-aways I'm going for is to use the existing grille hoop, set the lights farther back in relation to the grill and fashion headlight covers with translucent twin slots much like a '69 RS Camaro (oops...

    Speedsters, Mustang/Rancheros, and Hide-away-headlights

    Hey guys. Just playing on the drawing board and was wondering what our Mustangs would look like with hide-away-headlights in the same vein as the '69 Camaro. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch especially if you follow the '70 Mustang styling cues with the twin louvers outboard of the headlights...

    More Mustang artwork

    You know, I was kind of pondering the same thing Mike. I think the Mustang may be long enough to make a Ranchero varient look proportional. I'll see if I can put one together for tomorrow.

    More Mustang artwork

    Hey guys. I noticed the subject of a Mustang wagon pops up evey once in a while so I figured I'd whip up a couple of quick renderings and put in my two cents worth.The black and white image shows some of the body detail. The second image is in bright yellow. But my favorite is the Olympic...

    Potential Mustang value

    Looks like a good deal to me and I'm with everybody else on getting a good look underneath for structural rust. As for the rear spoiler, I believe I am correct in saying they were never factory installed but many were dealer installed or installed by the owners. They are such a popular additions...

    New shoes for Christmas

    Voila. Steelies and dog dishes. Only the stock size but it would not be hard to imagine them widened with some serious meat on them. Here it is with my Centerlines the day after I bought it. With a set of 17x8s I had originally planned on using. And finally the 20's. So if you are...

    New shoes for Christmas

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I have always used this site for encouragement and advice. Even the choice of blackwalls or white letters was helped by all the images on this site.While I have always mounted my tires on any wheel blackwall out, the white letters out just look right on the...

    New shoes for Christmas

    Hi guys. First, I'd like to wish everybody a Happy New Year. Second, I thought I'd show the Mustang as it slowly evolves back to a more stock configuration. Just picked up a set of 15" x 7" Magnums for $300, (which I think was pretty reasonable) and mounted a set of T/A's I had in storage.Next...
