BIG REDS wanna be Nick Cage Build thread.

yupp, any time yet to do that headlight brace?

Its looking really good

I couldn’t go down to the bodyshop today but I got most of the body work done on the driver side side skirt, I have to go back over it with finer grit to get the scratches out still.

I also cut out the opening for the tips.

The rocker will have to be trimmed a little, but not nearly as much as I thought.

looks good dave(And yes i am talking to you) haha

Stevie Wonder over here with the shades lol

haha that was funny… :lol

absolutely love it! i would love to be able to do a build like this. my uncle has an eleanor replica fully completed. he won the adirondack nationals show a few years back with it. much love for the stang!

any pictures of his?

lemme go get on my other comp…brb in 2 mins

Remember seeing that thing at OCC show and going :wow

yes, he had it at the OCC show last summer











not trying to thread jack

^wowowowow!!!

oval tips ftw, too :smiley:

i love the nysp fox body notch next to it!!!

yea thats the car I thought about, ive seen that car up close. No offense to your uncle but I think the car looks too cluttered and kind of cheesy. He used Shelby scoops, the flat blocky hood, a cut out rear valence with no rear exhaust, and left the ugly factory side markers

/criticism.

its all good…thats the joys about building cars, we get to do them how we want. there are a few things i would have done differently, but its not my car! lol

exactly. It looks like he added his own twist to it. Just not for me.

Good eye!

The rear valance looks iffy in the lines and that gap on the uncles car.

It’s a spectacular looking car to an average joe, but as Dave has invested days into researching what the car is supposed to look like it’s not perfect.

He does have oval tips though :tongue

Edit: Dave I’m counting on you to come through with a good plate for it.

that was also my uncles car. he has since those pics sold it.

as for the twist, its a lot of lil things from the movie, like the car list, the inside of the trunk quote and the dvd player that plays the movie on a loop during the shows.

haha days! Ive spent YEARS researching this car. almost 10 to be exact.

Im not sure on the plate as of now. my ideas right now are

LYN 275
STOLEN
MONEY PIT

thats a few off the top of my head.

So… is the piece of SHIT done yet ?
