Created by Petrolheads, for Petrolheads

The end of my love affair with Big Twins and the start of the relationship with V8s…

Although its probably never going to be finished, its given me a taste for changing the shape of old ‘Hell Yeah’…

1. Centre panel cut out of the donor hood

2. Panel raised into position:

3. Forming the sides from card and filler:

4. A coat of primer evens it out to gauge appearence:

5. Test fit. Maybe a bit much….

Richard’s car is the metallic blue with red tape on the lights

2005 Ford Mustang GT as she was at start of March 2010

Mods: 20” deep-dish ‘Bullitt’ wheels bespoke machined and custom powder coated in Ford Black. Toyos. Carbon Kevlar / Carbon Ceramic pads. Surrey Mustang spec 20% uprated and 1.5” lowered springs. Air Raid cold air kit. Matt Black wrap with Gloss black viper stripes. Steeda swirl plate (woohoo!). Beesting Arial. Godfather Air Horn. 1,000 Watt Shaker system.

She may not have been the quickest car there but PC and Brian set the 11th and 12th fastest start times measured over 0-64ft, its just a shame the other 2.4 miles were not quite as quick.

Steve McQueen’s quote from Le Mans summed up the day: ‘Racing is life, everything else, before and after, is just waiting around ‘ – brilliant!
