The Genesis of a Masterpiece
The journey to this remarkable creation began at the SEMA show,
where Lopez showcased his Grimm 7.0. Introduced by Chris Marechal
of Vicious Mustang, I was immediately captivated by Lopez's
attention to detail and innovative design. After exploring several
other builders, I returned to Lopez Performance to embark on this
project-a custom blend of the GT500 and Shelby, infused with
Lopez's distinct touch. The result is a flawless representation of
timeless design and modern enhancements.
