WiscoGTI 06-13-2011, 07:26 PM Oh dear lord. That is one more random manufacturer part that doesn't belong on a Mustang away from being awesome.
lyonsroar 06-13-2011, 07:32 PM From the front it looks like that "special" kid grinning at you across the room.
I offer $4 and this small bag of salted peanuts.
JRicky 06-13-2011, 07:34 PM those are factory mustang wheels lol... apparently costs had to be cut on the easiest thing to change on a car...

Factory Mustang wheels for the base V6 model, to be precise.
Ugly, cheap, and not winning too many drag races.

puppetman 06-14-2011, 09:53 AM hahaha! I give the guy props for actually completing it. Although LSD must have been a factor in the idea.
alex62390 06-14-2011, 10:15 AM Holy shit..... I don't even know what to comment on, ugly front end, ugly rear, ugly doors, cheap wheels, mustang base, to much failure. The only way to make this look good is a flame job.

Edit: It did take a ton of work and looks like it was built by a legitimate "chop" shop, well as legit as a chop shop could possibly be. http://www.sheetmetalhappens.com/inprocessprojects.html
wrc_fan 06-14-2011, 10:24 AM Burn it and make it fast
Kill it with fire.
azdamay 06-14-2011, 10:31 AM I'm actually surprised... on this site it usually doesn't take long before someone comes out to defend abortions like this ("well it took a lot of work to make that, don't hate on it because it's not your taste" etc, etc). So I guess congratulations to that guy for making something so awful even the apologists here can't find anything to like about it.
LostContrails 06-14-2011, 11:02 AM Ahhh kill it! KILL IT! My eyes!!!!
jmcrides03 06-14-2011, 11:03 AM poor mustang. looks like something leepu from "chop shop london garage" would make. poor butt ugly mustang. im curious to see if anyones stupid enough to make that 20,000 starting bid

Could we refrain from comments like that! That comment is immature and disgusting.

Homer had a way better car! lol [thumb]
jmcrides03 06-14-2011, 11:25 AM nope they went out of business and had to close the shop because nobody wanted to buy their cars and they seemed to have a habit of their cars catching fire
jmcrides03 06-14-2011, 11:26 AM ya homers car looks like an ed roth bubble top
Malibooya 06-14-2011, 11:51 AM I think I'd rather own a pink Beetle.

No kidding. You mean no one wanted to buy gems such as these:

MisterJohnson 06-15-2011, 07:15 AM I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
2012sel 06-15-2011, 10:31 AM The guy has skills. Design is NOT one of them.
SV100 06-15-2011, 11:51 AM The front end isn't even symmetrical - one headlight is lower than the other.
So much fail...
azdamay 06-15-2011, 01:19 PM The front end isn't even symmetrical - one headlight is lower than the other.

Hahaha, you're right. I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. Now that's a custom, it's so damn custom it doesn't even have to have things like headlights that are the same height off the ground.
Eklipse113 06-15-2011, 02:15 PM that mustang was better off at the junk yard.
msolo34 06-15-2011, 03:43 PM im slightly blinded from the sight of that thing
azdamay 06-15-2011, 04:54 PM I just bothered to actually look at his site... I don't want to step on any toes but his location kind of explains some of it. Carmel and Monterey are nice places that eccentric people seem to enjoy living out their years. The Google street view of his house shows he gave it the same treatment -- it's red with a keen yellow racing stripe.
FlightSuit 06-15-2011, 05:10 PM I think the appearance that the headlights and grille are not symmetrical might possibly be an illusion. Would have to see more pics from different angles to be sure.
FlightSuit 06-15-2011, 05:12 PM Speaking of Nash grilles, here's something I did in Photoshop:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/flightsuit/metrostretch.jpg
I offered this non-existent vehicle for sale on Craigslist a few years ago, and caused quite a stir in the Nash/AMC forums and mailing lists.
ryuclan 06-15-2011, 05:27 PM ^Lol I might do that one of these days. Offer a Honda Civic with a 304 in it lmao.

Screw the Pacer Wagon, I would rather drive a Gremlin or Crosley.
lyonsroar 06-16-2011, 09:24 AM I'm placing a bid for: $ canofgas.packofmatches
Hey man I already offered $4 and a small bag of salted peanuts. He better take my offer.
I was wondering last night though, those headlights aren't even mounted at the same angle. Therefore the light spread and throw wouldn't be the same. Ipso facto I don't think it's legal to drive...
benkap 06-16-2011, 11:44 AM The lack of symmetry could be an illusion created by the nausa you get from looking at it.
I'm sure there is a ricer out there drooling over it and wishing they had $20k to waste on that monstrosity, and that makes me sad.
azdamay 06-16-2011, 12:15 PM Look at the build pictures, there is at least one head-on shot taken while the car was bare sheet metal, and yes, it appears the passenger side sits a little higher than the driver's. I'm not even sure they rest at the same angle. I'm guessing the guy either thinks he is better than he really is, or he's getting older and perhaps has yet to admit to himself that his skills aren't what they used to be.

2phun 06-17-2011, 12:32 AM Okay, upon closer inspection, I'm retracting my Flava Flav Derp comment. Instead I submit for your viewing pleasure...Hellraiser Chatterer Cenobite Derp. I think this expresses the pain of this build better.
