Looks like a pretty nice car in the pictures. Is it yours or are you just doing some work on it?

Damn nice mustang!! For a ford anyways!! :smile30:
That's the first car we did at my shop when I moved to my property! It was his first car, a 64 1/2 Mustnag. We re-did everything on that car! It has a nice little 289. Now all the chrome is pitted with rust, and a bunch of electrical issues due to corrosion. I drained the gas and put a hot battery in it, and she runs like a top. So I don't have any issues there! :smile27:

I mentioned this project a couple of months ago in another thread but it is here now for some initial body work. It is going to be a collaboration of several shops but it is a 2014 Challenger that will have all new race suspension, full cage, a new but modified Viper crate motor with six speed, wide body kit, Superbird front end and rear wing, all new custom interior along with a custom sound system, and very subtle but nice custom paint. We are planning on premiering it at the SEMA Show. I can post some pics as it progresses if you are interested. At this point the car is pretty much stripped and gutted and the cage has been mocked up but it can't be welded in completely until all the suspension is mounted so it can all be connected. The motor has already been fitted and pulled back out for now. I am installing the wide body quarter panel kit for now so they know how to set up the differential. Hard to believe that it was $7,500.00 or so just for that little bit of sheet metal. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I didn't feel like hassling with the real camera.

What is that in the background, looks like a flat bottom. I thought I would remind you it is in your shop. :smile26:

Actually there are three boats, four engines, two motorcycles, and a Jetski in the background. That is not to mention the Suburban, Corvette, and a shortbed pickup in the carport. Along with the Dodge and Isuzu in the driveway. All but the pickup, Jetski, and of course the Challenger are my personal projects, but thanks for reminding me!!! :smile25: I am trying to catch up to Patch!!!! :grin:

Oh you are not close to catching up with Patch. You can get lost there, plus if you get past the attack dogs then you have a 75# attack cat.
Catching up to meee As if! crazy.gif
That's cool that the wide body kit is steal and not glass! Oh and the white wagon wheels look at home on the dodge! :smile28: I would have less personal projects if just one of them looked as nice as David's Suburban! :smile16:
