BODYWORK/TRIM

Beginning life as a solid Mustang notchback, his pony proved a fine starting point for building an impressive weekend cruiser. The car's restoration no doubt began with hours of massaging vintage panels into a straight, ave-free canvas. Once that intense labor resulted in good fit and finish, rilliant pigment was sealed in durable clear and rubbed to an intense shine. And today, his coupe rolls as one fully sorted road warrior that mixes premium Mustang muscle with classic Detroit swagger.

Back in the day, earborn designers made sure every year of the first generation Mustang had plenty of visual sizzle. And in the 21st century, t doesn't get much better than this Ford's classy combination of correct accents and professionally placed trim. At the front of the car, bright Pony Grille centers a galloping Mustang emblem between traditional headlights, mirrored bumper and a Shelby-style valance that's stretched around chrome-trimmed parking lamps. Behind that grille, "FORD" branded hood anchors polished wipers in front of dark-tint glass and fresh stainless frames. At the sides of that glass, ullet-style mirrors reflect traditional door handles, rnate quarter trim, olorful fender emblems and straight rocker guards. And at the back of the car, second mirrored bumper frames billet taillights, billet fuel filler, mall reverse lamps and polished exhaust tips.

And nowhere is that philosophy more evident than in this Mustang's fully detailed engine bay. A long-time thoroughbred of Ford's performance car stables, his trusty 'mod motor' utilizes tumble-style heads, fixed-runner intake, igh performance cams and a Teksid aluminum block to create an unbeatable combination of smooth cruising and spirited performance. Twist the key and the cylinders rumble to life, inging baritone notes through brazen Magnaflow mufflers. Goose the throttle and a factory-style air intake, ositioned behind a beefy aluminum radiator, ings the engine toward redline. Drop the clutch and the car settles into an anxious gait, acking killer speed with docile street manners.
