Slapping some '67 panels on a foxbody:Completed Build Pics

Not my car.
Some might like the look. Reminds me of when Japanese manufacturers decided to "go muscle" though. The lines just dont work.
Suprised (what is a nice way of saying disapointed) that the engine puts out the figures that it does. No doubt the Fox is a light car but sitting under the bonnet - it looks like a wreckingball.
Have to say though; if i had the money pit. I'd be looking at something like this:
67 to Current model
