I think that pic was an "in process" pic.

He did a good job with the work...but he made several choices I would not have made (wheels, neon..old carbed motor..too much stereo eq), but he obviously put alot of work into it and I can appreciate that.

Makes me want to get my XR-7 together...still don't have room to rip it all apart though :(  I guess I better just get the engine together then ;)

That's not foglights. they're air intakes check out the pic of the engine.

my only "thing" about the car is for what he (i'm guessin' here) had to have spent on the engine, he coulda built or had built, a kickass injected windsor, and even supercharged it-ala Saleen S-351...
well, i guess he couldn't have done al that for what it takes to build a carb engine, but, what the hell...!

He's actually one of the few people that DOESN'T get his hands dirty. He told me he has no mechanical skills, so everything done to his car has been through shops (paint/bodywork, engine, stereo). He paid at least twice as much doing it that way, then if he'd turned wrenches himself. But that's alright...the results are very professional, and he's happy with it. It's just very unique and different...the combination of parts is not like anything done here yet.

yeah, it definitely kicks some major ass, if I had it, I'd be scared to hell to drive it, for fear of vandalism or some ...

I saw it!  Man I really dig the headlights, but I would have had a cougar head in the grill.

I dig it.  The interior has an updated and modern look while the carbed motor gives props to the old school ways.  Very nice.

Well one of the good things with cars is u can do what u want your way.
I can nit pick and say i dont like this ot that but its not a bad car. It sure beats looking at all the same honda's.  Lights look neat and i like seeing carbed motors that are done clean.

Old carbed motors are ok too. They have a different sound to them and look a little different too.  It's all a matter of preference on that one. 

what i don't like is the dash and the ford emblem that prominent on a mercury.  The stereo is a little much for me but some people need their music that way.  I do admire the placement of it though.  neon's look kinda cool in the right place but are extremely unpractical and typically illegal to run.  His car catches enough eyes as it is.  He really doesn't need them.

What i love is that head liner.
