I'm gonna begin by moving them back into the grill area about 2 1/2" the see where it goes from there . I also don't oppose the mad max thing just want it different. It stinks when you spend a couple thousand hours on a project to have someone tell you oh that looks like ??? (Mad max's car) I strive for artistic originality ,Except of course ,they say ,it looks like a pantera LOL. But in truth I do want it to also look like a mustang. I want people to be able to tell where its heritage started. I guess that's why I ended up cutting up everything after years of restoration. Having people say things like, , oh he did a good job on that mustang. I'd rather hear ,what the heck is that, it looks like a mustang , but not really ,what did he do to that thing? Is it a custom pantera ? I'm not at all trying to be derogatory towards great restorations ,or any restoration attempt, rather just challenge things a bit and be creative. I built a lot of original cars I'm proud of but enjoy more expressing myself through customizing. Any effort put into classic cars is a commendable undertaking. Weather it be a rat, original, resto mod, resto rod, hot rod, custom or radical custom , even if I don't really like some of the them, it's all great!!! I love looking at the passion and work that's displayed on this forum, everybody keep our hobby alive. Tell a young kid about your car. Most of all be proud. Wow that was too long winded, but ya I'm bit!!!
Didnt our friend Seamon "Bunky" have something to do with the similarities between our 7173 and when he was at GM and the 67 68 Camaro? Look at our dash compared to the 67 68 Camaro. Hate to say it... but.
Just messing around. I think you need some definition around the headlights. Otherwise it kind of looks like it's wearing two pairs of reading glasses. Just my humble opinion which isnt worth much anyway.
You are speaking my feelings. I do Plan to surround those headlights with a grill that deminishes the size of the actual round section substantially, and defines them as individual round headlights with the top cut of. I like both the camaro headlight look and the challenger but decided the latter had more of a retro look. Unfortunately the new mustang headlights didn't work for me. You'll see how this will take the bulk out of what you see as they are. That's so much for the input.
Our cars scream for a hidden headlight solution.
Wow that pic does look like a camaro funny car it's so long.
Ok, keep this in mind, I agree the headlights as they are are too big, but after the bezels and grill are installed it takes on a new dimension. I will cut some cardboard and snap pics to show you what I mean 1st of the week. [/i]
Was seriously considering this look too for headlights . 69 for sure one of my favorite years other than 71-73 of course.
Ok here's the change. I moved them back 2". A made cardboard bezels to simulate the effect the ones I'm fabbing will have. They will also have 1" recess rings on them to give dimension. This should give you a better perspective of my intended look. Hopefully, no more reading glass look LOL. The grill will not be completed for a while but I wanted to get this out there .
