Cool car. Seems like buying an airplane would have been cheaper than all those mods. I bet the kids love it.

Buying the airplane isn’t the expensive part. Owning it is

Sorry, ima kinda lazy and didn't want to read through all 15 pages. Why is the car grey instead of orange when the title says orange? Either way, the car looks like one savage beast. I Bet she sounds as aggressive as she looks, yes? To bad I dont live close enough to see her in person.

lights are all done! Raxiom headlights Grille Foglight, sequential turnsignals and smoked honeycomb holographic tinted raxiom panel smoked tailgate.

@808donovan79
Is the entire front grille your customization using a stock grille and fitting in circular LED lights? Or is that a Raxiom part too?

Well I’m getting a second one! This time since i’m getting it for me and not my son it’s gonna be a GT! Can’t wait the anticipation waiting for it to be built is killing me and only been a day let alone 8-10 weeks. Be prepared to follow along on my next build.

two gray cars in one garage? You need some color! I recommend the red, or yellow.

i have a wrap shop neutral color and i can wrap it any color with less color showing in certain spots like under the hood and in trunk

Gotta ask, why not a Mach 1?

 

[808donovan79]

not spending all that extra on a modified GT with badging (i know there is more than that, which I could always add down the line) especially if i’m gonna modify everything. Do i care about having a chassis number not really. I prefer getting bare bones base model since i’ll be taking everything off and replacing it. Only options i got was the black accent package so roof was painted black and had black badging. If i was gonna spend that money I would rather get a used GT350. Just my thought process.

imo, (and I feel ya on the money...trust me, only reason I am getting one new is that I have been working towards this for YEARS, I've known for a very long time that there would be a 21 Mach 1....and it is still a stretch for me.) I would simply wait a few years till you can pick one up for 35k or so. simply because, and this is seen in the shelby world alot on the classics. you can literally change out every part on your 66 mustang fastback to a NOS shelby part, correct parts, correct paint, EVERYTHING, have it more correct than an all original car at the meet, except for that Vin, and it will still be in the shelby clone group, and not the shelby group. You r prior project was admirable, since there was no Mach for the last 18 years. but buying a '21 and doing anything mach clone related (I don't mean putting shelby or Mach stuff on it simply to increase performance, all the power to everyone doing that!), but to pass it off as a Mach or something similar is in poor taste. maybe in 20-30 years taking a GT or EB and rebuilding from ground up to be a Mach clone/dup will have it's place, same as we see on 69-73 fastbacks right now, but currently...nah man.
