I find it looks a tad tacked on on the Mustangs. The design would be much more integral, if they'd moved the B-pillar forward to the door opening, then used a single pane of glass for the rear side window.

Yes! I was thinking the same thing. If you took the pickup style and made it into a wagon it would look killer, it would really flow a lot better.

Funny this came up. I started on one when this kit first came out. I grafted on a Dodge Caravan roof I cast out of bondo onto the back. Lost intrest, and I couldn't figure out how to lighten it, so it still sits like this. Glad I could find it.

Mike, that thing is awesome! The stance you have it at right now is perfect with those wheels. You did a really nice job with the cast, you need to finish that thing man

What do you mean 'lighten it'? That thing is 100 proof! Put a white surfboard with two blue metallic stripes on the roof and whooshbonk!

Sorry, I meant literally. There is over 2lbs of bondo on the body. I tried to hollow it out, but without much luck. Could account for the low stance.

Whoa, yeah. Well either build it into a curbside or give it another go, grafting a moded roof from something else.

Rob...I can deal with most everything else in this thread....but this is wrong on soooo many levels it just plain hurts my face to look at it!

Unfortunately it's become quite the trend here in Tampa. Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs, Tbirds, mostly 90's models that can be gotten cheaply. Its not really a donk because they arent really having to mod the suspension much. Its just "how much can I stuff in the wheel well." They apparently ride badly to seeing how they need stiffer springs to avoid having too much suspension travel on top of rubber band tires. Silly really. I dont see this style lasting.

Hopefully.

Oh, be sure to wear a dust mask! You don't want to breath that stuff.
