Mid-engined vintage Mustang with GT-40 cues. I love it!

The wheels?

In reply to bravenrace:

Can I withhold judgement until they are finished?

I won't say "hate", so I'll stick with "highly disliked".

Agreed, they're just too big and gaudy...

Well I don't hate it, but that front end is wasted on a mid engine car. I guess I'm too biased by the GT40.

I've probably been desensitized by all the wannabe gangstas around here with their huge blingtastic 24s.

I think it would look better with modern looking front end. Something about that front end just screams fake.

A Mustang front end on a Mustang screams fake?

The front wheelwells cut so high into the fenders makes the grille and headlights look odd - they're too close to the ground in relation to the rest of the body.

Interesting build - I want to like it, but kinda don't. Front looks too flat/awkward, rear fenders seem heavy and don't blend - like a new camaro heavy looking. Engine cover, why would you hinge it there? Wheels are awful. At the same time, it took a bunch of time and more skills/tools than I have to pull it off.

I think the issue with it is its not clear what it is trying to be and so it looks confused.

Some multi-spoke BBS and I would rock the hell out of that.

The link explains clearly what it is supposed to be.

I disagree. It seems to be holding down the fort of being an ugly, overbuilt, too much $ POFS.
