Matt, kudos to you for getting in there and just learning on the fly and making mistakes as you go and fixing them to the best (or least) of your ability. Big respect to you for that. And that stuff looks half decent to me.

But I hate that I am starting to like these Mustangs more and more...

Matt,

Very cool how you're making your vision happen.

I've heard that half the battle is learning to like them 'Stang stripes.

I see so many guys go and spend 30K on a Wyotech diploma only to just have a shot gun blast of the basics. If you know you what to learn about how to build or work on cars, I think your money ahead to just dumping 30k into a desirable project. Just work on it until it's perfect. At the end you shoudl be able to get some kind of return on investment.

It's more important to care about the results then to actually have skill. You can learn skill, talent only speeds up the process. If you don't like it cut it off and off and do it again.

What is the worst thing that can happen, you have to re-quarter panel the car. Heck even some proshops can't do what you workin on. So the car goes to another shop to be re-quartered. I'm sure you have seen that a time or 2.

Love it. Please do the GT3RS theme... grey and red would be a nice change. Blue and white is so played out.

The blue and white in the gt3rs paint would look good.

Have you considered the Maier racing rear setup? I love the look of that rear suspension setup.

Well said I think the trade schools are way over rated.

Looks good Matt. Are you still looking at doing the cobra IRS?

[Ron in SoCal]

Details Matt. We need details!

[Flash68]

I'm envisioning a Coyote motor... right?

Needs some red on the wheels to be proper
