2 of 2 65 Mustang builds at Scotts

[jephs422]

sorry........

[jephs422]

Okay so what's better than building a kick ass 65 Mustang and debuting it at Columbus? The answer is building 2 of them!!:unibrow:

Recession Schmecession I say. This year has been by far the busiest in a decade for us at Scott's. Unfortunately it has kept me from updating and posting as much as I'd like.

This Mustang was slated to be a simple frame of resto-mod. As things usually do around here, it snowballed and now the owner wants to take it to Columbus. Well, how could I tell him no?:P

Unlike the other Mustang, this one is not going to have quite the racy look, but more of a subtle sleeper; but again, 100% of the focus will be the fit and finish like all of our projects. If this car has a gap that is not a perfect 1/8" anywhere on it when it's done, I'll eat my shoe. Well actually I let Justin eat my shoe!!!!

Here's a few updated pics of the front end.

The grill insert and the lower valance inserts will be made this week and I'll post up a few pics. The inner trim on the grill is coming ound and a sheet metal one is being made.

Stay tuned for some more updates and thanks for looking:thumbsup:

The innder fenderwells are a bit different in this Mustang. Not better, just different. Kind of like when you, your mom, and your older brother used to go to Sears to shop for Jackets. Your older brother always got to pick his first pick and you had to get a different one even if you wanted the one he had. Then you cried for hours and your mom would tell you that his isn't better.....Just different.

Okay, maybe I have issues LOL

This looks like it will be neat, I think the hardest thing for most people is to know when to stop doing things. Just cause you can do something does not mean you should. Simple and clean...

[pacificustoms]

That looks awesome under the hood! Can't wait to see more progress!

[jephs422]

here's the inner fender panels. Man, I thought I uploaded them, and I bet my rant made no sense without the pics, LOL......Man time to go home and eat a prozac :lol:

Notice that the belt line runs all the way around. It ties in real nice.

[tones2SS]

Looks good.
Engine bay nice and clean and smooth!!:thumbsup:
Keep us posted.

[XcYZ]

Awesome, looking forward to following along. :cheers:

I love IR intakes.

[jephs422]

here's a few updates.

The front grill inserts are finished and the trim piece is done. The lower valance is finished also.

We added a set of side scoops that will be finished off nice with some chrome trim and we are working on buttoning up everything under the hood.

The rear bumper is also finished and flushed out nice.

Thanks, here's a few shots of the console and interior. Notice we didn't lose any leg room with our chassis.

The owner also wanted a cup holder large enough for a Big Gulp, LOL...

[ja.stoner63]

Sweet looking ride. The side vents are a great look and the Engine looks very cool...

[syborg tt]

looks very nice and I really like the inner fenders.

[BallnRods]

I love this build, can't wait to see more. I love the front valance & grill.
What are you doing for tail lights?

Post a link to the other forum/thread so we can see the pics.

Thanks,

Benoit

The tailights are going to be flush mount LED's. But not just your run of the mill set. We're making a custom set that'll should look pretty trick and finish off the rear nice.

[jephs422]

Well here's a few updates for you guys.

It's just about done, LOL. We've been working hard the last few months with detail work. It's about ready to get final assembly the next few weeks.

Here's a shot of the rear. The L.E.D.'s are made and we finished the lenses this week.

Here's some more of the front. The guys have done a fantastic job on this one. The sheetmetal work is top notch and the detail is fantastic.

That core support area looks real clean.....:thumbsup:

[CodeRed]

real nice but question where did you get the grill mesh?

[70rs]

Wow! I have always been a big fan of the first gen fastbacks and this one is way too cool!
The detail in the metal work is outstanding, the shroud is too cool, the bumper fit, side scoops, hood scoop, ALL of it! I'm also diggin' the engine bay finish. So clean and smooth. Looking forward to more updates!:thumbsup:

That is looking really good! Maybe I missed it but what is the final color going to be?

[syborg tt]

Looks really nice. I can't wait to see how the center consule turns out.
