That color just posts.  I like the flame tread on the tires.  Great looking build.

Very cool indeed! Great looking ride.

I can only think of one word to describe your build: Stunning. Beautiful color, the wheels and tires are perfect for that smooth body, gorgeous engine, underside details are superb.

Thank you David, what more could-I ask for?

Sweet looking Cyclone! I really like that interior!

Thanks Craig!

Whenever possible, I like to create my own: door panels, console, even seats sometimes. The OEM dash is usually the only part I keep from a kit, mostly for a good fit with the curvature of the lower windshield. In this case, the dash was a bares bones NASCAR part, so... Late Mustang got the call!

Ah Claude , you did it again , a perfect match of form and function. Flawless execution as always. And I too, share your interest in 66-72 period .IMO the best of detroit ,design wise but as a 60+ years old, I  am hopelessly biased.

Excellent travail mon ami !
