BODYWORK/TRIM This Mustang's has super slick body and you'll see what high quality craftsmanship turned into a show-stopping thoroughbred. This car was built as a tribute car to Carroll Shelby. It has been dipped to bare metal and complete e-coat processed to insure that its protected against all elements. This Ford's reboot began with all new sheetmetal that included a pair of OEM front fenders. Hours of labor has blended that metal into excellent fit and finish, a rich layer of DuPont HotHues Raven Black with Silver stripes and a glossy clearcoat shell. This car was completed in 2013 with over 2800 hours sweated on the details of this Mustang. And with its enhanced, Shelby-style profile, the car presents a professionally finished appearance that looks great. Up front, a custom Carbon Fiber hood, 7-inch HID headlights, LED turn signals with rear Shelby LED tail lights. Behind the hood, new glass, rides between new stainless wipers, bright stainless frames, and polished drip rails. From the side Eleanor side exhaust panels and fitted to mold into the bottom rocker panels with hand formed exhaust exits and chrome bullet-style mirrors. And out back, a Shelby trunk lid and sequential LED Shelby-style taillights.
