"Gone in 60 Seconds" Eleanor replica
This Mustang rolled into the shop as a stock body, just wanting to get the front end updated to a coil-over type suspension. No problem, quick and easy - Yea right! It steamrolled into a major job that included both front and rear suspension, new quarterpanels, moving the fuel filler to the quarterpanel, mocking up all the body panels and fiberglass, smoothing the engine bay, building a rollbar and frame connectors, building rear brake cooling ducts, and designing a custom exhaust and exhaust tips. But again, no problem...
After the bolt in TCI frontend was installed, the owner decided to go full-on and replace the rusty quarterpanels, fix the rusted floors, and make a few other modifications..
