    Nice... I can almost 'feel' how smooth the sides look...

    BTW... just an idea... I bought the thin black metal "tridon" style wiper blades, dismantled them, painted them silver then put em back... gives the wiper arms an original look with the new blade styles.

    Car looks great!... wheels look mean!

    Looks great. If you are looking for an NOS grill-standard-no driving lights, I will have one later this week.
    I will try and get pics prior to the Roundup.

    Car looks great! I almost like the look of the car without the grill.....:hmmm:.....I wonder how it would look with some kind of custom made grill that was actuall inset like some of the older mustangs

    Looks killer to me, I just saw another Mav with those wheels but it was still in primer, yours looks much nicer. Good work (y)
