Zoom Zoom Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think either orange stripe treatment would work for the back, I haven't really decided which one is my favorite yet- I like the amber in the taillamps. Don't the European market Mustangs feature a similar lens? I saw this build on your Fotki page early on, and thought it was a killer idea. Why pick which one of the new ponycars you want when you can have all three? And Bob? The Aztek may have been 'provocative', but what about it's corporate sister, the Rendezvous? That one was (I think) even more, ah, provocative... Thanks. The Rendezvous wasn't nearly as controversial (aka fugly) as the Aztek; it sold in decent numbers & was more of a US (& bargain priced) alternative to the Lexus RX300.

camaroman Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I love the idea... and the execution is stunning!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks. The Rendezvous wasn't nearly as controversial (aka fugly) as the Aztek; it sold in decent numbers & was more of a US (& bargain priced) alternative to the Lexus RX300. I guess that's just where you and I differ... I can actually stand the Aztek, but I think the Rendezvous is uglier than a Nazi medical experiment. My guess is it sold so well because the typical Buick customer's eyesight is in such horrid shape they couldn't see how disgusting it was!

Harry P. Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I can actually stand the Aztek, I think a psychological exam would be in order... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) I think a psychological exam would be in order... Sheez, Harry, I could've told you that fifteen years ago! Still, I must say it- seven of the ten voices in my head would rather look at a stray Aztek than, say, a parking lot full of silver and tan Tauruses.... Or would 'Tauri' be the plural for Taurus? Anywho- there's my take! Edited November 30, 2009 by Chuck Most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hey Bob, your build reached the world's largest general automotive forum! Looky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I agree with the wags on the 1:1 sites....I think it looks better than any of the individual efforts. I also agree with a couple of the remarks I saw that boiled down to "the cars are interchangeable style-wise." Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon9115 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I think it looks awesome. also look here it even made it to Cardomain http://blog.cardomain.com/2009/12/22/three-pony-cars-in-one/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'm loving all the comments on the various blogs/forums since it's apparently gone viral in the last few days! Maybe someone will build it in 1:1 scale and take it to SEMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stone Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I don't like faux stuff at all, so on my 05 Mustang build, I'm omitting the faux gas cap from the rear panel and I made a tail panel insert out of the black piece of an old cd case. I made a shape out of index card paper, then transferred it to the cd case and cut it out. I used the black ribbed strip adjacent to the "spine" of the cd case, so when attached to the car, it has horizontal lines spanning the area between the taillights. It will be finished in flat black. Out of your two solutions to the rear end treatment, I like the orange strip at the bottom between the turn signals better. Great looking build!
