In it's current unfinished state until being painted by "me".

I think it has a "mean" looking stance w/ 1 1/2 coils cut from the front springs...eh? But it needs a bump-steer kit for the tie-rod ends definitely.
I have the front fender extensions, but they aren't installed in this pic. I also used the factory hood scoop, but moved it 3" towards the cowl, then molded it to the hood...it's different and trick looking.

Oh yeah...about my username. lol I just registered here and didn't know my username would be in all lower case letters. I tried to use my first initial and last name, but someone already is using that? So I used my first, middle, and last name and it looks stupid. lol I'm trying to get it changed if they'll let me.

Yeah man, it's alot of fun when I do get to drive it. Right now, it's in several pieces in the garage getting a coat of "gray" primer because after doing the "red" primer, I didn't feel like my bodywork was finished, then I resanded some spots and had to re-primer. I haven't really decided on a color, but I had a couple in mind at first. Some kind of pearl or metallic orange, or Ford chrome yellow. There are many shades of yellow, but I think the chrome yellow looks best. The car used to be black, and I don't want black, too common. I even considered a candy metallic green, or Ford laser red metallic. Have any suggestions? Thanks.
