    Good looking car. I really dig the colors and like how the chop turned out. I would change the exhaust tips to round ones, but that's just me. Are you going to lower it any further?

    other than smaller tires I will probably not lower it since it bottoms out a lot now. It is already dropped 4" front and rear

    nope man thats cool I still like the white flames cause in the sun you could see the green pearl in them
     
  9. I like the car! Not a huge fan of the headlights though. But it's not my car and it doesn't change the fact that it is a cool custom.

    thanks man the light are 50 50 with people its a love hate thing ya know.
     

  11. What I do like about your headlights is your at***ude!! Nothing wrong when it's someting you like and you don't need to apologize for it. Good for you.
     
  12. You did a lot of nice work there. Maybe it's camera angle that makes the front look to High. 4" is a lot for it to look like it still needs 3" more taken out.

  13. I like it, not digging the headlights too much but thats just my opionion. Should look great with some whitewalls. I think i would maybe drop the back another inch or so, or maybe some skirts on the back, something dont quite look right back there, then again it could be the blackwalls. Love the colors.
     
  14. Looking pretty nice! Hopefully I'll see it around this summer...

    Nice look but it needs to be lower. I suppose when you get the whitewalls you will be able to tell how to go.
    Nice work.

    i'm impressed with your guts! that was a nice car to start with; would make ME real nervous to cut into it! very nice outcome and while a few less inches between the rockers and the ground might look cool(ER) ya still gotta be able to drive it.
    yeah the headlights are not my favorite part but the more i look, the better they seem to fit. what do you plan for the interior? the cool thing from the '60's was yanking the seats from T-birds to make the back seat area. just a suggestion.

    BTW shoeboxes are my second favorite Ford... right behind a Falcon.

    Nice work. Good proportions and slick fire.

    Ditch the bike shark-fin exhaust tips. A nice symettrical pair of plain old round pipes with a subtle round stainless or chrome tip is more appropriate.

    Looks good. Any plans on outlining the flames to accent them? That would be alot of striping though.:D
