This ride was built & designed from the ground up. I love showing these photos at car shows, just to see the looks on peoples faces. Most say you're kidding me this can't be the same car.

Finding my dream ride at the crusher. Yes, this is the same ride as one page #1. This is the day my dad & I bought it.

It wasn't pretty, but it was going to be my ride. I had already seen my dad do his magic on other custom mustangs and he already designed the drawing of what it was going to look like & you can see the result on page #1

 My dad retired from building custom Mustangs in 1994, I was 6 years old, but loved his rides even then. Once he saw the S197 models, I was able to talk him into getting one for me in Sept 2006. We had it all customized & finished by late Sept 2007. Been adding stuff ever since.

It a little twisted and all the glass was gone.

The interior was pretty messed up, but it only had 3,000km on it.

It was going to need a lot of loving, so we got it home and start tearing it apart.

It took a little over a year to get it all done. That was working on it at night and weekends at home. That also including making all the custom parts on page 2.

Every piece of outer sheet metal was replaced, except the hood.  

Even both 1/4 panels were cut off & replaced. Rear end was pulled out and cleaned up, not really sure why Ford doesn't put some paint on these from the factory, but we did. Once we got all the dirt & crap off of it, it looked better than new.

Every Spot weld was removed & then re-welded at the factory spots once the new piece of metal was installed.

Installing the new floor boards at the factory seams, then sealing them up.

Installing the new roof at the factory seams. Dad has 2 frame pullers, 3D measuring equipment & frame charts at home in his garage. He's so picky it drives me crazy, but he's a perfectionist & the finished ride shows it.

Getting the new roof lined up at the factory spot welds. Sheet metal caps were removed so the inner braces could be welded at the factory seams. Then the sheet metal cap gets rewelded.

This is the hole that is channel through the side 1/4 under the side scoop. Once everything was sealed up the side scoop was installed. We can channel the air anywhere we want. It's also tilted down so water doesn't come up into from the inside wheel opening. Why have side scoops if you ain't scooping air?

Please rate the finished ride. I love showing off my ride. I worked on this ride as hard as my dad did, harder really (lol). One thing I have learnt on Cardomain, is that no one can please everyone as we all have our own tastes in vehicles. But as long as we love our own rides with all the hard work & mods added, that is all that really matters. Thank you for visiting, Troy
