the company fabricated a half front and half rear chassis, as well as all new steering componants, it fits in the bay, whth the radiator mounted down low and as far forward as practicable

up the back most of them run a narrowed mustang lsd diff

poor choice of wheels for that one though, should be on some 18" billets or something...

I wonder if these "minimal modifications" would affect any factory warranty claims .... ?

from memory of the original site, the manufacturer of the parts has certification from ford, allowing people to still be able to make a claim on anything non mechanical....(ie.. if, say, stereo packed up you could get it replaced under warranty)

I like this bit:

I will be happy to provide the buyer with a test drive but if you crash it or break it, you own both halves. If you go to jail on the test drive, I will not bail you out but I will recommend a good attorney

Ugh why? Huge wheels aren't unique, and more importantly the majority of the time they don't look good.

they would be right at home on an oldschool mustang or something, in which case i would have said something like "those wheels look awesome on it...."


i might go and put some cragers on my NC next week.......oh and ill get some 12 slotters for my folks AU......

Enough bickering .. we all know billets look ghey on everything so thewre is no need to fight about it

That's the one focus I would own. It's a work of art. What I find very interesting is the width of the engine bay. Much like a capri there is not a lot of forward room but enough width to do virtually anything.

I agree, old school drag rims belong on old school muscle cars.
