Depends on how you want us to rate the car...Appearance, mods or all around. I am just being honest and giving my opinion, and remember opinions are like *s, everyones got one. I would personally take the wheels off and see how fast they float down the river. exterior also needs some tint and a 4'' hood for my liking. As for performance you have a lot of bolt on stuff but nothing that really makes the car anything special. the car does have potential though and your on the right track...i rate it a 6 all in all..hope i wasnt too mean:cool2:

hey 92306gt ya i know i hate those wheels to they just might end up in the river they were on it when i bought it just decided to put the money rebuilding the motor before i got wheels. probley going with weld drag lite wheels since it will be at the track every saturday and i do have a cowl hood i got a 5 inch just gotta paint it. that wasent mean at all this is the first mustang that ive owned and i just wanted to know how i was doing i was a chevy guy before this ive built over 15 camaros including a tube chassis camaro race car that ran consistant 9.30 thanks for your feedback :awsome:

I like it- I like the black wheels with the white paint. Need better pictures. I'll like it more once it's blown or sprayed, too.

7/10

[Monkeygrits]

Car looks clean from what I can see. If it where me, I would only do a 2" cowl unless you need the room. 5" is overkill IMO (Thats NOTwhat she said). Ill give your car a 7 and you a 1 for punctuation.

[travj31]

i too am not a big fan of the current wheels. if it were me, i'd throw a set of big and littles on it or a set of dark bullitt style 5 spokes if you want something that handles decent. i'm also a believer in function over form so i can appreciate the mods that you have done to this point rather than a new shiny paint job. hell i've had (2) 1920's rat rods in the past couple years that looked like hell and most people wouldn't drive across town, but i wasn't afraid to take them anywhere because they were built right mechanically. not going to put a number on the car, just keep up the good work and making improvements when the time and money allow :awsome:

Being a converted ford guy from a chevy guy earns you one extra point:pepper:

[earleymp]

Different wheels and tint and your good! Looks clean!

[Dan B.]

Exterior.......6. Better pics may improve that score.

Underhood.............eh.......4. Should have cleaned up and painted under there while the motor was out.

[sutyak]

Not going to even read that mess.

[u1arunit]

Not a bad looking Old School 5.0. :awsome: Can you post up some better pics?

[yeahloh95]

you have a good start now just keep it up looks to be a strong 6 or so

7 out of 10.

[shockstang]

I used to have a '90 that I bought new that looked just like it, but with stock everything. I loved that car. No rating for you, but some advice. Please don't paint the indent around the bumpers and side moldings, or the indented "Mustang GT", like I've seen from the factory on some of them. IMO, that will take away from the clean look of the car. Nice looking car. Good luck.

[gmkillr]

Nice looking ride you got there!

For a Fox-body Mustang I would rate it 7.5-8.0

[billyNOTnice]

If your happy with it, it's a 10. and that's the only rating that matters buddy.
