Here is a better example of what you can do with a s197 Mustang. Make it into a retro 49 Ford.

 

Ahhhhhh no. Please say it isn't so.

 

Looks a lot better than the last one but still a no for me.

 

That's actually not too bad from what is out there, but still not for me LOL! If they lower it evenly all around it would a lot better.

 

meh....

 

X2 on that one

 

x3, looks like maybe a Barrett Jackson entry? Definitely an improvement over the last one though.

 

I think it looks cool. If the original Mustang had been in a wreck and this was his idea to keep it going so be it. It's still around and running. My father had a black 51 Ford (before my time) and it looked something like that, but a coupe. From the pictures he had that I seen. I wouldn't be embarrassed to ride in it. You wouldn't catch me in that red piece of Bondo in the other thread.

 

The Ford "shoebox's" are really cool cars. Your dads 51 would have been much nicer than this thing. 49 Ford with the s197 power train, and maybe some of the interior goodies would be cool.
